inspiration to reality

So the day after I posted this inspiration post, I came home to find this waiting outside for me!

My mom is where I get all of my creativity from, as you can see. She had all of the components already and just whipped this up. Love it!

inspiration

I still love looking at wedding blogs because sometimes they give you great ideas for home decoration. I am loving these vases and mason jars wrapped in twine.

walmart?

We have had a hard time finding a modern looking crib. We want something white and not too girly or elaborate since we don’t know the gender yet and we aren’t super elaborate people. Try going to babies-r-us and finding something not elaborate. Impossible. (Not that those cribs aren’t lovely, gorgeous even, they just aren’t for us.) So in the midst of this crib dilemma I have spotted a few perfect cribs that are both from… wait for it… Walmart. I know. Walmart.

Not sure if I like the Parklane or the Olivia better, but both will do, and at  under $300 each I would happily take either one!

FLOR

We have been wanting to get some FLOR tiles to replace the rug in the kitchen… I am really liking the idea of creating a custom design by cutting them in half.

If I created the world…

A while back, after seeing this post, a friend of our gave us two old school globes.

Bryan, being a history major and all, was a little against them because they have countries that are no longer correct. So I thought, you know what would be cool? To paint them with chalkboard paint! Seriously guys, I had this thought about 3 days before this chalkboard globe made the rounds! My idea was now confirmed as awesome so this weekend I made it happen.

We might attempt to draw the continents (you can easily see the mountain ranges for a little guidance) but I kind of like the idea of our future children creating their own worlds on there.

I am loving these new sheets from West Elm! (Not to mention the wall color)

However my bedroom still longs for the striped ones.
