Nursery Source List - Part One

Oooooh weeeee I was able to get a few hours of sleep last night (in a row!) so I think I'll be able to put together a coherent post today. :)

First I want to thank each and every one of you who took the time to leave a comment about Little Ninja's nursery. I even had some long time readers leave their very first comment! Let me tell you it sure made this girl feel good. Even though you're going to think I'm a super-dork I'll let you in on a little secret. While I've sat and fed Little Man I've gone back a bunch of times to reread all of the super sweet comments. Dorky part coming up: the crazy hormones got me all teary every time I went back and read them.

{Those of you who said I should do the decorating thing for a living - I copied your comments and put them on the fridge for Alex so he'll think it's a good idea if I never go back to work. Muhahaha!}{Just kidding I didn't do that.}{But I want to.}

Annnnnnd, moving on..... ;)

I thought I would do a few posts sharing where I found all of the elements in the nursery. If you have any questions or I missed something please ask in the comments, k?

So, we'll start with the cozy corner.

The rug is probably one of my favourite things in the room. It fits perfectly in the centre of the room and adds so much texture and warmth. I ordered it from Pottery Barn. It's the 6' Round Jute Rug in Natural.

The chair is from Ikea. It's small enough to fit in the tiny room but not too small to fit me and the little guy for a late night feeding. It's the Extorp Jennylund armchair in white.

The floor lamp was one of those awesome Homesense finds. I found that the shape of the shade was kind of industrial looking and would fit well in a boy's room. 

The two pillows I made. The pillow forms were from Fabricland. I cut up a Debbie Travis shower curtain from Canadian Tire for the striped fabric and the white linen fabric was from a Pier One curtain panel that I shrunk by accident. I wrote a post about how I made the small car cushion here.

On the windows are some bamboo roller shades from Linens N' Things that we installed a few years ago. I added only one curtain panel per window. I found the sheerest white linen panels that I could find from Crate and Barrel. I'll admit that they were way expensive to buy and ship here but I knew they would be a good investment as I can use them in any other room if I want to switch them out down the road. The pewter curtain rod is from Lowe's and made by Allen and Roth. I actually only used one big rod since I only needed the two finials showing. (The plain rod goes right up to each wall and is covered by each curtain.) Alex did need to cut the metal rods to the length we needed though.

Don't you just love these star map garlands from Maisy and Alice on Etsy? At first I ordered one to string horizontally on the wall over the crib but it looked so cute hanging vertically from one of the curtain rods that I went back and ordered a second one so I could hang a garland in front of each window.

I'll have to leave the rest of the room details to a few separate future posts since I typed this whole thing with only one hand (baby in the other arm). (I'm trying to multi-task.)

:)

Check on back over the next few days if you'd like read more about the nursery.

P.S. I like you.

P.S.S. I slept on my stomach last night (even despite the creepy, jiggly Buddha belly that I've got goin' on) and it was AWESOME!
