Nursery Design by Michaela Noelle Designs

Today I am thrilled to have Miss Michaela Noelle designing a nursery for baby girl. Michaela's blog was one of the first blogs I started reading and we immediately connected. She has a great eye for design and is honestly one of the most genuine and sweetest girls around.  She has been giving me lost of tips and ideas for baby girls nursery and I love all of them.  I am totally smitten with this mood board she put together!  The rug she featured is the actual rug we have for the nursery and let me tell you its awesome!

I'm so excited to be at Natalie's blog today sharing my design ideas for baby girl Mason's nursery. Sterling is so, so cute, and I can only imagine how beautiful this little girl will be! I'm over the moon excited for N, that she'll get to play dress up and decorate this little one's nursery. Her kiddos are so blessed to have her as their mama.

Okay, onto the nursery design!

Since Natalie is a bit edgy in style, I wanted to keep the room girly and fresh, without looking like your typical "baby" room. Pops of black, lavender, pink and gold will keep the nursery modern, yet playful. For the windows, I'm suggesting Natalie buys these white curtains with a black tassel lining the edge (which she told me she loved!) and sew a 15" panel of the gold fabric (pictured above), to the bottom portion of the drapery panel. This will give the room a burst of gold and another fun geometric pattern, but won't break the bank!

Add in a few stuffed animals and perfectly adorable baby girl clothes, and this sweet thing is ready to come home! Thanks for letting me share this nursery plan with your readers, Natalie!

Obsessions

Happy Thursday y'all. We are having the best time on vacation, seriously my favorite week of the year! I will be back on Monday with some pictures. Today I wanted to pop in with a few of my current obsessions.  Then I have two more fabulous nursery designs for Friday and Saturday!

{GAP LEOPARD BABY DRESS} 

Right now Gap is having their huge baby and kids sale up to 40% off everything.  There are some fab deals but this little number stole my heart.  I picture my little girl in this leopard dress with tights and booties next Fall.  Major.

{FREE PEOPLE TELL TALE DRESS}

This dress looks so comfy and totally conducive for a pregnant belly.  I love that they paired it with my Rag and Bone Booties it is practically screaming for me to buy it.  A great casual Fall Dress.  I love that the scalloped hem line steps up a plain tee shirt dress and makes it more feminine.

{REBECCA TAYLOR HIBISCUS BLOUSE}

This blouse is such a steal at 70% off.  I can't believe its still in stock.  I love Rebecca Taylor blouses so much.  They are always so feminine and so flattering.  You could easily wear this one into Fall with skinny jeans and leather coat or draped sweater.  I love the colors they are so bright and fresh.

{BB DAKOTA KENYA DRESS}

Is this not the perfect little black dress??  and it is only $58.  You could wear this for so many occasions.

{ASOS SWEATER DRESS}

I am loving this rich red color for Fall and love the loose relaxed fit of this dress.   Great paired with booties.

{GAP POINT TOE COLOR BLOCK FLATS}

I featured the leopard Gap flats last week and then saw these and love them just as much.  They come in four gorgeous colors for Fall and are such a fab price.

{HIVE AND HONEY MARGO SLOUCH PANTS}

I am not sure I could pull these pants off but I kind of want to try.  I keep seeing this style pants everywhere.  They look so comfy and chic at the same time.  You could dress them up or wear them causally with a tee and flip flips for running errands.   They look just like these Joie slouch pants but for a fraction of the price.

{RORY BECCA OVERSIZED CAPE}

I am convinced I need a cape for Fall and this one is top of my list.   It would go with everything and I love the slight herringbone pattern. 

Nursery Design by Hanging With The Hewitts

Hey Friends.  I hope you are enjoying the nursery series this week, I know I am loving it.  I will be back tomorrow with a fun obsessions post and then have one more fab nursery design on Friday.  Today I am thrilled to have one of my best friends guest posting.  Caycee and I have been friends since before I got pregnant with Sterling.  It has been so fun to watch our boys grow up together and be such good friends and I can't wait to watch our little girls together- although lord I am scared of the trouble they will get in if they are anything like their Mamas!  Caycee's nursery design is just gorgeous!

.............................................................................. 

Hello Designer Bags and Dirty Diapers lovers! It's Caycee from Hanging with the Hewitts. I am dropping in while my girl Natalie is soaking up the last days of summer on vacay.

You know the two of us are like sisters, so don't think I won't drive down and crash her vacation! No really I might :) Now onto the reason I am here today. To show baby girl Mason some nursery love. To say that I am crazy over the moon excited about this precious girl arriving would be an understatement. I can not wait to watch our sweet girls grow up together, and hopefully have the friendship that Natalie and I share. Alright enough with the mushiness lets talk nursery design.

Nursery Design by Look Linger Love

Today I am super excited to have my real life friend, Chassity Evans,  creating a space for baby girl.  We connected a few years ago through our blogs and have been good friends ever since.   If you follow her blog Look Linger Love you know she has some amazing style. Her house is off the hook good y'all.  She has great taste and can really put a room together.  And her daughter Lily is the best dressed little girl around, I hope she is going to pass some old clothes baby girl's way or at least share some style tips with my daughter:)  I had no doubt Chassity would create something I would absolutely be in love with.  This space is perfection!

 Hi Everyone! I'm so so so happy to be here today talking about Natalie's Baby Girl. I love her already and I haven't even officially met her. How lucky she will be to have Sterling as a big bro (I mean, imagine all the good looking friends he will have). Sorry Natalie and Matt.

