Growth Charts

With our backs pressed hard against the wall and our breaths drawn in deep, I remember getting my height notched into the laundry room doorway growing up... it was so fun to able to see how much you had (or in my case, hadn't) grown. The problem we ran into is that we moved to Arizona from California and we had to say goodbye to the doorway that held all our years of growth and memories. Save yourself the trouble and opt for one of these beauties, you'll be able to move on without any "doorways" in your way. ;)

This seems like a great DIY idea. If you love shabby chic or the look of the amazing Anthropologie ... this could be the right fit for you. Found on etsy by MissNatalie found Here

Baby Art

I think art in a baby's room is overlooked too often... or under-looked. Don't limit yourself to bears floating away with balloons, or ducks wearing bonnets. Keep in mind that YOU will be looking at these pieces as well, if you love those little bonnet wearing duckies...so be it. But for the rest of us, I've gathered up a few ideas of great children's art! For you and baby love to enjoy ...

Holy cuteness ! You could base the whole room off of these colors. Great unisex piece that will grow with your baby. Found on Etsy by calobee found here

Although he can be pretty pricey at times...it may be worth the money. Vintage David Klein travel posters are not just a great investment they are a fantastic statement in any vintage modern baby room. Found on ebay ( if you're lucky ) as well as from his website here

Baby on the brain.....

There is baby on the brain over here at the Durkin household. Or shall I say my brain. Whenever I get myself made up about something....what comes next? Well of course! Research....research ...research. Not about how to get baby here ( I crystal clear about that one )...but about baby products. I guess my un-dying love for design has the nesting coming WAY early. In of all of this I have done some mighty work, and now my friends I believe it is time I shared....
