my most favorite thing to do these days is to tear the bottom tape off a box and break that brother down! then I stack em and take them to the garage in big satisfying piles. and maybe I talk a little smack at them too. it’s me against them these days and they will not win.
here are a few unearthed items from the last few days…
birdie from alicia that looks like she was made just for the nursery
treasured japanese fabric that matches my new sofa perfectly. soon to be a pillow I think.
a mountain of 0-3’s
and while I’m working on the new nursery one last look at the old one. baby boxcar’s broken down crib and left behind mural 🙁
Looks like you have alot of unpacking to do, its kinda sad about oscars room, leaving it behind and all.
I love those birdies. I hope the new people will love them too.
Ughhh…every time I see Boxcar’s (now former) mural, it just kills me!
Tell me that the folks that are buying the house appreciate its greatness?
xoxo
PS: What size tee does Boxcar wear these days?
The new nursery bird – and the old ones – are just wonderful.
Oh – that had to be difficult to leave the mural behind. It’s truly gorgeous…
(you had me at the chickadees!)
oh the birds
i’m just going crazy for the birds these days
did you do the mural? – i love it!
Oh, was it hard to leave that insanely gorgeous mural behind? I agree that I hope the next people love it too.
Those birds remind me of my father. There are too few of his little drawings and paintings. Oh I wish that I actually knew you and you were painting something like that for my babies.
I’ve been talking smack at flattened boxes for almost a year now (ugh)- in fact, I just told one off the other day! Feels good, eh? Congrats on the new digs, I’m sure there will be new amazing murals to look forward to!
What a darling, DARLING bird!
Left behind, meaning you left it behind? That is a sad thing.
I love the birdie tree so much
so endlessy wonderful
Oh, how I love that mural!
Where do you find such beautiful, perfectly matching fabric?
what a beautiful mural! i’ve been meaning to paint something similar in my room for the longest time. lovely lovely 🙂
Are the former owners names really Dick and Dot? Is your sofa vintage? I have a whole bunch of flat boxes in my dining room from Ikea that you can come over and “enjoy” with me. Just say the word!
I can’t wait to see Junebaby’s room when it’s all finished.
I don’t think I’ve seen a photo of that mural before – beautiful.
Love the mural – I love that Japanesey look!
Oh, it must be so sad to leave the mural. Good luck settling in.
I can’t wait to see what you do with the new nursery because that mural was just awesome.
Oh my goodness. That wall…well, that mural is what I want(ed) to do in my craft room. I have bare walls in a big room. Ideas – they abound!
I am dying over your nursery lampshade, so sweet! I have a scalloped-edge thing going in my children’s nursery…please oh please tell me where you found that! Just love it.
So sad about the mural, it’s just perfect.
I just am in love with your nursery lampshade….please, oh please can you share where you got that? It’s so sweet.
Sorry about that mural, it’s quite amazing. I am sure you are in the works of new and just as wonderful creations in the new home.
aww… a bittersweet last look. 🙂
Yes but think of the wonderful NEW murals to made!
SJ That fabric was available on Purl Soho and Superbuzzy, I bought it too.
The mural is so gorgeous! Birds are so lovely….
The lamp, the lamp! They look so much like lamps I got from my mil. I don’t know when she bought them but thought maybe the 30’s or 40’s?
I’ve given them to one of my daughters!
Barbara C.
barbara – the lamp belonged to my grandparents so 40s sounds about right.
alison – the lampshade was a gift when oscar was born. I’m not sure where it’s from.
lotta – yep! and nope, sofa’s from room and board.
isabelle – thanks, I think I did get it at superbuzzy
nancy – yeah, my husband painted it.
we’re sad to leave it behind but have one gazillion photos of it to remember it by.
Beautiful mural, are you going to do more of these?
Longtime reader, first time commenter! I just have to tell you how much you inspire me. Someday, when you’re taking a little rest from making incredible things and raising lovely children, I hope you consider writing some kind of lifestyley book so that we can mew over more photos of your amazing work. Best of luck with Junebaby!
