Okay, so my camera isn't great. Like it's bad. So in order to get my pictures to look somewhat interesting/true to color, I mess with them in my little photo app long enough that I don't even know what I started with. So from one picture to the next you might think we've changed rooms, when in fact it's just me changing the way I change the pictures. Confusing, huh? I'm pretty tricky.

| New rug in Marg's room! I saw a little DIY chevron rug on a blog, and thought I should try it. No- I didn't do it. This baby came straight from Ikea looking so lovely. My brother, who lives minutes from Ikea, picked it up for me (which I requested, it wasn't a gift. He's not that nice. That last part was to test him-- do you read my blog, Isaac?!) |

| And after seeing this on Etsy, I had to embroider it for Margot's room, straight away! I don't know that a quote from Dirty Dancing is the most appropriate thing for a baby's room... but it made me laugh. Nobody puts baby in a corner. |

| I've been checking eBay for these vintage Kasper Wire Works gym baskets, and finally won an auction! Vintage wire baskets are pretty spendy, but the Kasper ones are exceptionally steep. I just thought it would be fun to sport my maiden name on a basket if I could- so I did.:) |

| Now we really are in a different room. I happened to paint Oliver and Gigi's bedroom the day before the birthday party (that's how I roll), and I'm still unsure about the color. The one that I had picked looked awfully dark on the can- when I put in on the walls it was dark and blue. Not what I was going for. So I went to my basement paint store, and found the gray that I had used in the family room. It's a very warm, beige-y gray. I mixed that with a little of the new color, and this is what I got. I don't hate it, but it's not what I had in mind. Oh, that little slip of paper tucked into the mirror frame was inspired by some art I saw on a nursery ideas blog. I couldn't find the source, so I had to copy it right off the computer screen using my mad skills. Isn't it hilarious for a shared bedroom?? |

Thanks, Ise.
