Check out these great finds! These are animals wrapped in yarn. They would be perfect mounted inside of a frame and hanging on a wall or as an accent on a shelf in a nursery :)

Nursery Accents
On my lunch break I went to Target to pick up a few items, and like any person who enters Target without a list, I ended up finding tons of treasures! Instead of spending money, I've started taking photos of the items and then really evaluating where I would put them. I digress...

Bentley's Nursery
Friends of ours are having a precious baby boy in June to be named Bentley! She asked for some assistance with the nursery, and I all but jumped on the opportunity. The guidance so far is as follows:
- white furniture
- vintage road signs
- blue/grey wall color
Her main focus is to purchase furniture that enhances the room and that can be repurposed in the future. So in lieu of a rocker or glider, she has opted for a leather recliner. Not all of the pieces have been found, but I started an Olioboard anyway!

Inspiration Monday: Layering Patterns
Patterns are just gorgeous! I love how they add movement and dimension to spaces. They can take a neutral design and bring it to life. Some might stop there, but it's not just a pattern that changes a room, it's the layering of patterns. By layering fabrics I don't mean the same pattern in different colors. I actually encourage the mixing and matching of various patterns and colors. Maybe I'm not making sense, so here are some visuals:

Laundry Room Transformation
We've been meaning to stack our washer and dryer to maximize the space we have in our laundry room and FINALLY got around to it this weekend. There is no rhyme or reason for us doing it, it wasn't scheduled, but my hubby certainly made me happy by finally getting it done!
First we stacked the dryer on top of the washer. For some reason that took a little bit, but probably because we A. didn't know what we were doing and B. cleaned everything because it was pretty filthy.
Next up was stacking and Jorge installing the hardware. Make sure the stacking kit you pick suits your machines. NOTE: If you don't research it, it will null and void any warranty you have on your appliances!
Then came the furniture switcharoo! I took the Ikea Expedit piece that was in my craft room and we used it for storage. Right now I notice the clashing of the Ikea white and the machine white, so I may have to spray paint that, BUT this is certainly not our forever home....just trying to make it more functional.
Finally, hubs hung up a piece that would hold all brooms and swiffers and such...three different times! The first looked beautiful, but the door would not close. We forgot to consider the slanted wall.
The second, well hubs was "trying to preserve the door", so he reused all but two holes in the door. While it was a great idea, part of the holder was sticking out and that did not work well with my OCD. Third time is definitely a charm with this project. Now we just need to patch and paint...there is always a project!

House Pandemonium
Our house has been a construction zone ever since we purchased it in 2009. With little Logan on the way, it is no longer an option to have the place a mess, so we are gradually completing projects around the house. At the moment, our main focus is the living room and kitchen.
