Hoity Toity Nursery

When I was planning for the arrival of my twins, Jake & Delaney, I knew that they would share a room for the first few years of their life. I wanted something that was sweet and happy. In all my shopping trips to look for bedding I found this sweet polka dot pattern at Target. The colors were perfectly coordinating for both boys and girls and it set the tone for the entire design.

The sweet pink, blue and green complimented each other so well that I translated the design directly on the walls by alternating blue and pink polka dots above their cribs. Using large pink dots and small blue dots above Delaney's crib and large blue dots and small pink dots above Jake's crib.

The cribs were a great find. After deciding on 2~4 different cribs during the design phase I finally found these fantastic cribs at a local store called Baby Love . Their unique design and slightly distressed finish were the perfect choice! An additional design element to the cribs is that they convert from cribs to toddler beds to full size beds. And at the discounted price of only $199.99 per crib I couldn't pass them up!

The corner unit is a piece I feel really pulled the room together. This was my one splurge from Pottery Barn Kids.

In addition to all of the fantastic furniture I finished the look off by painting the interior of Delaney's closet the same pink used on her walls and Jake's closet the same blue. And by removing the closet doors and hanging curtains it opened up the room and added that much more of a whimsical feel.

What does your nursery look like? Send me a picture and description {HERE} and I'll feature your nursery on Hoity Toity Baby! What better way to help mom's to be? You may have that one design idea they hadn't thought of! And it may be just what their nursery was lacking!

Sleep tight!

Koo & Poppet!

I recently came across a fantastic blog and Etsy store called
koo & poppet.
After the birth of her first baby the designer & owner, Sarah MacNeill, started Koo & Poppet in January 2009.
"One day I made a little bunny for my daughter....and then made a few more, and a few more....and I was getting a lot of positive feedback from friends and colleagues", says Sara {who studied architecture in college and has worked in the design industry in one capacity or another}. "I also have been sewing from a young age.".

Each is created using natural wool {upcycled when possible}.
And the majority of printed cotton is from an seller in Tokyo.

Here are some of my favorites:

{Black Bear ~ Lenore}

{Kollector Koo ~ Pink and cream Pig ~ "Piquette"}

{Cute Bunny ~ Portia}

These little treasures are the perfect addition to a nursery!
And is sure to be your little one's favorite love!
