Babies Babies Babies

First it was weddings, now it's babies that we have on our mind.  You know that saying:  First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage!  Don't get too excited - none of the Glossy Flossy's are having a baby, but we know people who are having beautiful bundles of joy.  

I remember the early days of bringing home a baby to lots of tears and confusion.  That was me, not the baby.  What most mommys don't realize till they're home alone is you are no longer in control of your days or nights.  Everything revolves around something about the size of a football that can't articulate their needs or wants without wailing them out.  

I think every Mom and baby need an "Oasis of Calm and Peace" for those moments when you're so tired you can't see or think straight - both you and the baby.  

This first nursery is a breath of fresh air.  I feel calm, peaceful and happy just looking at it.

This nursery is very sophisticated, anything with a zebra print and hot air balloon is okay with me.

Love the Tiffany blue walls of this nursery.  I feel calm and cherished just looking at this picture.

This nursery is so cute in tan.  You could use any accent color to change this up.

That should get you started on some baby zen nurseries.

Dress This Mess > Baby Nursery Wall Decor

Happy Hallooooweeeen Everyone - Yup, today is the day your kids have been waiting for.  That's all they'll be thinking of is candy, candy, candy.  Here at the Glossy Flossy's we have our eye on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas - that's right I'm a cyclops, but just for today cause it's Halloween.  
While keeping my eye on those three things I'm helping another Mrs. Glossy Flossy with a baby shower she is showering a friend with.  Yes, you heard me, there is another Mrs. Glossy Flossy who is talented and looooves to entertain, and yes it apparently is the year for babies.  
Remember the shower the future Mrs. 2Wicked gave for her sister and I said I would show you the wall decor that we made for the nursery - well here it is.

The inspiration for these silhouettes was the fabric that I spoke of before that I don't have a pic of and again it is 6am so no one is going to take a pic for me (I might get more organized at some point - but today is not the day.)  FM2W actually did all the work on these, I only provided technical support.

We picked out scrapbook paper that went with the nursery decor made by FM2W's momma, then found images of safari animals on the internet and sized them to fit the IKEA frames.  Printed silhouettes of animals out and FM2W traced it onto the scrapbook paper and cut them out.  The ostrich is actually scanned from the fabric used in the nursery.  A large frame with a large silhouette makes quite the impact. They turned out great and the possibilities are endless.  If your nursery theme is planes, trains, and automobiles you could use those silhouettes or how about cowboys, horses and steers.  For girls how about ballerinas and ...., I've got nothing else.  I don't have any girl grandbabies and I can't think of anything except boy stuff.


Note:  Photographing frames with glass is tricky and beyond our capabilities so we had to have FM2W's momma photograph them (she also photographed the shower.)  A big thanks goes out to her.  My suggestion is to photograph without the glass in the frame.
