Nesting part 3: Kids Bathroom

By 5 Comments

Pottery Barn Kid’s Bathroom

Hooded Monogrammed Towels(Restoration Hardware Baby and Child)
If you looked closely through the photos you will see that we are naming our daughter Holland! Since Holland and Hudson are going to be sharing a bathroom, I needed to redecorate! I transformed the bathroom from a little boy bathroom to a gender neutral kid bathroom, while still incorporating lots of fun colors. I had inspiration on the colors from Hudson’s good friend Capri’s birthday party. I love the navy blue and light pink together, it is very nautical. I thought these colors combined wouldn’t be too overpowering in being too girly or too boyish, goal accomplished. Evey time I bathe Hudson he tells me he wants Holland’s towel. Not either of his, then after I wrap him up in her towel he looks in the mirror and says “baby Holland?” and giggles. We are all getting excited for her arrival around the Bird home!

Nesting(Part 2) Hudson’s Big Boy Bed

Hudson’s room details
Everything was purchased at RH Baby and Child
Transitioning Hudson from a crib to his big boy bed was such a scary idea, but surprisingly has turned out to be great. I love that as a family we can all lay in bed with Hudson and read him bedtime stories. It is so sweet to stroke his hair as he falls asleep while lying next to him, I sometimes fall asleep in the process because it gets so cozy. I feel that he is very safe in his bed, we did not put a box spring under his mattress, so his bed is low enough that he can easily get in and out of it. Whereas I was always nervous that my ninja baby was going to break his arm jumping out of his crib, which he could do. I still cannot believe that my tiny little guy sleeps in such a big bed, but it really has been for the best.

Pottery Barn Bedding in the Master Suite

Bedding, Lamps (Costco, similar/identical here), Charging Station
I had the great pleasure to collaborate with one of my favorite blogs Design, Life, & Style, I was thrilled that Lea was interested in my “nesting” process. I first started my “nesting” with redoing my master bedroom. I purchased new bedding, lamps and a charging station (no more cords). I included a DIY project which consisted of painting my mirror and furniture hardware from brass to silver. I feel the bedroom should be a relaxing refuge, especially as a mother. I wanted to lighten up my room with fresher colors and softer fabrics. The original bedding we purchased as newly weds was elegant and rustic, I feel that this bedding fits my current lifestyle and tastes.

Suit details: Hoodie(on sale now), T-Shirt(sale), Pants(on sale now too)

There is something to be said about a good new Juicy Suit! Being so very pregnant this suit is a must have. Whether I’m lounging around the house or after I have swam at the gym, I love getting into my new sweatsuit. I am also pleased how perfect and fun this suit is for Spring Break. Its great for traveling, pool lounging, or grabbing breakfast. I even see it being used for future purposes such as when I am recovering from having the baby, or for when I am nursing. Whether it’s Friday or Monday, pregnant or nursing, I am glad I made this purchase! Have a Great Weekend!

Basketball

My outfit: Lululemon top, Lululemon shorts (similar), Nordstrom shoes (want this color) 
Hudson’s outfit: Quicksilver tank (similar), Old Navy shorts (similar), Adidas shoes (similar color)

 Hudson has always been fascinated with basketball. He loves watching a game of basketball live or televised, but mostly he loves playing basketball.  It’s so fun playing and teaching Hudson about basketball because he so badly wants to learn. Right now we are working on dribbling to give my back a break from picking Hudson up so he can work on his shot. It is a good thing he only weighs 19 lbs or else I think I would throw my back out. I love my little athlete!
