Buy a Modern Boat
My husband and I were on a cruise (sans kiddos) this past weekend and we couldn’t find a single souvenir worth bringing home for the boys. These are more along the lines of what we were looking for.

1- Melissa & Doug Deluxe Pirate Ship Play Set- $70
2- Sprig Toys Adventures Dolphin Adventure Playset- $30
3- Green Toys Tugboat- $12
4- Zoo Timer – Fernando the Fish- $150
5- Dinghy Regatte 5-Boat Flensted Mobile- $52
6- A di Alessi Ship Shape Containers- $30 each
7- Guidecraft Chunky Puzzle – Boat- $10
8- Plan Toy Geometric Sorting Boat- $20
9- Playsam Sailboat 130mm Red & White- $60
Fortunately, the boys were so happy to have us home, they didn’t even notice that we didn’t bring them anything. I think Grandma and Grandpa spoiled them while we were away!
Real Room Tour: I’ll Take Gray Any Day
There are so many things that I love about the nursery Suzz put together for her first 2-legged baby (you’ll see the 4 legged one in the photos). The first wonderful element is the subtle “oh boy” lettering on the wall. I think this kind of look can be used anywhere in the home! So cool.

I also have to direct your attention to the ceiling fan blades which were color coordinated using matte vinyl adhesive sheets instead of paint. Such a great idea!
A Giant Lemonade blabla doll rests on the table, and the Hannspree Giraffe TV adorns the dresser across the room.
I adore the way the Ikea Hemnes dresser was modified to look like CB2′s archive credenza! Genius. And of course it goes perfectly with CB2′s letterpress rug.

The sleek pair of terriers on the ledge are by Yvonne Collection and are available in Taiwan. I did manage to find one on their website though!
Suzz was inspired by “we were small” and created the pillows and onesies (you see them hanging around the room) as an homage to the Belgian children’s clothing company.

The wall cubes currently display a Vulli Chan Pie Gnon Chew Toy and a collection of DingaRings. And another one of my favorite things in this room is the series of fish prints that Susan made herself. They were inspired by Fish by Izzy Matthews and I think they work incredibly well as a grouping of prints.

The crib is of course Oeuf’s Sparrow in grey, which always looks amazing in any nursery. You can’t go wrong with this beauty.
I love the way Liun the lion from Aminals looks in the crib and am now a fan of the entire Aminals collection. You’ve gotta check these out.

I imagine the new baby is going to be a huge adjustment for Preston the puggle, who is used to being the center of attention. Such a great photo of him in the Stokke Xplory

Thank you so much Suzz for sharing the photos of your fabulous nursery! I feel honored to have had any small part in inspiring the space that you put together.

Etsy Find: Little Korboose
I’ve had Little Korboose on my list to show you for a while now, and I hope you love them as much as I.

My top favorite Little Korboose products are the stuffed pillows. You can find a little pillow ($25) to suit almost any nursery.

The Alphabet Poster is charming as well. You can get it framed for $65 or unframed for $25, and it also comes in a blue/green color scheme.
The screen printed wall art and canvases are incredibly sweet. I’m trying to think of someplace to use them myself.

I also want to point out the star garland. It’s a really unique and lovely and would go well anywhere ($18).

Be sure to visit Little Korboose and see all the items they have to offer.
