The Happiest Place on Earth

You can ask Gene. I'm obsessed with the nursery being the happiest place on earth for Baby D. Bright cheery colors galore. Here's a quick run down of what we've got so far.

Gene found a sweet deal on a rug (visible in the background of several photos).
Chris, Gene's mom, made these fabulous curtains. Happy Hippos are from Ikea.



I found an awesome deal on the mid-century modern dressers. Just repainted the knobs.




I love the leaping fish mobile. (Ikea strikes again).



You can see the little giraffe enjoying those chipper orange sheets.



Skip Hop lamp ties all the colors together.



And last, but not least, is a photo of Jemaine, the giraffe. He's eagerly awaiting Baby D's arrival. He usually sleeps with me.

Funny Coworkers

Well, it seems like PUNCH is going to throw a shower for Stephanie (the other pregnant girl in the office) and me. Super cool of them - I can't wait!

Best of all is this invite that Sarah made - funny stuff. The images go backwards, but you get the point.

Comfy

I'll take one of these please in adult size...and minus the straps.

orange obsessed

You can ask Gene. I'm obsessed with having orange sheets. So, I finally broke down and ordered them this weekend and they have arrived!

I'm totally in love. And am mostly happy I don't have to stalk orange sheets online any more. They are much harder to find than you'd think. I mean, who doesn't love orange?!

Sheets are by Litto Kids.

Nursery in progress

Well, we just got our curtains up. Thank you to Chris, Gene's mom, for making such fabulous curtains. They are red w/ many white hippos all over them. Totally in love w/ them. The rest of the room will be pretty neutral to balance out the bright redness of the curtains.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find a nice tan/light brown rug? Nothing fancy, just soft enough to sit on the floor when Baby D is in play mode.

Baby blue and orange is the only theme we're going for. We have baby blue shelves in the room. And I'm trying to register for all things baby blue and orange. Blair - I owe this to you - changing my hatred of orange into a love of it. But, orange baby stuff is harder to find that you'd think. Hmpf.

Will take pics of curtains and post later.

Rambling for today. Complete.
