What it's all about

yes!

so the baby nursery is so not nursery like, and everyone always asks me what our "theme" is.

i don't know what the theme is, i mean there's a really cool vintage world map in there, and big bookshelves i scored off craigs list, and those awesome gustav klimt paintings i framed.  it looks really cool and old worldy. like a yummy vintage study. and that's what we were going for.  but i don't think yummy vintage study is widely accepted in the world of baby nursery themes.

we have plans to put heavy curtains in front of the bookcases and mom is going to make a matching crib bumper and skirt, but it's guaranteed to be a cool fabric i find at the outlet fabric store and not anything babyish.  and we're excited about that and we don't want babyish.  but i have run into a problem with one particular area.

crib mobiles.

i thought it would be cool to maybe make something, because the crib mobiles you see in the store are either super babyish (like  or part of a matchy matchy nursery set.  it's been hard to find anything that would work in our little guy's room.  and then i found this:


woodland creatures?! YES! YES!

the etsy artist custom makes them to order!  i think these little dudes would be perfect for our little dude.  and it's super gender neutral so we can use it over again for sure!

this is on baby's christmas list.  he told me.

You don't need to comply to worldly ideas. What you guys like is what matters and the baby will know no difference. I love the Mobile. PERFECT!!
