Teepees

We've been trying to divise a plan to get Le Misch to sleep on her own bed through the night. She starts off there but ends up in between us in the morning. While we are enjoying these priceless bonding moments, we know at the back of our heads that this has got to stop someday, somehow. 

She loves the idea of camping in the room so I thought, why not build a teepee since I don't really like a camping-looking-tent in sight, all the time. Aside from the fact that teepees are more appealing than the tents they sell in toy stores, it looks like something that our all-around handyman can do. I'm thinking of painting the canvas, stripes, just like what we did with the table cloth for hubby's 35th. What do you think?

The idea still has safety issues I need to tackle and of course I don't expect a teepee to answer our sleeping dilemma but it's a start, right? A teepee might just give her a sense of independence and security when sleeping. And if it doesn't work, it would still look nice in a playroom.

Fantasy Interiors {Eclectic Nursery}

I have long dreamed of a beautiful nursery for Le Misch. One that's wide, open and well thought of.

She never really had one as we were always shuttling back and forth from Manila to Singapore from the moment she was born up until recently.

It remains a dream as she still sleeps in our bedroom up to now. The need for one has long passed but the longing for one that is as design-infused and eclectic as these is still very much there.

I am smitten by Jennifer Delonge's nursery via Meg Kat's nursery project. It captured all the elements I look for in a nursery (or even in a house)! Some parts organic, some parts vintage, the rest being clean and modern. Now I am head over heels in love with Jennifer's work.

I like the pattern play in this nursery. What with the yellow and white striped ceiling to the dotted curtains and beddings, brilliance by k.f.d.! Of course let us not forget that head popping zebra. I'm not so sure if Misch will like it but it will certainly merit at LOT of questions from her (she is currently on an average of 20 questions per minute. Yes, Hubby and I counted the other night.)

I want her wardrobe and now I want her boy Beckett's nursery! Jenna Lyons seem to have everything, doesn't she?

So there. My pegs for a nursery should a need for one presents itself again.
