Nursery School

6:48 AM

Now that I'm halfway through my pregnancy and we know we're having a boy, John and I are getting started on the nursery. My style definitely leans toward the modern side of the spectrum, and that's not always easy to find for baby goodies! I've got a long way to go on nursery shopping, but I've found a couple of cool things so far...

Check out the unique "bookshelves" on the back wall. I've already gotten a few board books from my mom and the baby hasn't even been born yet. I think a couple of these will prove to be quite handy! Photo via Ohdeeoh.

John really wanted a rocking chair in the room. I searched antique stores high and low looking for a classic, clean-lined rocking chair. Nothing. I did, however, find this simple rocker at Pottery Barn Kids! So, another task down, about a thousand to go!

COLOR!!!

First of all, forgive me. I don't know where I found this photo. If anyone knows, please clue me in.

Second of all, is this vignette not incredibly striking? Normally, I would describe this purple color as "vile", but in this case I really like it. I especially like how the hydrangeas and even some of the books match! Now that is what I call clever!

Apartment Interior in Hong Kong

12:45 AM

Here are some photos of apartment interiors done by HEAD Architecture and Design (via Contemporist).

Great natural lighting in the room with bright, energetic wall colors.

I love big sectionals. I don't have a ton friends and family to fill it up. But I like the idea of sitting in a different part of the sectional every day.

The bamboo floors look stunning and are very eco-friendly.

Nice idea recreating the outdoors indoors with the grass-like rug.

Reminds me of my mattress laying on my apartment floor in college, except the space is about 100 times nicer.

Clear glass enclosure for an over-sized, circular tub...I like A LOT!

The oval, gemstone tiles look spectacular in the shower area.

What girl doesn't love cute desk accessories? If you have to go to that evil place where they hold your paycheck every day*, you might as well make yourself smile with fun thumbtacks and sticky notes. All products are from Girl Of All Work and Knock Knock.

Start off by replacing those plain ol' silver, metal thumbtacks with fabric covered ones. Much prettier. And for those of you needing magnets... you're welcome.

Are you the type of girl who hosts happy hours specifically to rant about your boss? Then maybe this is a little more your style. Slip a copy of US Weekly into one of these folders at your next pointless meeting.

Nice: Cuckoo clock sticky notes on which you can draw clock arms to fill in the time. Naughty: Sticky notes meant for teasing your coworkers (whether they can take the joke or not).

Make sure you take every morsel of information away from that TPS report by flagging the important stuff with pretty page flags. Mark your spot with a magnetic origami bookmark so you can read it at home in bed. Just what you wanted!

* I would be referring to your place of work, not mine. My workplace is a bucket of sunshine and daisies all the time.

I Spy...

I was just reading one of my daily blog reads, Apartment 34, when I spied this beautifully simple nightstand setup! I've never seen anything like that small bookshelf! It's so cool, so simple, so PRACTICAL! If anyone knows where I can procure something like that for myself, chime in!
