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.

Two coats and one (sad) USA vs Ghana game later:

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.

To balance out today’s June Gloom I have this bright and cheery nursery to share!  I love the colors, which can easily go from boy to girl with just a few pillow changes for those who keep gender a surprise.

Happy Friday!  Have you seen the summer issue of Lonny yet? Right now I am loving this image of a nursery. That little open air ‘closet’ is such a great idea for families who don’t have an entire extra closet for their little one!

If I had a fireplace, I would do this to it.

Urban Outfitters just added a ton of new stuff, with two of my favorites being the barnacle vase and the pennant bedding.

It is peony time over at Trader Joe’s. Reason 147298473 that I love TJ’s.

I want these sheets. Bad.

I admit to be addicted to the dollar bins at Target. They suck you in with their magical powers, I swear.  And don’t be fooled by the mini toys and candy, there is usually some great stuff stuffed in there.  Three of my purchases today:

(white vase – $1.50)

(galvanized bins – $1.00 each How perfect would these be filled with succulents as a centerpiece for your reception?!)

(8 nautical greeting cards – $1.00)

I can’t wait for the warm days of summer.  April-June is such a tease… 80 degrees one day, raining the next. My succulents are ready. (Hanging box from UO, white pots from Ikea)
