When we found out that we're expecting a second little girl, I began thinking through ways to update the current nursery (Vi's room) into a place for two little ladies. We didn't find out Violet's gender, so the kids' room was decorated neutrally, with a few girly touches added on once Vi came. But since we know that little Beatrice Severn Somerville will be joining us in the spring, I got to work designing the space and picking out prints to frame (for David and I, our vision for any room begins and ends with the artwork on the walls).
In addition to a few other pictures, the two above will be added to the mix: a collage, made by me (ampersands are a little part of the room's theme), and a graphic print featuring a favorite quote from Lemony Snicket, designed by David (since we inadvertently named both our daughters after characters from A Series of Unfortunate Events, we thought it was appropriate. What can I say? I like slightly macabre, old fashioned names). It's always sweet to be able to add a little personal touch to a room, especially a room that our daughters will play and dream and grow up in.
love, love your decorating style, case.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kati :) That means a lot!
DeleteI'm obsessed with the ampersands. And the name Beatrice. YES.
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes! Since there are two of them now the ampersands fit well :) Plus David is a typographical guy, so it's all in the family!
