Baby Boy Nursery by katiepeters featuring seagrass area rugs
Even before we listed the house, I planned to use and borrow from what we already had as much as possible. I also knew that I wanted versatile pieces that could grow with the child or be moved to other rooms later on. Most of the items in this set are simply placeholders. Feel free to view the sources on polyvore, but don't for a minute think that I spent this kind of $$.

Last but not least...
Is this not the cutest mobile you've ever seen? Made from felt (with lines sewn on to look like notebook paper) and wire. As much as I would love to plop down $58 and as much as I am sure the craftsmanship justifies it, it is simply not in my budget. So... I will try my hand at making my own. Hopefully I will get around to showing you how it turns out.
ps. Is it bad etiquette to register for baby books? Have you ever?
