This Little Miggy Stayed Home: Gauze Swaddle Blanket Tutorial. Over a year ago I decided to make my own gauze type baby blanket for Lamp.

This Little Miggy Stayed Home: Gauze Swaddle Blanket Tutorial

I wanted something lightweight to wrap her up in and decided I could definitely make something as cute as any aden + anais swaddle blanket. So I tried a star print using a sweet potato as a stamp. The color was wrong and the stars were either too big or too small, in short it was ugly, ugly, ugly. So I never posted it. However, I did end up using this blanket for Lamp anyway as it was still light and breezy like I needed. So even though I've been running around like a crazy woman with a crazy-long to do list, when inspiration struck I just had to stop and make her another blankie. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Check it out here if you missed it. It’s interesting when you’re doing a room for a little person… there’s this part of me that wants to go all crazy blogger-designer-nutso on the space, and then there’s the realistic mom side that reminds me that her room will be a disaster of toys in about 3 minutes flat and that I don’t need to go over the top to make her happy.

I’m a total sucker for an accent wall. How to Create a Mosaic Accent Wall Since this is the room of my 5 year old, I asked her what she wanted, and she told me LOTS of colors. Base coat paint.

Nick Curtis @ typOasis. My Bamboo is Peacock Blue. I have to say thank you to all of you for your suggestions on what color to paint the faux bamboo chest I scored last weekend while out thrifting.

My Bamboo is Peacock Blue

Quite frankly, it’s one of those pieces that would look really good in any color, but there were a few comments that coaxed me toward peacock blue. Ooh, rich bluey-turquoise . . . Make the gold hardware pop, yes that’s a must! Yes, me likey colors of the ocean, thanks for reading my mind Andrea. Amen sister, peacock is da bomb. So I busted out of my ‘just paint my furniture white’ box I fit so nicely into, and pulled off a bold shade of glossy peacock blue. Check out this hottie now: Now that’s what I’m talking about! I love it, don’t you? From the start, this find required some minor repairs. Next came the broken leg, with a piece of bamboo falling off. Now it looks like something you’d pay top dollar for on 1st Dibs (double fist bump to the chest, followed up by peace sign to the crowd): Bowl from Marshalls ($3 dolla, holla!)
