 easy tricks to turn this popular wall decor into a bow holder

these weren't used for just any gallery wall - this one has something special.

I purchased this map on clearance at PB - see how we personalized it for our son's room!

Happy 2012!

Happy 2012, to all of my fabulous followers!

I am so pleasantly surprised that you stuck around - probably missing my posts terribly

 ha.

Thrilled was I to see that no one left during my sabbatical.

Sadly, my last post was September 16th!

WOW! I missed posting fall and Christmas decor - oops 

but we have had a quite eventful 3 months around our house!

We were blessed with baby #2 on October 3rd and have been soaking up time with her!
and wrapping up some house projects - a few of which are featured below.

Here is a recap of what we've been doing...
I am so excited to be back and look forward to sharing all of my

decorating and remodeling throughout 2012 with each of you!

our precious baby girl was born!

finished hand painting/ stenciling the laundry room..
Hubby called it my "Sistine Chapel" haha

celebrated Thanksgiving with my family!

spent lots of time with my sweet mom!
I don't know what we would've done without all of her help...
quite an adjustment going from 1 to 2 kiddos!

baked and decorated lots of Christmas cookies!

spent a blessed Christmas with family celebrating Christ's birth

Hubby designed & built a coatrack area
(details and more pics coming soon!)

and we're absolutely loving being a family of 4!

check back soon to see my home goals for 2012!
It's going to be an EXCITING year around here!

pink pouf.

I am currently writing this post from Cloud 9

because I just found the perfect pink pouf at Home Goods!

for only $60!

 Little Man and I were browsing the aisles...

I turned the corner,
The "Hallelujah Chorus" began playing.
My heart was racing.

Love at first sight.

The world went into slow motion as I began walking towards it.

I had just found the perfect pink pouf for our baby girl's nursery!

When I got home I found this image on Pinterest by searching "pink pouf",
 and yep, it's exactly the same as mine.

The addition a pouf to a room's decor brings an element of playful sophistcation.
Here are some other fabulous ones,
in case incorporating a bright coral pink one doesn't quite fit your color scheme...

Do you have a crazy love for poufs, too?

Fabric Selections

Yesterday, I shared my color inspiration that I found on Pinterest

and today you get to see the fabrics we found that fit our color scheme perfectly.

accent chording for crib skirt & bumper

 also to be used on the inside of crib bumper

Rosehips by Duralee

outside of crib bumper

Aqua by Duralee 

The fabric for the crib sheets will have to remain a secret:

(1)  i like secrets and surprises

(2)  i can't find images of those fabrics

(3) yes, i could take pictures, upload, and post but little man's nap time is almost over

(4) the anticipation is good for you

If I told you how many times I have laid the fabric samples out and stared

with a huge smile on my face, you'd probably think I am crazy.

Dreaming of creating the perfect nursery for our little girl is so much fun!

Only 117 more days until we get to kiss her sweet face...

Calming Color Combination

The day we heard the surprising news that we were having a girl,
I knew immediately what color scheme I'd choose...

Something similar to the light teal & coral colors in this room

Last week I found an Etsy shop that makes custom crib bedding

for a very reasonable price!
All I needed to make my dreams come true were a few fabric selections.

On Friday, my sweet mom and I spent the day in search of fabulous fabrics,
 and by dinner time we had created the perfect combination.

This is the image we carried up and down many aisles and aisles...

This color palette is calming and fresh with a splash of coral spice.

A few times I was tempted to veer away from my original plan,
but custom crib bedding is just not one of those things I was willing to compromise on.
We pressed on until we had found exactly what we were looking for!

Are you on Pinterest?
My sister-in-law, Lauren, told me about it months ago and I have become completely obsessed!

If you use Pinterest come find me & follow
Peace of Home
so you can see what I'm dreaming up before it ever appears on the blog!

Tomorrow I'll show you a sneak peek at our selections from Friday's shopping trip!
