Remember this post I did sharing Gracie's little space in the corner of our bedroom? Well, it turns out that allowing an 8 month old that already has a tendency to wake up and want to rock at all hours of the night to sleep in a room with a mother that works nights is not such a fabulous idea after all. And I've got the dark eye circles to prove it.
So back into the spare bedroom she went, and it is now Londerpants that sleeps next to me at night...all night, which I'm so very thankful for. :) And for London, making the space a little more boyish wasn't bad at all...a little tricky folding to hide the pink on the blanket, a couple vintage advertisements for trains above his head and he was good to go. Gracie, on the other hand is about to get the nursery make-over of a lifetime.
But before I can dig fully into her room aside from cleaning it, I am on a major hunt for amazing inspiration. I know that I want it to be girly and handmade and vintage, but aside from that I'm keeping an open mind and trying to pull ideas from all kinds of different places in hopes of making hers the coolest nursery ever.
So today i got my Etsy on to begin my search, and I thought it would be fun to take you all on the ride with me. So here's what's inspiring me right now in the land of handmade and fabulous for sale:
1. Holy Mobile Cuteness!! I wasn't even thinking of her having a mobile until I saw these sweet little goodies from Pink Perch.
2. I love this photo print so so much...I feel like the artist has captured the look, the feel and the very scent of childhood in one photograph.

3.Crib Bumpers...something SO important to a crazy baby that shows no fear...and one that looks this good makes me drool. No really. Her stuff makes me want to buy everything she has to offer. You should check it out for yourself! (Source: Aunt Bucky)
4. I pretty much love this tree decal from WowWall if i could get it in another color so that it would stand out against the white walls in Gracie's room:
4. And i feel like she needs lots of great pillows with cool prints:
And finally, I love love love these pillows by Plonka Home:
And that, my friends...is why this girl doesn't want to sleep until the decorating is done. There are so many amazing, diverse things out there that sometimes it makes me think that the whole decorating proecess would go faster without me ever looking online for inspiration...because once I start I can't stop! But I'm not going to lie, I have no regrets. None at all. Because I can't wait to try out some of my Etsy picks!
Which ones are your favorites? Or better yet, do you have any to share that I DIDN'T post? Because I would really love that!
i love it all cheryl! i'm sure whatever you do will be amazing!

Ack! Great finds! I especially love the mobile, the bumper and the tree. Do you think that tree would work in a baby boys room?? ;-)

But my country as if is also I is unable to change. When I to the late in life year, have been entertaining the last hope diligently, I decided that only changes the human who my family, I am intimate with
