Justin and I are big planners. Despite our short-lived indecisiveness about baby names this time around, we had everything planned out - nursery design and name included - by about 22 weeks. While I totally admire my "Team Green" friends who choose not to learn the sex of their baby until he/she is born, I'm pretty sure we would drive ourselves crazy if we ever went that route. Which brings me to the point of this post: Reid's room is almost done! Since Colin has an "under the sea" themed room, we wanted something different for Reid. We ultimately decided to go with a jungle/safari theme, which I think is coming along quite nicely.
We are putting the finishing touches on it now. Pretty much all that's left is to hang some curtains, stock the closet and dresser with sweet little newborn things, and set up the changing pad. The most recent addition, which I am SO excited to share with you, are Reid's wall letters, which are now hanging above the crib! Drumroll please.....
Aren't they awesome?! These letters, which fit in perfectly with the nursery theme we picked, were hand painted by a dear friend, Corinne, who just happens to make and sell all kinds of amazing pieces in her Etsy shop, Little Reese's Pieces. I'm not exaggerating when I say that if you can think of something, she can do it. Her shop is full of personalized wall letters, paintings, and growth charts, and most recently she has listed some beautiful Christmas pieces, just in time for the holidays. Everything in her shop is customizable, and can be based off of a favorite book's illustrations, a bedding pattern, a color scheme... seriously anything you can think of. Here is one of her original holiday pieces, which I have been drooling over since she posted it on her Facebook page. Isn't it just to die for?
My suggestion? Run, don't walk, to Little Reese's Pieces on Etsy or Facebook and check out Corinne's beautiful work. If you don't see what you're looking for, let her know and she will work with you to create whatever you need to add that perfect touch. To sweeten the deal, use coupon code FREESHIP for free shipping when you place your order. Not too shabby!
I'll post some more "after" photos of Reid's room once we've finished with all the final details. He won't even be sleeping in there for months, but I just can't help myself. At 7 months pregnant, I think I've flung myself head-first into nesting mode!
More to come. ♥
