Watercolor Floral Baby Book

December 20, 2017 | Leave a Comment

When I had a baby girl seven years ago, my least favorite color was pink. Though I wouldn’t consider myself a tomboy by any means, I had never been drawn to overly girly things. So naturally, I dressed my daughter in blues and stripes and, well, plenty of skirts – just not pink ones.

If I were having a baby now, I think it would be SO different. Now I’m drawn to florals, pinks, peaches, watercolors, pastel hues, lace… my aesthetic has changed drastically! But so have the trends.

Lately there seems to be an influx of soft colors, vintage patterns and hues and watercolor florals taking over the baby girl market. From clothing to baby blankets, it’s everywhere.

Since I’ve been drawn to this lately, I wanted to create a line of products for my shop that incorporated this extra girly trend. So the Watercolor Floral Baby Book by Nuts & Bolts Paper Co. was born.

Just like my other baby books, this Watercolor Floral N&B Paper Co. Baby Book is for collecting all the necessary details, without all the fluff.

 

THE STORY BEHIND N&B BABY BOOKS

Finding a good baby book that includes the info you want and is easy to keep up with has always been a struggle for me. So I created a journal/album to make documenting baby’s first year simple in a modern, fun way. The fill-as-you-go style of this book allows you to document important moments and milestones and paste in photos to accompany them. Filling it out is quick, making keeping up with it a breeze. This is not an in-depth baby book; rather a way to document the important milestones and information without feeling weighed down by having to fill out so many pages!

With soft colors and floral prints and details, this book is as girly as they come. But the modern design means it will be a timeless treasure.

Favorite Features of this Baby Book

Some of my favorite features of this (and all N&B Baby Books) are:

  • the little envelope for holding baby’s first locket of hair
  • the letter to baby from mom and dad
  • the cotton muslin keepsake bag that it comes packaged in for safekeeping over the years
  • the mementos envelope on the back cover that holds additional photos and keepsakes

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

Another to-do checked off my list for spring break Another to-do checked off my list for spring break room makeover!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
