Yay! I recently bought a set for my baby girl due in July. My son was a January baby, so otherwise, we only have very thick blankets!

Use those paint talents on the shelving unit next. And consider a cheap swap out on the light switch. I like the pop of yellow on the found mirror- good change!

And AT- I hope you stop deleting posts that are in no way inflammatory, just opinionated. I like it here, but I don't like that.

This is very cool- can you get specific about which beeswax, etc. was used from Liberty? There are quite a few different kinds.

Our nursery is gender neutral- baby is due 1/1. I found it pretty easy to put a gender neutral nursery together- but we had some good starting blocks.

We had a red Ikea Hemnes dresser (changing pad will go on top) and coordinating red bookcase, plus olive-y green patterned curtains from Urban Decay to start.

I painted the walls a mustard yellow, and added an Urban Decay owl lamp with a green-patterned lampshade. Plus an Inke Heiland vintage wallpaper giraffe in a 60s green and mustard-toned floral pattern.

I put a Dwell for Target cream and light brown "zebra skin" tufted rug on our hardwood floors, and a cream Ikea Poang chair and ottoman in the corner. Plus a couple of green storage containers (a felt open-top one from World Market and a brighter green lidded one from Target).

The crib sheets will be solids- cream or yellow.

The effect is totally gender neutral, but fun and vintage-y. Books stacked on shelving and 4 colorful Etsy owl prints in the room's entry all work with everything.

Lovely- nice use of color, very harmonious.

But, this confirms- minimalism is not for me!

I did this as a gift for my adult friend for Christmas- who doesn't love playdough? :)

While I understand the premise and can certainly appreciate our culture's need to be less wasteful... many of us have jobs that absolutely rely on people buying things. And that is the reality. Until these people have a plan on what to do with all of us, I can't really hope too much for their success.

Also- I'm not sure how Black Friday is being misunderstood above. It is about Christmas shopping, as in gifts for other people. Not selfishness.
