Beak & Cam = BABY (Part 2)

Hey Guys! Remember back in March when I posted about helping my friends Beak & Cam get the nursery together for their soon to be arriving baby girl? Well, we’re still at it. Cam and Erin (aka Roonz, aka Roonstuff) and myself got together last night and whipped this room into shape. In a few short hours (fueled by delicious lasagna) we assembled the crib and changing table, painted the paneling and hung up some artwork! Yeah team. It was awesome to get so much done in such a short amount of time. The downside of course is there is still so much left to do. Don’t worry Cam! We’ll get this done before that little girl shows up! We’ve only got a few short weeks left to finish the room up. We are entering the “final touches phase”, so that’s pretty good progress. Here’s a list of the things still left to do: ▼ Hang Wooded Blackout Blinds ▼ Hang Curtain Rods ▼ Hang Curtains ▼ Install Curtain Tie Back ▼ Install Floating Bookshelves ▼ Style & Accessorize Shelves with Vintage Books and Artwork ▼ Hang Remaining Artwork ▼ Crib Mattress ▼ Crib Sheets ▼ Install Switch Plate ▼ [...]

Nursery: 1 Year Deep

May 2, 2012

It was my intention when I started this post to update you on some functional storage solutions that I had come up with for my little guy’s little nursery. Then I decided that maybe it would be more helpful for any future moms out there to give you my two cents about how the nursery functions. What I like, what I don’t, what I’ve changed and what I’ve added over the last year. A Sorry Excuse For a Photo. First of all, earlier this week it looked like a onesie explosion up in here. I quickly ran out of storage for the little dude when Finn outgrew ALL of his clothes and Gus was not ready to grow into them yet. Plus I had an over-flowing pile of onesies and baby outfits that Gus was just outgrowing. This space needed some severe tidying ASAP. I went out and got a new Malm dresser from IKEA and put it in the back of his closet under his hanging clothes. It matches the other dresser in his room but is slightly shorter. We got the three drawer style for the closet instead of four. I figure if he ever wants move the [...]

Beak & Cam = Baby (Part 1)

I’m really excited about this post! Some of my dearest friendthrens in the whole world, Cam & Beak (legendary hip hop producer) are having a baby this July. That means their girl babe and my Gus will be less than a year apart!!!! So excited about this. Cam is in charge of this nursery while Beak is out on tour and asked me for some nursery advice, and you know me, I was happy to oblige. I’m going to have a few upcoming posts of the progress of their new nursery so you can see it come together step-by-step. Let’s start at the beginning. Cam has a good start on this room, she’s already gone ahead and painted the walls the palest and mintiest blue-green color and has had the trim painted white. It’s looking fresh and new except for the beadboard on the far wall. We both agreed that had to get painted white asap. She has already collected a few great pieces of artwork and picked up this awesomely amazing black rocker with black & white gingham fabric on craigslist for a song. Look what else, she’s totally on board with the graphite grey knitted pouf from CB2. [...]

How I Really Feel About My Rocker

So do you guys remember back in May when I was freaking out about what kind of chair to get for the nursery? Well I thought I would put my two cents in and let you know how I feel about it now. After much debate I decided to go ahead and order rocker legs for my H-Frame vintage Eames chair off of ebay and to accompany the rocker I purchased a grey knitted pouf from CB2 to increase the overall comfort level, and guess what?? I am totally happy with how things turned out! The rock on the Eames chair is really nice, that’s my favorite part about the whole thing, a nice smooth rock. There is obviously not a high neck/head rest on this chair, but that’s okay, I haven’t found myself needing it at all even on the most tiredest of nights. I actually think not having a place to rest my head keeps me more awake and alert for those late night feedings. The arms are in a good spot for me too, I think it’s actually really comfortable. I usually rest my arms and cradle Gus while I feed him a bottle. This also worked [...]
