the newest baby's nursery

Sorry I've been totally off the grid here in blog world.  The past couple of weeks have sucked been tough - I've been irritable, grouchy and just plain moody.  I figured if I hopped on here to give you insight on life (haha) that I'd just end up complaining and where does that get us?  Nowhere.

Anyways, Patrick is playing contentedly and I got some sudden inspiration to work on the new nursery.  I don't know why, but I'm feeling much different about this one.  I want it edgy and fun and colorful, as opposed to Patrick's which was neutral and soft and sweet.  I tell ya what, that calming factor in his nursery sure didn't aid in his sleep so why bother with it?  :)

I also want this room to be something Baby #2 can grow into, whereas Patrick's needed to be changed around a bit once he hit the toddler stage.  Spend money now to save some later.  So here you have it!

1//  marine deer crib sheet
2//  olive you art
3//  patterned rug
4//  table lamp
5//  citron ampersand pillow
6//  white & gray curtains


Really, my whole design/thought process revolved around a black and white color base, then I found the "Olive You" artwork and fell in love with the teal & bright green as accent colors.  Actually I love the red hearts in it too, so I'll be adding some touches of red in accessories eventually.

I'm quite fond of it!  Seems to fit this crazy kicker baby's personality, and it satisfies a need for some creativity on my end.

By the way, here was Patrick's nursery - all decked out and ready for him to arrive.  I looooooved it.

I'll be back soon for a 26-week update!
