times they are a changing

This has been Finlay's bed for the last (almost) eight months. When I found this bassinet on Gilt for $269 last summer (instead of its usual $399 price tag), I was immediately sold! I knew it would spend a good deal of time in our bedroom, so I wanted something pretty to look at and not plastic or covered with pastel teddy bears. Jay said it was a waste of money and she'd only use it for a few weeks. Ha! I really only thought she'd spend four of five months in it, but Declan seemed content in his crib. So we decided not to mess with a good thing. But as she inches closer and closer to Cariboo's recommended twenty two pound weight restriction, we decided to bite the bullet and move her to a big crib. So Saturday night was the big night! She looks so small in a normal size crib. It's hard to imagine that the other kids were in one from the time they came home from the hospital. The crib was the last thing to go in Finlay's room, so here's the room all put together:










Here's the happy girl in her new bed:

  2. So sweet. Amanda and I were just looking at those letters at Urban. I thought it would be fun to fill them with something for our dresser top. Just not sure what. What is that lovey thing hanging above the chair? I absolutely adore it.

  3. Thanks!!! The thing above the chair is actually paper flower poufs and paper lanterns from Michael's (both Martha Stewart) that I attached to a large embroidery hoop and hung from the ceiling. I saw the idea on Ohdeedoh in someone's nursery and thought it was so cute!
