Cribs and other childish things

I was reading through my blog roll this morning and came upon this nursery designed by Kim Zimmerman on VT Interiors. She was posting about art on ETSY but what caught my eye was the beauty of this simple, straight-lined, modern crib juxtaposed with the gorgeous carved chairs. I like that the look of the nursery is minimal but not stark. White but with color. My kind of style.

And it got me thinking about my house and how fun it would be to pop a crib into one of my rooms. I don't have enough room to make an entire room into a nursery, but I could add a crib into one of our bedrooms. Like this folding crib:

Bloom - Alma crib

What a great color, right? Which got me looking at cribs in general and I started to fall in love with these very modern ones:

Spot On Square - Eicho Crib

Oeuf - Robin crib

And then I saw this:

I absolutely love this large antique looking floor mirror with this modern crib. And of course for me, the lover of all things white, I could not resist showing you this:

But why, you ask, am I looking at cribs. Because I am going to be a grandmother (or as my son-in-law says ... "Abuela") soon (17 weeks yesterday and 161 days to go - or so the website says!). 

My girlfriend gave me the sweetest gift the other day and made a special card to go with it! 

And speaking of children ... I received my sister's latest children's book in the mail today:

I'm super excited to sit down and read it ... as always, her illustrations are absolutely darling!

I am so looking forward to this weekend - what a long week! Happy Friday everyone!!! ;)
