Snapshot: the nursery

I have done a series of posts on snapshots from around our new home. As little corners emerge I thought I’d share them with you; my style finds in context.

Next up – the nursery.

Built in the 60s our new home is a conventional layout for family life. A big open-plan ground floor living space and upstairs, a master bedroom with a box room right next door. In a previous life this would have made a perfect dressing room but now it is home to Country Bebe.

His room was finally finished last weekend with the arrival of his bunting. Crafted over months with some serious love and attention by his doting Granny. Every morning when I sit in the rocking chair feeding CB I am bowled over by the personal touches (D is for our family dog, Pepsi. A chocolate lab complete with pink collar).

The OH was adamant that CB would be a petrolhead from an early age – hence the Cath Kidston vintage car rally curtains (NB: lined with SUPER thick black out fabric).

The walls are painted in Laura Ashley Oyster. It’s such a cosy velveteen blush colour.

Lastly, let me introduce CB’s cot companions.

From left to right:

His monogrammed ‘M’ for Mansi cushion courtesy of my mummy; Rabbit – the OH’s childhood toy (he never was very imaginative with names); Thread Bear – my cherished childhood bear (he is only on loan) and CB’s own teddy – Carmine. In the mornings we hear him shuffle up his cot, grab one and start babbling away to them.

I love that it’s a mix of old, new, homemade and handmade. I’d quite like to move in myself.
