Neighborhood Fall Festival

The Big 3-0!

I didn't exactly spend my 30th birthday as I envisioned, hmm.....trip to Italy, crazy 80's party, skydiving..etc. etc. but I did have a great birthday and feel very blessed. Hubby planned a nice dinner for the two of us at Strip House and I indulged in a juicy steak and a huge piece of chocolate cake. After all what else can a very pregnant girl ask for?

Why yes, that's a pumpkin under my dress! 36 weeks

 Delicious chocolate cake as featured on Foodnetwork's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate"-Strip House Houston

I'm officially in my 30's!

Less than 5 weeks away!

We officially have less than 5 weeks away until baby gets here. We should be set for a November 11th arrival via c-section. To be honest we have done nothing to prepare for his nursery and now we need to step it up. I've gotten a sudden urge to "nest"-decorate, clean, paint, etc. Ok maybe not paint myself but I've came up with the baby's room inspiration. I didn't want to do a theme this time since I did one with Gabriella and was sick of it by the time she got here. I decided on just a "vintage" theme (without a theme) if that makes any sense. Pretty much a collection of vintage pieces using reds, browns, tans, black and some blue. I have a vision of somehting very masculine. Anyway I got my inspiration from this piece of art below:

I love all the dark boyish colors and figure this could grow with him. Along with this here are a few other pieces that I've put together for his room. Hubby should start painting the room-(G's old room) this weekend. By the way we've ordered Gabriella's big girl bed from pottery barn kids and its beautiful. I can't wait for it to get here. We are doing a shabby-chic theme for her room. So we not only have one room but 2 to decorate. I'm loving it!

Nothing says vintage more than a Radio Flyer wagon. This is a mini version used just for decor and the monkey sock is also a must. I love the PB Kids bedding with the reds and browns and a classic vintage airplane. The "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" sign is a classic. I am having a lot of fun planning for my little boy's nursery!
