Row row row the boat...

I'm still choosing my furniture. So many shops have nice decoration and accessories but no larger pieces. But finally: We found exactly the bed we were looking for! It's all white and beautiful. The webshop often gives a discount on their things, so I'm waiting a few more days before I order.

I hesitate between two amazing wall shelves. Two or three units? We don't have much space, I still have to decide... It's so difficult! And I have no idea yet how to find the perfect table. How did you find your basic furniture?

There's still so much to do, too much brown furniture around. Slowly slowly I will reach my goal: Everything white!


Remember the lavender pictures? I used my baby's nautical style wardrobe as a background.

My husband painted the wardrobe white (it was white before, but slightly tansluscent). The boat knobs and the roof were bright blue and I painted them greyish blue, a shade of the blue painted wall and the wall border. I also made some wooden boat knobs for a dresser that had other knobs before. Now everything fits perfectly together! When everything is well arranged, I will make more pictures.

I also painted three little chairs and a small table... in a few years we will draw and make there some crafts! I can't wait... I'm sure my little boy will be very creative.


I just love this wardrobe, it's it adorable? Perfect for my little sailor! I also made this garland for him.



Not finished at all... and this was before I painted the little chair :)


I love the stuffed life saver and the boat. He will love to play with them!



This is the blue wavy border I made. The right wall is light blue, a beautiful greyish blue. The baby's bed will be under the wooden DREAM letters.

Sweet framed dollhouse bear pictures hang on the blue wall. I especially love the picture with the knitted baby shoes. They are attached to a white piece of fabric with lace around it and "bébé" embroidered on it (I will take a more detailed picture another time).

That's the dresser I painted and the knobs I made. And please forgive me, the chair isn't white, what a sin :) Soon it will be! Some shelves will replace the garland soon as well.


I hope you like the baby's room as much as I do!

Love, Chani
