My current obsessions

Here are my current super cute baby obessions at the moment:



The Mia Bossi Lyndsey diaper bag. It's a little more than I want to spend but you can buy an insert and it becomes a laptop bag/briefcase after you're done using it as a diaper bag.





The Bell Turno diaper bag from babyGap. Quite a bit cheaper and still pretty darn cute. It will be a hard decision!

As far as bedding goes, I'm loving the orange/blue/white combination for a boy. I LOVE everything about this bedding, but the price tag is outrageous for my budget. Even though the fabric is pricey, I feel like I could buy the fabic and make something similar for cheaper. I especially love the stripe.




From the same place, I LOVE this bedding for a girl. On the same note, I'd have to buy the fabric and make the bedding for it to fit anywhere near my price range. I'd even maybe mix it with that super cute green houndstooth I've had my eye on. Both bedding sets and all fabrics pictured are Serena and Lily.

These are some cute websites to look at custom bedding. Jacquelyn Reese and also Polka Tot Designs. While they do a good job, it would probably be hard for me to pay someone (unless I'm feeling awful) $300-400 to make my bedding when I can sew. If I couldn't sew, I would definitely order from them!

I love all of these fabrics:

Okay, enough obsessing today!

finally!

After several years of waiting, we are now able to afford a bedroom suite! I am SO SO SO excited!! We should get several of the pieces in by the end of the week! I'm on cloud 9!

um, hello?

Did anyone else get the new Ballard design catalog??? I'm so very excited! It seems they have upped their taste level a little bit! Just look at this lamp, gorgeous! And the price is great at $99!


















And for you bargain-hunters out there, West Elm has some great prices on their curtain panels. I'm not sure of the quality, but they look beautiful in the magazine! I espeically like the two-toned panels and the silver dupioni panels. Gorgeous!


Also, I'm excited to announce I'm pregnant! We are so very excited! So expect to see some baby things on here from now on! Here is the first of many idea boards...ignore the name...we have since moved on!

Be still, my heart

Welcome back Pottery Barn. I don't know where you've been the past couple of seasons, but I'm glad you're back. Instead of those harsh, neon colors you're back to your calm, natural self. While you've saved me a lot of money the past year, there's nothing better than having you back. So, cheers to you and glad you could make it back for 2009!
