The baby's room
I've been gathering ideas about what I want little girl's nursery to be like: cheerful, lighthearted, restful when it needs to be, a little Scandinavian, and a delight to the eyes. Here's my inspiration board. I already have the alphabet print and the pendant lamp (given to me for free) and the Pottery Barn bumper and sheets (thanks, mom!), and we're planning on buying the crib and dresser from Ikea.

A while back I finally ordered this West Elm rug I've been eyeing for weeks.
Several weeks ago at the Junior League yard sale, we bought a cute little tufted armchair and a small ottoman with a top that lifts off for storage. I'm having them recovered and I think I've finally decided on the Waverly Pinwheel Parade fabric! I want to trim it in some kind of piping that has aqua and maybe some green in it.
The other day I had to order this Woodland Growth Chart. It's removable, so you can take the pieces off and reposition them as often as you want.
I love these knobs from Anthropologie. Would love to get some for the Ikea dresser. But the question is, should they be hand-painted or the color of sea-glass? Maybe I'll mix them all up together! Hobby Lobby can sometimes be another good source for hardware. I think some of the pieces look contrived, but they usually have a few winners.
And I think these embroidery rings are such a great way to make a lot of impact on the wall without breaking the bank.
