Pretty Paper {Nursery Design}


Curating a nursery is by far one of the most exciting tasks when planning for baby. Any chance to play with color, texture & lines – I’m a happy Mama. An added bonus: layer on as much whimsy and playful detail as necessary.

But what I appreciate about nursery design today is the shift from traditional “baby” decor towards smart design, and long-lasting pieces that will take you far beyond the baby years. Let’s face it, baby deserves good design too.

It can all start with some pretty papers. Here’s a line I love so much by Bartsh.  

Big & Little {Coastal Mint}

Three fresh looks for mom & baby in this season’s color-of-the moment: mint.

 

We love the delicate wash of color in each, 

and how perfect they are for an easy coastal summer.

Ice Cream Happened!


Ice Cream Happened! Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed ice cream with us on Sunday! MoPa delivered Cold Stone ice cream in style with our little red vintage ice cream truck… Needless to say, everyone had an ice cream smile all over town. We always knew the ice cream man had a great gig… It was so much fun. Thank you Cold Stone Creamery & Franchise Studios

 

 

Color Crush {Navy Swoon}


This week Pinterest sent waves of Navy across our board. We found ourselves swept away even though 2012 is clearly the year of pastels. We’d like to Navy is never wrong – especially in New England. Dive in!
