Keaton's Nautical Nursery. Ish.

The curse of the third child. As much as I really try to make sure Keaton gets all the things his brothers got... we're already falling a little short.  First example: his "nursery." I'm using the word "nursery" loosely, because the truth is, this is actually the sitting room off of our bedroom. And once you've seen this picture, you've seen the whole room.

Instead of handmade fitted sheets, I bought two from Pottery Barn. Here's a helpful hint: buying sheets from Pottery Barn is cheaper, faster and easier than making your own.  Sad, but true. At this point, you have also witnessed the only time Keaton has actually been in his crib--for a photo op. He's been sleeping in the bassinet beside the bed or snuggled beside me. I can't help myself.

Two little pieces of art--a print from Lindsay Letters and an amazing embroidered piece of art, designed by Sarah Jane and embroidered by my talented mother in law. I love them. The embroidery matches the fabric in Keaton's quilt (and Finley's big boy room, post pending.)

I'm in love with all the fabrics in this line (Out to Sea by Sarah Jane). My mom and I put together this quilt when I was staying with her in Arkansas. Keaton really loves it too.

Newborns, right? So little. So snuggly. So awake every three hours in the middle of the night. (Confession: I don't mind waking up a million times at night to feed a newborn. This is partially because I love snuggly babies, partially because I love the quiet of our house when everyone is sleeping, and partially because I love Doctor Who. With a capital LOVE.)

  1. No shame in purchasing your son's fitted crib sheets, especially when they have them in chevron.

    I think the next baby deserves a space themed room, don't you?

    1. I think Finley's having an astronaut birthday party next year! Maybe I can get him hooked on Who before then. He sure loves the Dalek...

  3. I just love that line of nautical fabrics as well. I am a full believer in buying everything for newborns from PBK -- but you've taught me the dark side of needing to MAKE nursery bedding. Or, well, buying fabric and then watching you or my mom make nursery bedding.

    Keaton is so cute. And cribs really arent for babies until you're ready to sleep instead of snuggle anyway.

  5. Look at that little bundle! So sweet in his ship of dreams. Cute results, Rachel! (on both accounts.)

  6. How do you watch Dr Who late at night by yourself?? I would pee my pants. (For some episodes. For others, I might accidentally wake up the whole household with my laughter.)

    1. I would not consider myself a very brave person... but I haven't been very scared! Probably because I watch late at night when my brain is only half functioning. :)

  7. I would LOVE a sitting room/nursery. I am plotting to get one, actually.

    1. It's kind of perfect. Sorry baby, but I can't dedicate a whole room to you. We share around here. Sometimes.

  8. Um that beautiful crib sheet with chevron pattern makes me want to trade in Peter's argyle bedding.

  9. Once I found the chevron sheet I was a pretty easy sell...

  10. How awesome to have a little sitting room to set up a little nursery!!! Seriously Keaton couldn't be cuter.....newborns- ahhhhh a little piece of heaven. LOVE it- I am already afraid Emme is getting too big. She isn't even 2 weeks.

    1. It's amazing. I didn't even realize how much I would love it! And I totally agree--even though Keaton is still smaller than his big brothers started out, I feel like he's so big. This is why I'm going to have a million babies.
