The Mr. and I got a much-needed break from all things nursery this past weekend. We were in Denver and Colorado Springs for a little baby-moon escape and thoroughly enjoyed the time together! (Mr. Dreamer is quite hunky, in case you haven’t noticed. MmHmm.) Anywho, while browsing through some fun home decor shops… we stumbled upon quite the find!
If you’ve been reading the blog lately, you know I am stripe-obsessed. As I’ve already explained, my perfect nursery had light gray and white striped curtains – but I could not find them anywhere, so I compromised with plain old silver curtains. Imagine my extreme joy when we spotted that gorgeous chair. (Especially because we don’t have a nursery chair yet!) If, for just one moment, you can understand how I felt, you’ll understand this next picture even more…
Yeah, so I’m basically cursed when it comes to gray/white stripes. However, I will not be deterred! Have I mentioned yet that I’m an only child? What I want, I will find a way to get. Take, for instance, the little craft project taking up quite a bit of space on my sewing room floor at the moment…
Oh yes, those are STRIPES. Hand-painted. DIY. FREAKING stripes. That, my friends, is the nursery valance – the missing piece before the room makes a debut this coming weekend for baby shower guests. If you were lucky enough to get an invite, you’ll get to see them first-hand first. Otherwise, I’ll be posting after their fantastic debut. Until then, I’m going to have to go and follow my own tutorial and try to remember how to finish this darn thing…
