The Nursery Obsession

I'm going into my 13th week and already I pretty much have everything planned out for the nursery. Well, all the big stuff that is. This has got to be the funnest part so far of being pregnant. Online browsing, figuring out colors, themes & eventually, the best part.....shopping! I have done zero shopping so far for the baby. I'm a little anxious & nervous to start. Not having a belly yet still makes it a little surreal to me. I think I might wait til my September doctors appointment to actually bring anything into the house (2 more weeks!)

For now here are some definite ideas/pieces for the nursery. Enjoy!

All of the crib bedding I saw I hated so I went on a mission to find something that screamed 'Baby de Souza'.....This one screamed loud and clear to me! :) It is handmade by Brooke from the BabyDarling Etsy shop. Can't wait to order it. I loved the whole look of this so I decided to also purchase the Gulliver crib from Ikea (pictured here). At $139, it's a steal! Cribs are ridiculously expensive these days it seems. I always stay true to clean and simple designs and this fits the bill perfectly.

The Poang Chair from Ikea. This is my version of a rocking chair. It's more of a bouncy chair though. :) I get motion sickness very easily so this gives me just enough bounce to be comfortable. It comes with a matching footstool too!

2 Knappa Pendants from Ikea, again, are also on my wishlist, but I'm still somewhat undecided about these. They are gorgeous, but I'm not sure about the hassle of having to do re-wiring to hang them.

The 8-drawer Hemnes Dresser from Ikea was ideal for a changing station that can later just be used as a dresser. It fits in perfectly with my clean simple look.

My favorite piece so far and absolutely one that I will be purchasing soon is the Rattan Elephant Hamper from Home Decorators Collection. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. It makes me smile everytime I look at it. :)

There are tons of things that I want to make myself, like a bamboo mobile, pillows, some wall art, & some white and yellow window panels. Can't wait to get started on all my projects! I'll be posting pictures as I make them.
