Wow!!

I caught yet another cold a couple days ago and haven't had a chance to post my giddy like a schoolgirl excitement over all the wonderful comments about littlemama's nursery photos. And I had a big old dorky moment when I found out her photos were featured on a couple of my favorite blogs. Ok, before the energy to post wears off quickly and I go hide under the covers I thought I'd answer a couple of questions.

The paint colors were a huge pain in the butt and took several tries until I got the results I loved. I ended up using Dunn Edwards paint which I'm not sure is available everywhere but you could probably order swatches off their website and have them color matched.

teal blue/green = Treetop (DE 5710)
sage green = Light Pine (DE 5535)

The bookcase & side table are part of the Shabby Chic collection from Target and are surprisingly good quality, especially for the price. Here's a link to the bookcase...I don't see the side table on their site anymore. : (

I got both shag rugs off of Ebay but unfortunately didn't keep track of the seller. The white one is filthy and very hard to keep clean...I'd probably get a different color next time (or something machine washable!)

I'll have to do a couple posts on the artwork in her room. I have so many amazing art prints that I never framed since wall space is minimal in our house.

A few of my favorites:

Camilla Engman

Jeremiah Ketner

Yoshitomo Nara (my all-time favorite) - get prints at Art.com

More Nara - I got lazy at the end and didn't buy the correct sized mat.
(One of these days I'll go back & fix it)

The left is from Urban Outfitters & the right is from Copacetique.
(I am blanking on the artists at the moment, sorry!)
