Gemma's nursery

We're moving again! Surprise! Surprise! (Yeah right you're not surprised.) We're moving to London Ontario in a few months due to Vince's job. It's good and bad, good to be closer to my Grandpas and Aunts but sucky to further away from my parents and Ryan, Britt and Will.

Now that the surprise is out of the way lets snoop in Gemma's room shall we? First off you must know that Gemma's room is tiny tiny and also has the only closet in the whole house but we were making it work. I say that in the past tense because as of a few days ago I bought a ridiculously XXL swing online after trying EVERYTHING to help her sleep. Well it arrived and is sitting smack dab in the middle of her room. You actually can't walk around it you have to shimmy. :(

Annnnnnnyways.

You might remember the post I made back when I was pregnant and sleeping like a normal person and basically in lala land. Here it is. So yes we did end up purchasing that print and using my wedding veil in the design and I'm so happy with the end result. It's all peachy pink and grey. When we were at Fabricland picking out the fabrics my Mom asked me ever so nicely if I might ever considering picking any other colour palette or will I forever be choosing peachy pink and grey.
I let her down nicely. ;)

Sunny welcomes you into her sister's room

Mom custom made all the crib fabrics and window coverings. Can you believe her?

See that little clown and puppy pillow? Mom used a silk scarf that
Vince painted when he was a little boy to cover it.

I think Gemma loves her mobile and crib. Too bad she never sleeps in there!

The Gallery wall

I found the paper mobile on you guessed it, Etsy!

Of course I wanted one of those $900.00 modern upholstered grey looking gliders but I live in reality so instead we bought this one for $100.00 second hand.

A few of Gemma's books came from Mamie and Papy in France. See the Popi one up there?
Vince used to read that when he was a little guy.

So there you have it, a peak inside Gemma's little nursery which we will have to pack up and
set up in a new house soon. :(

Bump update and Nursery design

Hi lovelies! I saw my midwife yesterday and she said everything is going great other than my placenta is low lying (otherwise known as placenta praevia) and the babes is in a posterior position. But her heart rate is strong and all the measurments are perfect. I haven't felt much movement in there and that's a little worrisome at 21 weeks but I am trying to be patient and positive! ;)

So why not plan her nursery colours I say! I've based everything on this print I found of the Paris metro on Art 20X200.

.....and my gorgeous Pronovias wedding veil. We plan to drape it above the crib. It's the most beautiful soft tulle you have ever laid eyes on. I just can't wait to see it hanging there!

So what do you think kids? Yay or Nay?

An Orange Obsession

My comfy orange jersey skirt from H&M

Gucci Orange from Popsugar

So I just realized the other day that I am surrounding my self with orange! I can't get enough. I have always loved the orange/grey colour combo but looking around our apartment I seem to have taken that love to a new level with the exception of the headboard and Gucci dress of course! But man wouldn't I love to have those as well!

What about you? Any colour or combo you are loving these days?

Love and Hugs

Oh Baby!

I wonder if I ever have a baby boy and he comes out looking like an little old man professor he might like to sleep in this crib with these cool dude sheets? Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Thanks The Boo and The Boy for finding this!

Welcome Home!

Goodmorning guys! I wanted to share with you our new second home in Buenos Aires! Check it out! Do you love it as much as I do? I found it at Mixr thanks to Erin at Design for Mankind.

Alright the jig is up! So we don't really own this house! But maybe someday we will have something like it!

OMGosh I need to buy a house....
