mini

27 weeks

twentyseven weeks marks the beginning of my third trimester. current stats: plus ten pounds and nine inches, belly buttons out, hairs growing like a weed, no marks yet, baby girl’s wiggling all about and giving my ribs a good jostling, i’ll never be able to buy glad odor shield trash bags or walk past au bon pain the same again, nursery’s a work in progress, classes are scheduled and the anxiety that this is really happening is starting to set in (cause you really wanted to know all that)! i have a feeling this miniature is gonna be here before we know it. 

where the cool babes live

the inevitable question i’m asked these days is, what color are you painting the nursery? and when i answer with gray, the snarls begin. what did you expect! there’s no hiding that bold graphic statements have always hit the spot and it’s known my heart has belonged to black for as long as i can remember. i’ve always envisioned a subtle canvas with a sophisticated palette of rich color, pattern and texture for our babes abode. with an obsession for hand crafted projects and the inspiration of the interior photographed above, a scheme unfolded before my very own eyes…gray walls, black graphics, shag rug, red chair, midcentury finds, fuchsia pops, paper mache, garlands, stripes, patterned threads, woven textures, stuffed creatures… just wait and see!

23 weeks

we’ve only just begun and we’re already adding to our clan with a miniature girlie on the way. 23 weeks in and highly anticipated. there’s no telling where this little lady will fit in seeing as mama’s got black locks as opposed to dad’s dirty blonde. up next, a nursery to design..!
