As much as I love the John Golden prints, I decided to go with the Creative Thursday ones.
Partly because I already have one, this adorable owl print that until now hasn’t had a proper home:

I had feared that the actual image size is too small, and it is a bit tiny, but tiny can be [...]

I think I made a decision about the wall behind the changing table!
I posted before about etsy artist John Golden and his “By order of the management” posters, but he has an adorable “woodland critters” series of prints that I think will look great in Jasper’s nursery:
Here’s a mockup, I think the colors work well.

More pictures over at becoming-home.
Since we decided to put the tree by the crib and not over by the glider, now I’ve got to seriously figure out what to put on the wall behind the glider which is looking a little bare.. a shelf to display cute toys? A print? Wall Letters?

Etsy artist John W. Golden created these By order of the management posters because he got tired of saying the same things over and over again to his kids.. pretty smart right?

Baby Mod Park Lane Crib
It’s actually surprisingly good quality and sturdy. There was a little mishap with confusing sets of screws.. if you accidentally switch the screws that were meant for the metal pieces that hold and adjust the mattress [...]

Jeff put together the remaining drawers last night so I finally got a picture of the Ikea 8 drawer Hemnes all set up and ready to be used as a changing table! I’m so glad we got the larger dresser, it’s really sturdy and will hold so much more stuff!

We also bought the hemnes bedside [...]

I posted some pics over at becoming-home of the nursery painted (finally!)
Here’s one for reference:

The color is Benjamin Moore “Crystal Blue” which is a like a pale robin’s egg blue.  We chose to use the low VOC aura paint which is like $50 a gallon. Then, because it would negate the whole purpose of using [...]

I am totally in love with these vintage wallpaper wall decals by Dutch mom Inke Heiland.. Instant nursery decor!
I think the elephant is my favorite, but unless he makes an early appearance Jasper will be a Leo, so the Lion seems most fitting:

Giraffe, Alligator and Lion available at Sprout Home. Elephant and others available at [...]
