Here's the problem... Do you know how hard it is to find all white crib bedding? Harder than I thought. I found some bedding that was all white but lacey :-( and my favorite go to place, Pottery Barn, only carries it with scalloped edges of light pink or blue. While it's pretty, it's not quite what I was looking for.
I wanted something a little less modern and a little more timeless..
Then.. I happened upon a post from one of my FAVORITE blogs Pearls and Grace (a must read if you need a dose of God's simple goodness), in which her son is attached to, of all things, a beautiful white linen crib bumper.
Once I saw it, I knew I wanted it. So after contacting sweet Sibi, she informed me that bumper came from Pom Pom. She also warned me to brace myself.
Her warning was needed... They have a beautiful collection of timeless linens.. I found that Oh, Baby! here in Baton Rouge carries their line. So my sweet Lane brought me to the boutique to lift my spirits on a trying day.
And, boy, did it lift my spirits... Walking in the door, we were surrounded by the most beautiful baby and children's things I had ever seen. The softest blankets, the most precious linen gowns, beautiful crib bedding, timeless Moses baskets, and the most comfortable chair. They even had a smocked bumper and crib bedding set! This southern girl was in HEAVEN!
And there it was.. in a corner.. the Pom Pom linen bedding. Now it was BEAUTIFUL... so you could imagine, the price was not. Despite, the "priceyness" of the sweet boutique, I walked around and was truly inspired.
Lane and Jude set in the most comfy chair while I shopped. It was the neatest thing. A comfy, cushiony chair that glided, swiveled, and reclined! It was perfect, but once again, it's $1200 price tag was not so great.
Later that night, after an inspiration HIGH, I began to search online for more nursery inspiration.
I found it.
My new favorite online boutique.
Layla Grayce
This boutique is literally PACKED with beautiful retailers such as my beloved Pom Pom, Bella Notte, Lula Smith, and several others.
I found some really gorgeous ideas for Sweet Pea's room.
Isn't this bumper by Bella Notte GORGEOUS.. of course if Sweet Pea turns out to be a girl ;-)
And I just love this flowing crib skirt by Lula Smith!
Lula Smith just keeps winning with her gorgeous bassinet bedding and Moses basket!
For a more casual look, I would just love, love, love this crib by Newport Cottages in a cream or white.
Now, wouldn't I be the most envied mom carrying this beautiful Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag! Psss... I already got a great Kalencom diaper bag a friend picked up for me! But, a girl could always use more bags ;-)
Oh.. Did I mention that Layla Grayce is also having a Dream Nursery Giveaway! They are giving away a Newport Cottage crib and changing table, artwork, that precious Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag, and a $5oo gift certificate.. So, moms to be, check it out!
Well... I have decided that I may try to make some simple white crib bedding with a gorgeous flowing crib skirt.. So PRAY for me! This is the plan, unless Ebay comes through first ;-)
And Lane and I have decided that there is one luxury we might like to have...
The chair.
The gliding, swiveling, reclining chair.
But we aren't paying $1200 for it. I found the chair on a website for about HALF the price and FREE shipping! It will go in the living room, though... I already have a rocker for the back, and I want something for the living room. But I don't really care for the look of a traditional recliner and since we were already in the market for a new chair, this seemed perfect.
Well.. I hope you enjoyed.. And my mom to be friends, go check out that website. They have all kinds of baby things. And mommy things too!
