It's a . . . . Boy!!

Today, my sweet friend Lauren and her husband, Jonathan, found out that they are going to be welcoming a baby boy in just a few months.  They had a "revealing" party with their family and very close friends.  Have you ever been to one of these parties?  They are so exciting and at the moment of the announcement, you actually find yourself overcome with emotion, too.  (and it isn't even your baby!)

In honor of the exciting day, I wanted to share with you a few of the nurseries I helped create.  I love to help design baby bedding . . . . I think it is because the possibilites of color combinations and fabric textures are endless.  This also a great opportunity to be completely impractical when deciding what type of fabric to use.  The truth is, there will be "baby accidents" regardless of how nice (or expensive) the fabric is!

COOPER'S ROOM

(aren't the lime green walls fun!!)

  

Cooper's mom, Julie, decided to use lime, black and white for her baby bedding becuase it seemed fairly gender neutral.  I am such a plan ahead kind of girl, how did she wait to find out the gender?!?  This bedding set included a coverlett, bumper, crib skirt and a lumbar pillow for the rocking chair.

ADDISON'S ROOM

(rocker and ottoman are from Room to Dream in Oklahoma City, OK)

Addison's mom, Susannah, decided to use mint green chenille on the inside of the bumpers.  Doesn't that sound amazing . . . . I think I need to make some pillowcases for my bed out of chenille.  This bedding set included a bumper, a toy bag, a lumbar pillow for the rocker and a window valance.

ELLA'S ROOM

(here is the impractical fabric I was referring to earlier)

(ahhhhh, again with the chenille)

This is my daughters baby bedding.  I chose the impractical fabric and yes, she spit up on it even though I asked her not to.  Ella's bedding set included a coverlett, bumper, crib skirt, curtain panel and a sheer cafe curtian.  I also used the same sheer fabric to make a canopy over her crib.

I did not get to make all the bedding for these nurseries, but, here are some pictures of the items I did make.

If you are now misty eyed becasue your baby isn't a baby any longer and you are missing your baby's bedding, I am sorry (and feeling your pain, Ella isn't either).  Oh, but, wasn't it fun to decide what your nursery was going to look like?  On the other hand, if you are like Lauren and at the point in your pregnancy where you are now deciding on the theme or color of your nursery, what a fun time you have ahead of you.  Enjoy every moment of it!!  Congratulations, Lauren and Jonathan!!!
