nursery

Many of you have asked about our registry, and the items we have found most valuable thus far. So with the giant caveat that we’re only a few months in on this whole “Oh my goodness, we have a son!” bit, here’s my list… Crib: Remember the closet that became the nursery? Only this crib […]

Humidify

by Ashley on October 27, 2011

Word on the street is that babies need a humidifier. When Hudson was a few days old, he sounded a little congested so Aron looked around at reviews and tried his best to find something (a) well-reviewed and (b)not hideous/ginormous. The combination of a plus b seemed elusive. By the time we found something even […]

Not enough wallspace

by Ashley on October 21, 2011

There are so many amazing new wallpapers showing up lately. Recent favorites by Famille Summerbelle (top) and Emma Molony. I love how you don’t immediately see that Molony’s are scenes from Peter Pan; they could be for a grown-up who doesn’t want to wear a serious expression in the middle of July…  Both could be, […]

Closet Space: Hudson’s crib

by Ashley on September 28, 2011

Hudson is now occasionally sleeping in his crib, so I thought it might be a good time to share some photos of Aron’s closet-space-turned-nursery. There are really two doors inside our apartment: one to the bathroom, and one beside the bed leading to the walk-through closet that leads to the bathroom (you can see it […]

reCrib

by Ashley on July 12, 2011

Michelle Lehmann and her husband Daniel recently launched a new retail site called reCrib where you can find gently used, brand-name baby gear. The items for sale tend toward high-end and so the prices  still tend toward steep. But if you had your hopes set on this $730 Oeuf Crib, you might be pretty excited […]

Bedtime Bus Roll

by Ashley on July 8, 2011

What a sweet idea! A bedtime scroll modeled after vintage bus rolls by MySweetPrints. You can even send a note to the designer if your routine varies!

Choosing a mobile

by Ashley on June 23, 2011

Our mobile just arrived! We chose a handmade, paper mobile by Frazier and Wing: “Sunshine” (top image). It’s more subdued that some, but our wallpaper around the crib is so high-contrast that this seemed to be the perfect choice. All of  Heather Frazier’s collection is really beautiful. However, we did do a lot of looking […]

Bouncing in style

by Ashley on June 8, 2011

When talk of a bouncer arose, Aron was at first dead-set on the very sleek Coco Stylewood Baby Lounger from bloom (after all, when you’re bringing furniture into a studio apartment, you better like how it looks). I have to admit, it’s pretty lovely! But that bentwood construction comes at a steep price. A less […]

Making space

by Ashley on May 18, 2011

Since January, we’ve been doing our best to make space for the baby in our small, 500-square-foot studio apartment. Our first step has been to rent a storage unit across town. We’ve been clearing out books and magazines, Christmas ornaments and SCUBA gear, clothes we rarely wear and travel books that will probably be useless […]

Animal Farm

by Ashley on April 26, 2011

I’ve been eyeing the cute kids’ wallpaper at Ferm Living for a while now, and Aron and I just ordered a roll of the Animal Farm! I love the gender-neutral theme. I can’t wait for it to arrive. We’re going to paper the wall behind our mini-crib to set off the space. (Image: Ferm Living)