   Anyway, thanks for inviting me to design a nursery board for your little gal, Natalie. I hope you like it!

So some of you might know how much I love The Land of Nod. And I really love the new DucDuc line they just released. Such a good looking modern line.They also have a great collection of toys and things - especially Jess Brown dolls. Lilly has one that she LOVES.

That Marmont Pendant is a really versatile light - I have it in my powder room and a friend of mine has it in her hallway. Oh and that stripe rug is pretty great too - reminds me a lot of the Madeline Weinrib rug that's so popular. And you might have noticed that a chair is missing in the moldboard. I couldn't fit it in at the end but I highly recommend this Joya Rocker that we have in Fletcher's room. I love it for it's small shape and good looks. It has a nice smooth rock to it. I love this white leather version, too.

And because I'm getting this post to Nat super late and figure I outta go above and beyond for this guest post, I thought I'd throw in a few fun extras that I think Baby Girl Mason would love.

neon stars sleep sack, hooded towel, striped one piece

striped baby booties, jellycat ostrich, polka dot baby booties

noodle & boo set, tane baby leggings, baby journal

Just like how you can't have enough comfy onesies, nor can you have enough little booties. And have you smelled Noodle & Boo products before? They are intoxicatingly good. And we have a jellycat cow and I bet it's the softest stuffed animal we have in our house.

Can't wait to meet baby girl!

Nursery Design by Comfy Cozy Couture

To kick off our Nursery Design Series, I asked my blogging friend Dominque from Comy Cozy Couture to create a mood board for Baby girl.  I still can't believe we have not met in person yet- we are going to make that happen next time I am in Charlotte for real!!  Dominque has insane taste and can find an amazing bargain like no other.  Every score she instagrams I wish it was mine.  I knew she would create something very pretty for baby girl:)

Hi...Dominique here from Comfy Cozy Couture! I was so thrilled when Natalie asked me to create a nursery for baby Mason #2. She is one of my favorite bloggers and the most stylish mama to be, right?! I knew she wanted lavender + gray in her little girl's nursery so that was my inspiration for the design! Thanks Natalie for having me over!

Weekend Style Files: Fall Budget Buys Under $100

I love Fall. I get so excited about shopping for my Fall wardrobe. While I do like to invest in some nice pieces, it is fun to find some budget pieces to mix in. I rounded up a few of my Fall favorites all for under $100- except the Leopard Jacket it is $128, but I had to include it, its pretty darn fabulous. I own the BB Dakota Jace Cut-Out Back Dress in the green and it is amazing- anyone pregnant it will totally work while pregnant and after.   Such a steal for the price.  It looks great paired with booties and a leather jacket.

Happy Saturday!
 

Project Nursery Update

 I am having the best time putting together baby girl's nursery.  There is something so fun about decorating a child's room.  While I am on vacation next week I have asked some of my favorite bloggers and friends and to compile mood boards for Baby Mason's Nursery.  I can't wait to see what they put together, I know it will be fabulous!  Hopefully some of you preggo ladies can gain some inspiration from their designs!

In the meantime I thought I would share some of the progress we have made on the nursery and few fun things we have bought to accessorize with.

This is our main artwork for the nursery that my sister gave us.  It is a huge abstract painting and the colors go perfectly with what I am envisioning.  The lamp and elephant were from Sterling's nursery, it is always nice to reuse things when you can and save money.

The wooden piece underneath was a piece of furniture I picked out from my grandfather's house after he passed away.   It is so special to me.  It will be the changing table. The stuff sitting on top of it is not staying there, we just set it there til we are ready to finalize the room.

I found the brass tray at Target and it is amazing.  I highly recommend for any room in your house.  I am going to use it to sit lotion and wipes etc on for the changing table.

[ THRESHOLD GOLD SNAKESKIN EMBOSSED TRAY]

 I also found this fabulous gold side table from Target that I plan to use beside our rocking chair.  That way I can set a drink or book on it while I nurse or rock the baby.

[THRESHOLD GOLD TABLE]

This mirror I snagged at Homegoods will most likely hang above the changing table.

I selected this Waverly fabric, Seeing Spots Noir,  for our rocking chair.   The rocking chair was my great mothers that we also used in Sterling's nursery and we are just recovering it.

 You might remember our rug from Lulu and Georgia I showed a few weeks ago.  I am so excited about it, it is such a fabulous rug.  This weekend Lulu and Georgia is having a Labor Day sale and you get 25% off anything you order.  Use code LABORDAY25 when you check out.

[LULU AND GEORGIA INK DYE RUG]

I picked up these Serena and Lily Baskets for storage in the nursery.  They are even better in person than I thought they would be.

[SERENA AND LILY ROUND BELLY BASKETS]

We are using this Biscuit Home Crib Sheet with lilac dots.

[KATIE CRIB SHEET]

 And this West Elm Mongolian Lamb Pillow will either go on rocking chair or crib.

[WEST ELM MONGOLIAN LAMB PILLOW]

All I really have left to do is select curtains, a few other pieces of artwork, and find a light fixture.  I also need brass pulls for our white dresser- any suggestions where to find cool brass pulls?

I am debating between these two Lulu and Georgia Light Fixtures.  I really like them both just not sure what will look best in the space.

[RIHANNON LAMP | LYRA LAMP]

And I had to share to an adorable outfit I snagged for baby girl on major sale at GAP, because what nursery is complete without a well stocked closet??  I just adore the little pom-poms on this.  You can get additional 15% off your order at GAP with code GAPNEW

Have a fabulous weekend!  I am off to pack and get ready for vacay!
