Two weeks ago, I decided that I wanted some chic and classy art for the nursery. I wanted something that we could keep in her room as she grew up. Something that I could tell her I bought for her back when she was still so tiny, in my belly, as I sat and thought about who she'd be, what she'd look like, and what name we'd be calling her.
When Hubs and I talk about her, we always envision her as a toddler. Bright blue eyes (I want her to have his color blue, he wants her to have mine...), a sprinkle or two of freckles when she has a slight tan, and light brown or blonde hair. By this point, she's talking, and like her parents, is full of whit and spunk. We assume we'll have frequent moments of looking at one another mouthing "Did she really just say that?!" I want her to grow up smiling & happy, knowing that her dad and I love her, and want the most perfect life for her.
But one of the traits that I want her to have more than anything, is confidence. I've struggled with confidence for a lot of my life. I've been blessed to have a large, loving family and an amazing best friend who I've known since the day I was born. I imagine that without them, I wouldn't be as confident as a I am today. But there are still some things that I struggle with that I hope to change. And then there's Hubs. Dude can literally talk to anyone. He will try anything once and is not afraid of failure. He used to eat at a restaurant by himself when he traveled (and I'd cry when I got off the phone with him because I felt so bad that he was alone). It's probably why after throwing him to the wolves (aka my entire extended family) at my sisters engagement party nearly 6 years ago, he's still around.
I love that man and his confidence, and want nothing more than for our baby girl to acquire all of that positive energy from him.
Anyway, pregnant hormonal rant over. I bought the following prints for her nursery and can't wait to see them in person. They're from SSPrintShop and I think we'll end up doing the three over her crib or by the glider/rocking chair. We'll likely frame them in white, to make them pop next to the pink walls.
Since I'm loving the gold accents, I think I'm going to start adding gold details throughout the room.
I'm not sure if these decals will go with the room or not, so we'll have to see, but it's a little inspiration for the gold accents if not. Either way, love Land of Nod and I can't believe they're only $25!
Lastly, I want a round, gold mirror to put over either the changing table or dresser. I like the crisp lines of this one, and the darker gold color. In my opinion, I think it looks richer!
