Baby It's Cold Outside!

This was the view from our kitchen window this morning...brrrr!  Last night the blizzard of 2013 hit us with about 30" of snow, but thankfully we kept our power.  First job of the day was clearing a path to the yard for our delicate dog.  He's 85 pounds of wimp.  Not that I can blame him; I sent the kids out to do the shoveling.  Meanwhile, I'm wrapped in cashmere drinking warm cocoa...a most excellent form of suburban hibernating.

Creating A Beautiful And Functional Nursery

2/6/2013

What is it about a charming little room for a child that makes most people let out with a collective "Aww"?  I think planning a nursery is one of the greatest joys for an expectant mother.  Every nook and cranny of the room is given special attention.  The crib, bedding, rocking chair, pastel paint and even lighting are endlessly fawned over by most new mothers.

For many, dreaming of decorating a nursery falls a close second only to envisioning one's wedding dress.  So when it comes time to take that step, where do you start?  My personal preference is to focus on a color scheme first.  Whether it is pink, yellow or even the new trend of more neutral earth tones, select your color palette before embarking on your journey.  For pleasing color schemes, clip ideas from catalogs and magazines and save them as inspiration for your shopping trips.
