Brandon thought it was very funny that I had to go to the trouble of labeling these bins of baby clothes. “Can’t you just open them up and see what sizes are inside,” he asked.
Yes, but this makes me so much happier. ;)

Black and White Mobiles
They may not look like much here, but these mobiles are actually really cool in person.
I bought one of each since they were only $10. I might combine them into one giant mobile… Or take them apart and make a small one for the nursery… Or I can hang one in the stairwell… Or on the front porch…
The Great Green Outdoors
I’ve been thinking about how I’d like to change the front porch, and lately I’m finding myself drawn to all things green. Ideally, I’d like the whole house to be green! That may be a bit out of reach right now, but I can at least use the color in other ways.
Here’s a little roundup of things that have caught my eye…
- Lantern
- MYNTA Hanging Planter
- Ceramic Owl Planter
- Modern Wire Chair
- Olive Egg Planter
- Beachcomber Outdoor Pillow
- Poolside Green Pillow
- MYNTA Plant Pot
- PB Classic Stripe Outdoor Pillow
- Placid Lakeside Planter
- Retro Bullet Planter
- Astro Balls
- LAVARÖ Rug
- Vessel Architectural Pottery S-3 Planter and WS-3 Walnut Stand
- High-Wire Act Chair
The Bedroom, Dressed in White
One nice thing about sleeping my days away lately (pregnancy makes you tired)… when I wake up the room is so light and bright.
With a house full of pattern and color, it’s refreshing to have a calm oasis in the bedroom. We already had white curtains that weren’t being used anywhere, and I bought all of the white bedding (a duvet set, sheet set, and two extra pillowcases) at IKEA for less than $75. The duvet cover isn’t as textured as the pin-tuck set I had wanted, but it was a much more affordable option.
I bought the west elm rug a while back when it was on sale, and I’m so glad I did. It’s so soft and perfect.
I’m sure I’ll end up mixing pattern and color in again eventually, but right now I’m loving my bedroom all dressed in white.
