Jamester, you seriously rock.
Worth the wait! Takes eclectic to a new level ;}
Awesome room! He will love it
I am sooo sooo excited to meet baby Brigsby!!
Not to stalk you, but I recently came across your blog, again. I had to tell you that this…is awesome. Congratulations!
found you through ohdeedoh…I am absolutely in love with this room and you are highlarious to boot! I’ll be back fo’ sho’.
I have NEVER seen any “baby room” anything like this!!
But, of course, what would I expect from such an awsome Granddaughter? Have you considered interior design for your next career? You should. Love you bunches.
thank you everyone
This is AMAZING.
…also, really REALLY curious about the Rogue Dead Guy poster, cause…beer? Awesome.
haha! a lot of people are freaked out by the Rogue Dead Guy poster! We got it at a craft beer expo when I was 6 months pregnant – everyone there was glaring at me the whole time – and one of our friends found the posters on the ground but they belonged to someone else and then he almost got beat up over it but I intervened and the guy who picked the fight thought it was hysterical that I was pregnant at a beer expo and let me pick a poster to keep and didn’t beat up our friend. that’s the condensed version.
Im so in love with this! Great job.
when can i move in??
i love it. great job!
I found you through OffbeatMama. I am so jealous of this room and your creativity! This is amazing! I’m gonna be thinking about this for days. Take care!
This is a wonderful room! Brigsby is a very lucky littly guy
Stunning!! I want a grown up room like this!
I found you through a comment on my BFF’s blog. You said your husband re-designed your blog, so I clicked and browsed around. And stalked. And fell in love with this room. I wish I could add you through Google Friend Connect because I am REALLY bad about following blogs unless they’re in my Google Reader. BUT, I might make an exception here…new fave blog fo sho.
Happy weekend!
@ Kimmie – awww thank you so much! I busted my ass on that room – I’m glad you like it! I’m the same way with blogs – if it isn’t on bloglovin then there’s almost a 100% I will never read it
I hope you had a great weekend!
I’m getting a blog makeover on the 1st, but I added the generic bloglovin button. So yeah, I’ll totally cry if I never hear from you again.
Ha!
But seriously, this room is AMAZING. Nice work, mama!
