Little Baby Boy's nursery - mood board

Now that we know that baby #2 is a little boy, I've been thinking about his future nursery a lot more than before and it's a little bit overwhelming for me.

With Micha's room I had years to dream up every little detail, I actually even made sketches (!), and his nursery is still my favorite room in our home up to this day.

But for little baby boy I haven't really had a strong sense of what I want his nursery to look like.

I want it to be different than Micha's room, the littlest guy needs to feel special too, but I also want to be able to reuse some of the colorful baby gear that looked so cute in Micha's room. 

And how easy would it be if I can reuse all of the little blankets and sheets we used for Micha.

A similar look wouldn't just be practical, it's also a look that I just love so much. 

Not too gender specific, colorful, not too baby-ish, clean and fresh, just the way I like it!

So, while I haven't been making any sketches yet, I have found out that a lot of the images I've been pinning for inspiration lately, have quite a lot in common.

You could summarize the look as: white, bright, colorful, simple, Scandinavian.

We painted one wall in Micha's nursery a chevron pattern and the other walls are blue.

But this time around I think we'll leave the walls white, and maybe paint the ceiling with a fun accent like in image #5.  

An other way of bringing in color is a fun rug like in image #3.

I found the posters (image #2.) at Ikea and think they'll be an awesome starting point for the nursery.

I love the overall feeling of image #1. and the simplicity of image #7.

And of course I'll be making some cute decorations (like in image #4.) to really personalize the room.

I think I've found the look I've been looking for!

Can't wait to get started!

Lately Loving - vol 6. // Pinterest Edition

I've really been getting into Pinterest lately (my account), I have had an account for years but I didn't use it that much.

But lately I've been pinnin' like a crazy woman. 

Here are some of my favorite pins as of late:

This recipe:

Avocado and egg bake

I've eaten it TWICE this week for lunch. It's that good! And so easy.

This D.I.Y:

I have two of those Ikea stools at home, I'll just have to get one more to make this. 

I'm planning on painting some more things in my living room mint, can't wait!

^ ^ ^ ^

This style:

I love this look so much. A simple t-shirt paired with a beautiful flowy pleated skirt and a cute belt to tie it all together. 

I just have no idea where to get a skirt like that. 

I've searched high and low, on the websites of H&M, Zara, Mango and at other stores but so far no dice. 

So frustrating! Help me?

This super cute photo shoot:

I can't wait to try it out with my man!

These chairs:

These would look so good in my home. 

They would match perfectly with the Eames-style rocker in the living room. 

One day they will be mine!

This birthday party inspiration:

Only two-and-a-half months to go and my baby will be one year old (how did that happen??), 

and I'm planning on celebrating it BIG!

 A vintage circus theme sounds perfect to me. (minus the clowns, I despise clowns). 

We'll probably celebrate Micha's birthday at my parents house where we will be spending our summer (they'll be in Benin, so we have the house to ourselves), 

their big back yard will be the perfect scene for the little guys birthday bash.

^ ^ ^ ^

You won't find this nine-and-a-half month old on my pinterest board but he's definitely my favorite inspiration:

So, there you have it, my loves as of late. 

I'm off to have nice weekend with my two favorite guys.

Hope your weekend is fun too!

Love, Maria
