Baby Mobile

I've been working on this custom mobile for what seems like forever now, and I FINALLY completed it last week!  The animals were no problem for me (well, except for the zebra who turned out crazy the first time around and needed a redo), but the construction of the mobile was a challenge.  I've never done a mobile before and I had just planned on hanging the animals from an embroidery hoop covered with yarn.  What looked good in my head didn't translate as well in real life, so I sat.  And I thought.  And I obsessed.  And this is what I came up with:

It makes the babies go wild.

Bunting DIY

Today I'd like to share a super easy DIY.  I know a lot of you are collectors of pretty things, just like me, so many of you probably have lots of vintage scarves hanging around.  Here's a fun way to utilize some of them:

Supplies:

scarves;  ribbon, string, or yarn (I used finger garland I had around)

1.  Hang your ribbon or string wherever you desire.

2.  Fold scarves in half to form triangles and hang side by side.  It should look like this:

There you have it!  It's a super easy/super pretty scarf bunting!  

I hope you enjoy!  xoxo Katie

Project Restyle?

Okay, I don't know if this actually counts as Project Restyle, but I did take a before picture of the nursery.

Thank you all for the kind words about the nursery!  It's such a peaceful place to be. :)  And, I promise to stop with all the incessant baby talk soon, but for now you'll just have to bear with me a little.  ;) 

I hope your week is starting off wonderfully!  xoxo Katie

Where It's At

I'm so glad we powered down and got a nursery together for Poesy before she arrived (two days before she arrived, to be exact).  It's made up of some of Hope's baby leftovers (mostly just the crib), a bunch of stuff from my studio, and several things I had bought and stashed, not really knowing where they'd go.  Although it is still a bit of a WIP, spending my late nights/early mornings in there makes me so happy.  Here's a little peek for you:

I love that she already has a huge book collection (mostly not pictured).  Hope went through all of her books (that girl has a MAJOR library) and made a baby pile.  I really hope Poesy is a reader just like her big sis.

She mostly doesn't use this room yet, except for a nap in the afternoon here and there, but it's so peaceful at night.  It's where the cool kids hang out.  ;)

Etsy Love: Nursery Edition

I have been browsing Etsy tonnnns more now that I have a little nursery to decorate.  The hardest part will be sifting through everything and actually making decisions!  Here's a little Etsy love for your Thursday:

 Orange Studio

Dottie Angel

Cutesy Poo

Mother Midnight Vintage

Evangelione

The Storybook Rabbit

As you can see, I don't really have a color scheme picked out, but I think I'm leaning towards bright colors for the nursery.  I go back and forth... I guess we'll just see once we get there.  ;)  Have a lovely day!  xoxo Katie
