...in the nursery

so I thought i'd share some details of the nursery. it took a while to collect everything and for pieces to find their home and I'm finally really happy with how it's turned out. i'm sure it will look very different very soon :)

cars in the "garage" already waiting for their master to take them for a spin.

this 2.1 metre giraffe, carved out of a single piece of wood was the first piece Filipp and I bought for the nursery. we found him at the Mill Markets in Daylesford on our babymoon last June. we loved him straight away and were super happy when he barely fit into our little Golf. all three drove happily back to Melbourne with his head between Filipp in the driver's seat and me in the passenger's seat.

 I love this name canvas, a New Year's gift from my parents. it hangs above the change table and keeps Atticus entertained during the nappy changes

a handmade mobile that also hangs above the change table. the painted twig was made by a friend and recycled from the wishing tree for my baby shower. we hung some of the 'wishing birds' on it as well as a little dream catcher I made for Atticus and Mavis the monkey. I think Mavis might have to get down from the branch once little man wants to play with him.

the letters spelling BOY sit on the window sill and were a baby shower contribution from another friend. I love being able to re-use objects made by friends.

Atti's book collection (both in russian and english)is growing weekly and I can't wait till he really starts enjoying them. I love children's books and have started reading some to him but at the moment all he wants to do is bash the pages and put them in his mouth.

we purchased these animal prints at the shirt and skirt markets at the Abbotsford convent. 

the beautiful handmade bunting and matching bib was a gift from aunty Alice for New Year's

love this freckle rug  and matching coaster

Atticus' astrological crystals sit on top of  the side table alongside a wooden horseman. Atticus often falls asleep to the sound of classical music or smooth jazz tunes on the radio
