I've had such a hard time finding simple, clean, white nursery bedding (that doesn't cost a fortune either)! <br /><br />Best wishes on your upcoming move, by the way! So glad that you're going to continue to blog & that you're allowing us, your readers, to follow along on this new stage in your life!

The bumper and skirt were not but I soaked them in vinegar for quite awhile to cleanse cotton of chemicals. Even so, I never did use the bumper once the babies were born. The skirt, since they couldn't touch it, was used. The sheets were purchased at Diapers.com, although I can't remember the brand. I have bought several and they are all so different in fit and quality. <br />Congratulations on your baby! <br />Trina Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371726009244498344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-85099589690281887252013-03-22T11:49:17.172-04:002013-03-22T11:49:17.172-04:00Hi Trina!

Your home is so beautiful & inviting!

I only do so now because of something I feel compelled to mention. I also have many antiques in my home...dressers, tables, and bookcases to name just a few. But having three young children (ages 9, 7, and 5) has taught me a lesson about decorating with these items: make sure to bolt those heavy and tall pieces to the wall. It is amazing what kids will do when your back is turned for even one moment. I hate to be the person with a "downer" posting here on your lovely blog, but I just felt led to tell you about this often over-looked safety feature. Too often we concentrate on making the nursery "safe" on the surface for our dear babies...covering outlets, choosing paint with no fumes, and carefully putting breakable objects out of reach. Unfortunately we forget that these solid pieces of furniture can be very dangerous for a small child, something a blogging friend of mine recently found out in a most heartbreaking way (warning: difficult to read, but oh so important for us mothers and fathers to know about: http://networkedblogs.com/bSh74). I just don't want this to happen to anyone else so I thought I would take a moment to post this information so your beautiful family never has to experience a preventable tragedy like this one was.<br /><br />Blessings on your new family! Your babies are absolutely precious. :)<br /><br />Hannah<br /><br />P.S.

Your babies are coming home to a lovely, homey room. How is it you make your home as beautiful as a magazine cover, while keeping it so simple, humble and green? Also, many congrats on your babies!<br />P.S.

I find it so profound to use heirloom pieces or pieces that carry with them such history and warmth in creating a home for your family.

The class focused on special effects and I was most interested in basic color and lighting quality. <br /><br />The pictures are hung on the original picture rail mouldings. The cords are weaved wires covered in fabric. For added safety, we also hung them by picture hooks on the plaster walls. This is unnecessary usually but since they were in the nursery, we wanted to be 150% sure that they were extra secure. <br /><br />So happy that you liked the pumpkin cake!! I was just mentioning to my husband that it would be fun to do pumpkin birthday cakes for the babies when they're older. I thought it would be fun for them to watch their 'birthday' pumpkins grow. <br /><br />Thanks for writing! <br /><br />TrinaCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371726009244498344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-44615231778490583422010-12-03T12:44:13.054-05:002010-12-03T12:44:13.054-05:00I'm having a little boy in April and this post...I'm having a little boy in April and this post makes my heart happy! thanks for sharing!Stephanie Sabbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220517582586171874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-35194929094955222152010-12-03T04:27:09.753-05:002010-12-03T04:27:09.753-05:00Hi!

I'm a faithful follower (since just this past August) but have never commented (for some reason I'm shy even tho anonymous!). I enjoy reading your posts & am amazed at your house remodel. Your pictures are always lovely! I think I read that you use the lowest version of Photoshop, is that the one for beginners? Not the one you need to take a class to use? <br />Also, what did you use to hang your frames in the nursery? Is it just a basic nail & some type of wire? I'm sorry if it's a dumb question but I am new to all things house-decor related. :( <br /><br />P.S. I made your pumpkin cake & it was DIVINE!<br /> <br />P.P.S. I admired your kind responses to the nit-picky mothers... I thought their words to be a bit harsh & inconsiderate of how you shared something as personal as your beautiful new nursery.<br /><br />-MaddieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-59833844728139757132010-12-01T19:26:42.224-05:002010-12-01T19:26:42.224-05:00The nursery is lovely, and safe!
