Hello POSHees! Well…I am in the throes of mommyhood and loving every minute (even the 3 am ones because Warner J.’s face is quite precious in the moonlight.)

Anyway, as I said here, we were done with the nursery the week before the fire but I hadn’t quite gotten around to taking pictures so you’re just now seeing a glimpse of my little one’s digs. We didn’t opt to paint again because after all the hard work this summer, being tossed out of our house and the baby due any minute, we found ourselves quite taxed. And frankly, sometimes there are just more important things (a lesson I am getting kicked in the booty with repeatedly now that I’m a mommy.)

The inspiration was to blend a little bit of me (chic) with a little bit of the Mr. (outdoorsy). I originally found the idea on Pinterest then just ran with it. The result was a sweet, modern nursery with all the proper country trimmings. For little Warner J., it felt absolutely perfect.

{Color Palette}

I’ve never been one for super frilly decor or pastels for that matter. With a baby boy on the way, it gave me a chance to really think outside the blue box. The orange and grey felt playful yet sophisticated.

{Warner’s Digs}

It can be tricky when you’ve purchased everything for another space to find a new spot for it in a different room but overall, I was really pleased with how it turned out.

{Tiny Hands}

A little touch I added afterwards, I hung “small” (you know my kid was 9 lb 13 oz right?)  hand and foot prints using these kits.

{Baby’s First Bike}

I know it’ll be awhile before he can ride like the wind but I couldn’t resist this adorable tricycle in just the right colors.

{A Few Personal Touches}

I stocked his bookshelf with lots of love and lots of fun little surprises.

{Something to Grow On}

This little treat came from one of my baby showers thrown by my besties Ash and Kristen. I think it’s a great reminder to always be growing and challenging yourself.

{A Little Love Diddy}

Ken actually sang me this song on my 30th birthday. I included it in the nursery because it says a little about raising your kids right and it has such a special place in my heart. My boy is sure to have his daddy’s love for music.

{Bookworm}

One of my favorite memories as a child is going with my mom to the library and letting me pick out stacks and stacks of books. Warner and I have already started to read together. I can’t wait to enjoy all the old classics with him in my lap.

{Baa}

I snagged this little guy from Homegoods. The minute I saw him, I knew I needed to take him home. Not only does he match perfectly but he’s a good reminder of the Shepherd who cares for each and every one of his flock.

{Lighting the Way}

This used to belong to Tim’s father. Tim was Ken’s brother-in-law and passed away from cancer in 2008. He and Ken were very close. This is a small token of the power of friendship.

{Words to Live By}

I came across this little box at Homegoods as well…I knew it would be a perfect place in which to tuck away some of Ken and I’s favorite verses. We read them to our little man from time to time in hopes he’ll one day write them on his heart.

{‘After’ Family Photo}

The frame for this picture we got from our dear friends, Mike and Lori. They sent it in a care package after the fire and we were so touched, I had to include it in the nursery. The picture as you can see is from our recent family photo shoot.

{Hoot Hoot}

These little fellas are just another beautiful addition. They are gifts from my sister (the little owl) and my cousin and his wife (the big owl). I think it’s just amazing that they both got Warner little owls and they just happen to match the nursery perfectly. Bliss.

{Pillow Talk}

I picked up this on one of those beautiful and whimsical days in the summer. I was walking around downtown with frozen yogurt taking a break from work and happened upon it in a little boutique in Kirkland. Again, I saw it and knew it would be perfect instantly. Don’t you love finds like that?

{Ch-ch-ch-changes}

God bless IKEA. I got this beauty there, picked up some handles and chalk paint at Home Depot and voila! We keep a pad on the top for changing and all this diaper necessities right there in the handy tin.

{The Hunted}

While KP was holding out for a real deer head, I stuck to my guns and opted for this Restoration Hardware version covered in French dictionary pages.

{Rock-a-Bye Baby}

{Through the Barn Doors}

{Furry Friends}

Ah, one of my favorite parts of the nursery! The headboard and crib. KP fashioned the headboard with the help of one Mr. Crozier and the crib I ordered here. The crib skirt I found on Etsy.

{Cozy Carpet}

For one more touch of the outdoors, I brought in a sheepskin rug. It is the softest thing I’ve ever felt and I’m pretty sure the pups think I bought it just for them because they’ve taken a liking to it as well.

{‘Before’ Family Photo}

And here is where it all began. A snapshot of our family of three-to-be.

“First we had each other and then we had you and now we have everything.” XX
