our little house - tour #1

well i showed you all how icky messy our house was. i thought now i would show you some of my favorite aspects of our little home. bub and i have had a love/hate relationship with this small dwelling of ours. as in we hated it the first year and have loved it the second. there are some things that drive me totally nuts about it still - living right behind a major freeway = LOTS of noise, all the time. there is very little closet or storage space. the kitchen has almost zero counter space even though the room itself is oddly large. and our next door neighbors - as in side to side - pretty much stink. things we LOVE about our little home - we love our across the street neighbors! we have awesome hardwood floors. there are lots of windows which let in tons of lovely natural light. bub redid the bathroom last year and now i LOVE it. it's tiny, but lovely.

ok - so here we go. i thought i'd start with nuggie's room. welcome to our home!

ultra girly switch plate cover

i found this sweet switch plate cover at Babies R Us. i saw it and i HAD to have it for her room. when i was first envisioning her nursery, i was thinking lavender and white, white birdies and shabby chic. it's still a work in progress. but this is sort of what started the whole theme.

 i found one of these birdies at a cute little bookstore out in portland, oregon while visiting sisterkins last may. and she then sent me TWO more! they used to hold nugg's attention like none other... these days she's too cool for them :-)

sweet birdie mobile

we received the birdie mobile at our family baby shower from my awesome aunties... so cute!

pics of mommy and daddy

that's me on the left and bub on the right. we're both about 8 months old there. i'd love to add to our collection and gather pictures of all our family at about the same age. 

nuggie's friend board

 here i have a little collection of nuggie's friends. birth announcements and pictures. she's so lucky to have so many wonderful baby friends already!

   my fav!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sweet shannon gave us this piggy as a shower gift. it is one of my most favorite things in all of nuggie's room. it was also one of the most thoughtful gifts we received. she asked what my room theme was and came up with this all on her own. it is EXACTLY what i was trying to accomplish - like i said, it's still a work in progress! it also sparked nuggie's collection of ceramic piggy banks.

the end of nugg's name

this was an end of the pregnancy-i'm-too-big-to-do-ANYTHING project. i painted little wooden letters i found at a craft store and the white flowers are actually meant for scrapbooking. i LOVE this little project. i'm not overly crafty, so this was big for me :-)

there you have it - sweet nuggie's room!
