Top Ten Tuesday - Nurseries

Ever since we found out that we were going to have a baby, I have been looking at Pinterest for nursery ideas like crazy - I know, that's a given - but even more now that I know the specific gender!
Well, for this week's Top Ten Tuesday, I thought that I would share with you my Top Ten nurseries that I have come across and adore!

I love the glamorous look of this with a twist of femininity; that floral wall is amazing!

From Shoesoffplease.com, the soft colors of this gorgeous room caught my eye!

Those curtains and that dresser!!!.....Need I say more?


{Source}
I love the peach color with the gold accents....so neat!


{Source}
These neutral colors are so pretty to me!


{Source}
I love EVERYTHING about this one! The color combo, the shabby-chicness, with a touch of vintage!

Mint green = always in my Top Ten

The soft colors, especially for a hot air balloon theme, are a sweet twist to this nursery! I love that banner, the baskets for storage on the wall at the changing station, and the ruffled curtains!

That glider and all the pretty accents!


And last but not least....

That sheep mobile is so sweet and different from any that I've seen!

Hope you enjoyed
Have a happy Tuesday!

Old Shutter DIY

I was recently thrifting the area with one of my best friends when we came across this huge warehouse type building with junk treasures all along the outside. Yes, of course we decided to stop in, which is where I got a pair of these amazing old shutters! 


I knew I was going to use it in a little DIY project and couldn't wait to see its transformation!

I decided to take off that strip of wood down the center with some pliers by unhooking that little 'J' shape piece from the other piece; easy as pie.


Then, I used a little spray paint magic, turned it from drabby brown to uplifting white, and gave it a little distressing to the sides and corners. 

I drilled some holes along the bottom where I removed the old knob to replace it with 4 new ones I bought on sale at Hobby Lobby (of course). ;)



Now we have this "Old Shutter's" transformation to a new jewelry or towel hanger!
< It's ready for use >







What do you think?
This was such a simple DIY project.
 I am loving the transformation and I think it will look so cute hanging on the wall!

Have a happy Friday!

xoxo,
Jen

Top Ten Tuesday


I feel like everyone can relate to, and enjoys reading, a list of Top Ten items! 
I mean who doesn't right?

I want to start a blogging series called, Top Ten Tuesdays, where I can share items that I have discovered and related to personally, or that I have come across via someone else that I can give credit to and share with you.

With all of this ice and snow where I am, and the warm weather on my mind, I thought it would be appropriate to do the first issue of Top Ten Tuesday over my personal list of my Top Ten Swimsuits that I can't get enough of!

Even though you won't catch this pregnant lady in a two piece this summer, a girl can dream! ;)

I love the one shoulder in this one!

{Source}
This bow and bandeau top is to die for!


{Source}

{Source}
This one piece is just precious ~ I'm loving the flower and ruffle combo!


{Source}
Cobalt blue and ruffles?! Swoon!
{Source}
If you know me, I am obsessed with this mint green color!

{Source}
There's that one shoulder again! ;)

{Source}
And one for my baby girl! ;)

Don't you just love these? 
Where do you usually shop for swim suits? I'd love to hear!
