Bébé bébé bébé Nursery

I am so excited to introduce the newest series here at Fieldstone Hill Design.

It is a total knock-off from my UBER talented friend, Christine Dovey, and her Baby Baby Baby Nursery series. Mine is lovingly, Knock-off-ing-ly, and all French-like-ly called: Bébé bébé bébé Nursery. The fun-ness is doubled, because Christine just had a sweet baby boy, {Jasper. He is all sorts of cuteness}, so her series features Boy Nursery Inspiration. You MUST investigate these awesome designs and click around at Christine’s and stay awhile.

And, as you guessed it, the Bébé bébé bébé Nursery series here at FHD will be featuring Girl Nurseries. AND, these nurseries will be designed by some of the most gifted designers and creative decor bloggers from around the web. AND, we will get to enjoy them every Thursday this summer!

And who better to kick off the series than Christine herself. OH MY, and does she ever kick it off! Just wait until you feast in Christine’s gorgeous Girl Nursery e-Design from Bijou and Boheme.

Today’s ditto | a room I love* post features a small, but brilliantly creative, bedroom. But it is SO fantastically layered and narrow. Brimming with smart, fun choices. And completely inviting.

*{Ditto | Room I Love posts demonstrate a great exercise for you as you continue to develop your own personal style: using your own favorite pictures, and making a quick list of what you actually love about the space. If you study what you love about a space, it helps you to bring what you LOVE into your own home!}

This is a room I love. Do you love it?:

 {via apartment therapy}

WHAT I LOVE {What I would ditto!}:

1. Its narrowness. Lately I have been loving snug little rooms like this one. It is like living in a treehouse… and it takes complete ingenuity to make the space function well.

2. The lack of clutter and the ruthless editing of STUFF!

3. The rich velvet-y goodness headboard.

4. The simple white bedding and duvet, topped with a stunning ikat bolster and a velvet pillow to match the headboard.

5. The beautiful gold elements that move around the room: one wall has gilded frames, then the far wall has gold sconces, and the dresser is topped with {YUM!} a gold lamp with a gilded lampshade.

6. The bench that adds texture, but also offers a lot of seating in a tiny space.

7. The colorful modern art.

8. All wall items are hung at varying heights. I love the interest that brings to the space.

9. Layers upon layers upon layers, without being crowded. There is a lot of texture happening in this narrow but clever space.

*** And introducing, a new addition to some of my ditto posts ***

You CAN {ditto} it!

A sofa love story

This week, I have been texting my best-est buddies and pestering the living-snot out of my husband, seeking sage advice. And I was also kind of hoping they would let me know if I had completely lost my marbles.

You see, I found THE PERFECT sofa.

It just so happens that I found it at THE MOST IMPERFECT time {ahem: I happen to have a nursery to prepare. And a new library / school room. And no spare cash hanging around as a result. You know the drill}.

And not only that, this “perfect sofa” has one teensy-weensy little problem…. It is covered in brittle, cream, antique silk. Original from 1959. Yes.

Did I mention this sofa would go in the most widely used room in our home?

AND, that I have two boys, ages 7 and 5 who I happily encourage to play in the mud?

AND that I am about to have a BABY??

…

but you see, that is why this is a love story.

I can tell you, I am not an irrational shopper. I am also not a fickle shopper. I know what I love, and I only regret my purchases on rare occasions. And, once I purchase something I love: I am loyal. I don’t tend to tire of my purchases or get major itches to revamp everything.

Why am I telling you all this? Well, I think there is a HUGE LESSON in it.

Know what kind of a shopper you are. Know thyself.

It is really important to know whether or not you are:

1. The loyal shopper: you buy what you love and stick with it for years.

2. The mid-road endurance shopper: you buy what you love and some of what you like, and then, suddenly, one day you are ready for a new style.

3. The fickle shopper: no matter how hard you try, you cannot stick with any  look or style for very long.

Now, here at Fieldstone Hill Design, you will always hear me pushing you toward #1. I believe that the more you gain confidence in your own loves, and the more you know your own personal style, the better quality you can invest in, and the more you can stick with what you love for the long haul. A true love story.

But if you are a #2 or #3, there is really nothing wrong with that! I still want to encourage you: try to improve upon fickle shopping habits, if only to save yourself money and time in the long run. But maybe becoming the #2 mid-road endurance shopper is as far as you are going to ever get – and that is fine! Because the world {and decor!} needs change sometimes.

The biggest takeaway from all of this?:

Know what kind of a shopper you are.

Know yourself , but also grow daily in knowing your own personal style. { <– Tweet This }

…Because it will help you avoid big shopping mistakes. And it will help you take risks when you need to. Like taking a chance on love.

…

Like in my sofa love story.

I needed to take a risk. This piece is a one-of-a-kind. And it simply had “Darlene” written all over it. We were meant to be together, cream silk or not.

And while it may sit in my family room with sheets over it for a bit, until I muster up the cash to recover this beauty,… it will be worth it in the end. Love always is.

You see, I happen to know that I am shopper #1. I will not change my mind about this piece. I will not get fickle about her beauty. I will not fall out of love.

So. is it really a risk after all?

…

Enough pontificating. Do you want to see my spoils? {don’t go falling in love, now. she’s spoken for.}

{hover over the image to share some Pinterest love}

A very special thank you to Leland Couchman {yes. that is is REAL name. Talk about fulfilling your destiny}, the extremely helpful sales expert at Jayson Home. He answered all of my many questions, and several phone calls, with forthrightness and down-to-earth advice, and I was able to make a good decision thanks to him.

And now, all. I must know:

What kind of a shopper are YOU? 1, 2 or 3?

And is it time for a little furniture love story of your own?
