always on my mind...

a few things that have been on my mind lately:

i want one of these...
they are designed by felt & wire who also carries paper goods. i love calligraphy, and i'm not a huge fan of my own handwriting - it's far from pretty artistic. i think these custom stamps are the perfect solution, and they're gorgeous!

and, no one warned us how hard it would be to choose a baby name!
y'all, i'm struggling.
andrew could have named this little girl weeks ago if i let him. i knew that i was indecisive before pregnancy, but now? over the top. can't even make up my mind about something simple like dinner. don't get me started on the difficult decisions. way too much to think about. for now, our small one is nameless. so much for monogramming anytime soon.

 maybe i'll consult rosie pope about a focus group for names. also, i love her maternity wear. to die for.

but, i am getting a little closer to nursery decisions! never thought in my life that the color pink would be in the running but here are a few possible ideas that i'm working with:

 via (oldschool) urbangraceinteriors
i'm pretty much IN LOVE with a gold crib
and the gold curtain rod is precious
her sweet baby's current nursery, my dream setup, can be seen here


found these at market back in january. i think the classic look for a little girl's room is sweet, too.


 another favorite is the red in the pb kids harlington nursery
i'm not as brave as i was in college... and there's no way mr. b would let me paint the walls red
but i love them
but i'm mostly obsessed with the crib skirt, not so much the bumper pad and sheet option.

i'd like to somehow combine the pb look with this one below

this serena and lily "punch" caught my eye very early on. i think it would look perfect with the gold crib!

 and i think the pink & yellow patterns from rikshaw designs are so sweet!

i'm also a big fan of the framed fabric and artword above the bed

my fabulous mil has volunteered to custom make all of my bedding! she is fabulous. she did all of lillian's and it is beyond gorgeous. we're so blessed!
and isn't she cute with her new grandbaby?

so, i'd love to hear advice on painting an antique crib, the do's & don'ts. i'm pretty much convinced that this baby needs a gold crib, but i know i want to take saftey precautions first.

thank you kindly, hope you're having a great week!
