Blog Update | Recent Press and Latest Purchases

I made a couple of changes to the blog this morning! Nothing too major, but I figured I’d give you guys a heads up!

I moved the “Recent Press” feature from a side bar feature to having its own separate page. You can find the link for it up on the top left of the blog.

And to replace the Recent Press feature on the sidebar, I’ve added “Latest Purchases”. This is where I’ll list my latest buys from my favorite daily deal websites:

CCC Nursery | Gilty Purchases

I had to show you some of the things I’ve found for Baby B’s nursery on Gilt lately!

This morning I bought:

China Doll Grobag = $30
Isn’t this cute? It’s a mini-sleeping bag/sleeper for those chilly winter nights.

Groegg Digital Thermometer = $18
It changes colors depending on the temperature of the nursery!

And some other purchases I’ve made recently…

Organic Socks from Kee-Ka = $15
They were only $10 on Gilt.

And last but not least! Too add a bit of fun & whimsy to the nursery, not to mention a soft place to play…


Flokati Teal Shag Rug 3’x5′ = $94.99 This rug was only $75 on Gilt.

The custom crib bedding is finally all here! The Dwell fabrics look fabulous 🙂 Can’t wait to you show you guys! Pics will be coming soon!

I figured it was about time for a little nursery update! If you’ve missed previous post about the nursery click here to catch up! The Mr. & I did a lot of work and organizing over the holidays. We still have a ways to go, but it’s definitely looking more put together 🙂 There are still some things on the shopping list (changing pad, crib mattress, floor lamp…to name a few). We also need to add some more playful touches so it looks less like an adult’s room and more like a baby’s room.

The chaise will be perfect for napping & sleeping during those late night feedings. The white peacock painting has found the perfect home in this corner (Thanks again Terri!!!)

After a couple of mishaps, we finally found the perfect dresser for the room. Thank you Craigslist! I absolutely adore it. The grain in the antique oak is just so gorgeous, they really don’t make ’em like they used too. And the wavy front adds just the right amount of “girlieness” 🙂 It will double as a changing table once we get a changing pad for the top.

The unicorn poster was mine when I was a little girl. My Mom gave it to me for my 10th birthday and now our little girl gets to enjoy it too! It still needs to be hung…

Oh and how do you guys like the custom trophy cup? Most babies get a silver sippee cup or a spoon, mine gets a silver horse trophy cup 😉

This side of the room has become a catch all for now 😉 I finally decided on this shelf is from Target. I’m going to be lining the back panel with fabric, but haven’t decided which fabric to use yet…oh and I still want to get some storage bins or baskets for the bottom shelf. Don’t you just love the vintage wool coat? I found it at a vintage store for $19. It’s from the 50’s and in perfect condition. The collar and cuffs are suede! I LOVE it.

The crib makes a great storage area 😉 Oh and the bedding should be coming in later this week, can’t wait! Of course we’re still needing the mattress, lol.

This faux bamboo end table was a steal for only $30 at a sample sale. It was halfway painted white when I bought it. The Mr. did a great job painting it a glossy black. Sooo much better.

A handy iPod dock for some soothing music for baby. And a cute peacock blue tealight holder also a gift from Terri @ La Dolfina!

I bought the chandelier from Pottery Barn Teen and it was exactly what I was searching for. It was a breeze to install and adds the perfect amount of sparkle to the room with out being too stuffy.

I couldn’t resist this little guy when I saw him on Gilt…He’s the perfect mini-version of Cristof! He has little wheels in his hooves and makes a cute (and surprisingly not annoying) neighing sound when you squeeze his ear.

Gilt Goodies

I missed out on these beauties this morning! Sooo disappointed 😉 Are you guys as addicted to Gilt as much as me & the Mr are? I check every morning what the new sales are, but missed ’em today because I had coffee with a friend this morning then straight to the stables.

How perfect would these boots be for the lil’ nugget?

Jacadi Equestree Boots = $84

And they have some amazing Scalamandre Fabric on sale right now too! Gorgeous 🙂

Weekend Shopping

OK, I think I’m definitely in baby mode now 🙂 I made a few fun purchases over the weekend!

I saw this adorable outfit on Gilt but alas, I was too late to buy it. So using my *skillz* I hunted it down at Organically Baby along with a couple of other cute pieces!

By the way, I’m absolutely digging Gilt for baby stuff lately. You need to check it out if you don’t have access yet. Click here for an invitation from yours truly!
