While we were in Utah last weekend....

A picnic up the canyon....

ahhhh..... soaking up some fresh air in double-digit weather.

They kill me

Some of my favorite boy room inspiration

I like a lot of these elements.... but it's a bummer--- none of these are even perfect to me. I know I like feminine decor, since there are like a BILLION perfect girl rooms to me. I really don't want him to have a girly nursery... and Joe, I know you won't let it go unnoticed when you come for his birth, now that you've made it clear they're ALL girly!

Maybe I'll just pretend I don't know what I'm having and justify a "neutral" nursery---- I'm just not feeling lots of dark wood and sports.

Can't I just avoid pink and call it good?

This boy stuff is hard!

Opinions?

I know they all look almost the same. But humor me.



So the first nursery idea...that I posted a few weeks ago, is it too girly? Is the coral rug girly? If so, not sure if some of these are better or worse, but here are a couple of other variations. Mostly just the rug changes... but I think it's sort of a prominent thing. What's your favorite!?

Oh and other changes? This is a picture of the oeuf crib which is WAY out of my price range, but I'm thinking this crib from Walmart might work... (thank you anonymous commenter that pointed me in that direction!) It's not perfect, the bottom might be a little too cherry.... but I figure, worse case, I can paint it. I'd have used it in the idea board, but every photo of it online comes with that bedding. No thanks.

Other additions?

Sleepy dog pillow

rocking moose (expensive one in idea board, here's the cheap one I'd buy from ikea and paint)

zebra rug

gray animal print rug

chevron rug

nate berkus chevron rug

More of the Wedding...

Back From Utah

We're back! I think we made about a dozen stops each way with mine and Mila's bladder situations (mine being squished by a baby, hers--- I don't know... I guess I've never noticed how MANY times a day she pees.... is it because she's relatively newly potty trained? AWful. )

But besides that--- a fast, but super FUN trip. There's nothing like being with extended family under one roof. Many more photos to come.

Good to be home.

A Wedding

This was the most challenging experience I've had so far with photography... I'll be sharing the story later. Check out more photos on the other blog.

Speaking of wedding, we're off to Utah tomorrow for Ross' little brother, Jared's wedding! See ya--
