Back to School Part 1 – First Day of Kindergarten

Presentation1

I, like a lot of parents out there am getting ready to send my little man Holden off to his first day of school.  Summer is winding down, it is getting a little cooler out and we have started to shop for school supplies.  Holden has even been doing his own school count down for the past year, every time we pass it he says “one more year school, one more year”.  Now our countdown is at 3 weeks!  This has inspired me to do a four part series of back to school finds for Kindergarten through to University.  I have found some fantastic and stylish items to outfit your home for the school year!

Fergie and Josh Duhamel’s Baby Boy Nursery Design Concept

Congratulations to Fergie and Josh Duhamel who are expecting their first child… a baby boy who is due any day now!  I have always admired Fergie’s style and thought it would be fun to create a nursery design concept that reflects both parent’s personalities and taste.  Fergie’s talent has always extended beyond her powerful singing voice into the fashion world as a trendsetter and style icon.  Fergie has an incredible way of putting together an outfit full of colour and pattern while adding her own glamorous and edgy flair.  Her love for 1920’s Art Deco fashion and design is apparent in this nursery from the patterns on the crib bedding and window treatments to the art prints and frames chosen.  Pieces from shops Fergie and Josh have been spotted in shopping for baby have been included such as Cisco Home.  Pops of colour charge the room and whimsical accessories such as the dachshund bookends (Fergie and Josh’s first little one is their dachshund) add a little humour.  This nursery is vibrant, edgy and fun… enjoy!

Breaking The Rules

colorful-eclectic-nursery-1Featured on The Little Umbrella

I have found myself being drawn to very eclectic nurseries lately.  When taking a closer look at these nurseries you can see that all of the rules have been thrown out the window and the more you mix it up… the better!  From mixing prints and a variety of colours to mashing together vintage picture frames and layering cushions and crib skirts.  These eclectic nurseries have created truly cozy and unique little spaces chalk full of sentimental touches!
