25 Weeks - Making Progress on the Nursery

BABY BOO IS 25 WEEKS ALONG, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A CAULIFLOWER
BRAIN TISSUE AND NEURONS ARE GROWING FAST!


We are making some progress on Boo's nursery and I'm loving how it's coming along!  I hope he loves his eclectic, colorful nursery as much a I do.  First up, we ordered that huge 8ftx10ft colorful rug off of Amazon for an amazing deal!  First I found it at Target for about $350, which was a great deal to begin with, but then I decided to check Amazon before ordering... I'm so glad I did!  They had the same one listed for $189!!!  Rugs are so expensive, especially large ones, so I had resigned myself to the fact that we'd probably have to shell out upwards of $800 or more for a cute one.  Nope!  And with our Amazon Prime subscription it was at our house in 2 days with free shipping whoop whoop!!  


Then the other day I found those pretty curtains at Target.  I love the ombre effect and fun orangey-coral color.  I was stuck on what to do for curtains, but when I saw those I knew they were perfect.  I've also ordered a super comfy upholstered glider and ottoman from Buy Buy Baby, but they probably won't be here til around the time Boo is born!  Hopefully they arrive before he does but if not, oh well.  I didn't realize there would be such a long manufacturing and shipping time frame.  It's similar to this one but solid green, not patterned, and comes with a matching gliding ottoman.


And last but not least, I found the most adorable print shop on Etsy, Kindertype.  The artist, Rachel, creates charming and whimsical graphic prints for kids rooms.  


I LOVED her style and her adorable Hot Air Balloon print, so I contacted her about creating an airplane print that could coordinate with the balloon.  We want to include as many aviation details in the room as we can, but almost every airplane print I found wasn't what I wanted.  But I knew if she created one I would love it.  Well she was totally receptive to the idea and created a darling set, which we will order in the Orange and Blue colorway above.  She has been so lovely to work with, and her work is amazing, so if anyone out there is looking for fantastic wall art for your little one's room be sure to check out Kindertype :)
