Teddy's Place.

Theodore's nursery is a labor of love. When he was just a tiny little tadpole the burning desire to nest caught fire in me and I began dreaming, planning, pinning, and pretending to sew. My grandmother, Theodore's GREAT Grandma, made him a quilt with umbrellas and tiny diaper pins framing animals and numbers he now chirps at (because everything is a bird, or a dog, or most recently a baaing sheep). I became a little nutty (read as: hormonal crazy pants lady waddling around Berkeley and Ikea on a mission)  about every little detail of what was to be his corner of the world. 

Now I smile when I walk in that room. I hope he can feel all of the love we tried to squish in through that door. Here's a peak into Teddy's Place.

 The Mexican wrestling poster is actually a sheet of wrapping paper from Paper Source. Much cheaper than a print!

 Most of Theo's books are on his play table in the family room but we keep a few here we don't want him to rip to shreds!

 The changing table is my favorite refinishing project so far.

 A hat that our friend made for Theodore, a picture of the Oakland Temple and some teeny tiny hearts that I cut out when I was loopy with nesting instincts.

 Theodore models his room. So suave!

 A view of the crib.

 Pinterest success! I'll show you how I made this later. It's such a happy little rain cloud!

 Hot air balloons made with love by Auntie Courtney.

 My old Teddy Bear Rufus, Giraffe from a calendar, and Teddy's first TOMS for spring!

 Some book favorites.
