Ray Ban and the Baby Room

It was a good 3 years with my last set of frames, but it was time to give in and update my prescription. And I don’t believe in just getting new lenses. If you’re getting new lenses, might as well get some new frames.

I also, put some work into Liam’s room too. We got this rad Land of Nod mobile from our friends, the Donahues. I was eager to get it up and test it out. We were also gifted Paul Thurlby’s L-M-J prints from Tricia and Katie. But they are still on their way here from the UK so I just put a little placeholder there in the meantime.

Baby room: paint, wallpaper and presents

My mom came into town and we were extra-productive on Saturday. We bought a dresser for the baby’s room, picked a paint color, bought the shelf rail/moulding for half way up the wall and we went to work. We got a good 3 coats of “grape green” paint (somehow it still needs some touch-up work) and my mom wallpapered the back of the bookcase with the vintage airplane wallpaper that was gifted to us from the Mayotte’s…

And then Sunday was the baby shower with the family. We got lots and lots of baby clothes with monkeys and puppies and monsters on them. Thanks to everyone for the gifts! And of course, Henry couldn’t escape the weekend without showing off his halloween costume…

Registration has begun. The baby shower invites are being sent out in the next few days and we thought we should have our registrations ready for all those eager grandparents, family, and friends. It has been a little disappointing with the selection of baby-related merchandise that all seems so cliché, not to mention an overwhelming amount of these items and “must-haves!” So currently we are a little stumped on how to proceed. Any suggestions? And don’t tell us to make everything on our own! This is the 21st century for goodness sakes, who has time for handmade anything

But seriously, any suggestions? We sort of wanted to do a typography-themed room and/or may go with an aviation theme since we do have a series of 3 childish paintings we did awhile back called “bird” “plane” and “hot air balloon”. I can’t find a photo of them right now, but I did just find some awesome illustrations by Paul Thurlby. I’m excited again…there is hope!
