Love this space

Finally, after months and months I have finished work before the baby arrives. Now that the Christmas festivities have settled down I have some time to myself. Which means catching up on my favorite blogs and magazines. Today I am loving this simple clean neutral home designed by Julie Charbonneau featured in the February issue of House & Home.  I love that it is clutter free yet still cozy and warm.

Bebelicious Basket

My husband and I have been talking about where the baby is going to sleep once she arrives. There are so many to options to choose from it is actually quite overwhelming. After doing a little research we decided on this beautiful organic Moses basket from Bebelicious. Their baskets are so adorable and the bedding comes in a range of different designs. We opted for the Dewberry design, but it was hard to pick with do many great options. As a first time mum I think I will be a little worried and paranoid so I really wanted something that is portable. For us the Moses basket was a good option because I can move her around during the day so that I can easily keep an eye on her while she is sleeping.

NEW Pretty Maps

 Boston

When my husband and I travel we often like to buy maps from the places that we go to. They remind me of all the adventures that we had in that particular place. I thought that it would be good to frame them but have never got around to it. A while ago I blogged about Aaron Straup Cope's pretty maps and I recently found out that he has new editions coming out. His art is like a vibrant colurful newer version of an old ordinary map.To me they would be pretty art even if they were not a map.  I would love to buy a few of his maps that are of places that we have been to and then frame them as a series of 3 or so.

Christmas stocking wish list...

Yesterday I posted about adding some stockings to my Christmas collection and then I started looking for inspiration. I came across this great store on Etsy that does custom stockings from a large range of fabrics. I have chosen some of my favorites below.

My Nursery Reveal

  

Slowly slowly the nursery has been coming together and finally it is looking somewhat complete. Children's rooms tend to become more and more colourful as they collect toys and clutter so I thought it would be good to start with a neutral pallet. I know I will add more to it over time, but I have got to the stage where I feel happy and relaxed when I walk in. I thought I would share some pictures of what I have done so far. Hope you enjoy xx

Oh Christmas Tree..Oh Christmas Tree

I got a little excited this year and decided to put my Christmas tree up early. After being a little disappointed with my decorating skills last year I went out and bought some new decorations to add to the collection. This year I went with a Gold, Silver and White theme and I am loving it. I have been turning the Chrissy lights on every night too. Having a baby has made me fall in love with Christmas all over again. Next year I am going to add stockings to my Christmas collection.

My baby shower!

On the weekend I invited all my close girlfriends and family over to celebrate the arrival of our baby girl. Finally after lots of planning my baby shower all came together. Most of my inspiration came from this baby shower I posted a while ago. I loved the pink, orange and green colour theme. I wanted it to be girly but still have a bright and fun element to it. It was so nice to bring out all those childhood treats and that remind you of when you were young. We played games, had lolly bags and ate heaps of and sweets. Now with only 3 months to go I am getting really excited about meeting the new addition to our family of two. Hopefully my baby shower will be a sign of all the wonderful birthday parties to come.
