Photo Vignette

Here is a shot of the photos on map that hangs in our dining room. These are some of my favorites, and I love to look at them every time I walk by.  

 

 

From top: Jacob, Elise and Brad at an icy spring, my parents holding me, Brad and his sister Brandy. The map is an antique showing the St Johns River and the city of Jacksonville, FL from my favorite antique show called Renningers. It takes place today and I am dying to go. It is amazing and happens only 3 times a year. My father and I always go because he is the only one I know that enjoys that sort of thing as much as me. I will photograph the whole map another day.

Jacob's Room Part 2

We are still deciding how to decorate Jacob's room and I am loving these slingshots. Nothing says "boy" like a big slingshot! The paint on these make them so appealing to me, the gold is gorgeous! These are from Hella Slingshots- go check them out!

Sophie's Nursery Part 2

Here are the remaining pictures of Sophie's room!

An old ammo crate that my father made into shelves for me when I was in college. It has been with me in every house since! The "love" is painted driftwood.

I painted these bottles aqua, white and gold and a dear friend made me these crepe flowers that sit inside. 

A little mushroom pincushion from Foxtail Creek Studio, she does amazing work!

A little vintage basket with paper mushrooms.

Vintage thread.

I made the "S" and purchased the print from The Wheatfield.

Well I think that does it! I hope you enjoyed my tour. We can't wait to meet our little sweet girl. We are almost ready for her!

Sophie's Nursery Part 1

Not that pictures of my daughter's nursery really needs two posts, but I guess I went a little picture crazy. Plus I made a couple things for her room that take some extra explaining. The natural light is not great in her room, but hope you enjoy!

Sophie's crib has been in my family for over 60 years. It was given to my father's parents as a gift for their new baby, my Uncle Al and since then, 18 of our babies have had sweet dreams in here including my father, myself and Elise. I love the history and the beautiful hand painted graphics on the side. It has the wear of a treasured heirloom and I feel lucky Sophie will also sleep in it.  

Above her bed is a collaged picture that I made and her mobile is paper mache boats.

The boats were made from this pattern and beautiful inspiration. They hang from driftwood picked up in Costa Rica. They were so fun to make!

An antique mirror picked up at Renningers Antique Fair with a feather garland with a pattern from 100 Layer Cake. I decided to dye the tips of the feathers to make kind of an ombre effect, but it is difficult to see from the pictures. They turned out pretty nice though.

Handpainted sweet babies...

 

More tomorrow!
