bedroom blues...

Lately the bedroom has just not been doing it for me. I don't know if it is the creaky old mattress or the lack of sleep from almost entering my 3rd trimester (!!!) but it is seriously lacking something for me.  The walls are a tanish brown (Wilmington Tan to be exact - I love when I can remember a fun paint color) and below is our bedding.  I love the paisley and the colors. But it needs something. Some pop somewhere...I love mixing patterns but I think this one is overtaking me and I don't know what to do.  I need to bring in something. But what?

 I love purple in a room. Reminds me of my college bedroom.

Lace bedding overlay for some umfff.

I think the ceiling is doing it for me here. Def not the chandy...

Score!

Just scored these for the nursery....what a steal! (Go to Zulily for all tings baby and 'discounted')

SO excited to frame and hang these cuties!

I know this blog is being taken over by baby stuff. So difficult not to, it consumes me these days!  

So in other worldly news, my dear friend Heather showed me this amazing video on Saturday and we tried it on her hair - and it came out great!  I highly recommend for those long haired locks...Makes me wish I hadn't chopped mine off! And I just love this chicks accent. Where does YT find these people? Gooo Sock Bun!

Pin Love.

I would love to add something like this to the nursery...Just need some good lyrics.

Another lovely online magazine.

Please go. Run and check out the latest issue from House of Fifty.  I have no idea what the title of the magazine is about.  But there were more articles that I enjoyed in that mag than I have read in a while.  Seriously helpful things about curtains and entertaining and decorating from scratch.  I ain't gonna lie to ya. Read on.

First Birthday of my favorite one so far...

Today you turn 1 year old. A whole year has gone by since I showed up on that hospital floor not even a couple of hours after you were born.  What felt like an eternity since we were so excited to meet you and what now seems 2 minutes since your mama was still barely coherent.  She handed you to me before either of your other 2 grandmas! {Now, in my opinion that was completely inappropriate}. But you had my heart at first glance.  Until your best friend Owen comes along, I won't know how much it means to love a child of my own, but having you in my life has taught me a lot. Your face lights up so many peoples hearts and so many people think you are just the best kid ever. And I am one of them, and will always be. I can't wait to see you celebrate your first birthday and dive into that big cupcake your mama has made for you with such love and care. Be smart and sweet Wade Hefner. To many many more birthdays to come.

Love, Abby
