Back in May when I was still very much in shopping mode for our then-new home. Although-I don't know if I ever really leave shopping mode for anything, but that's besides the point.
ANYways, during one of my spring time jaunts to HomeSense, I came across the cutest lamp I'd ever seen. (You may remember the post here)
Isn't it adorable? Seriously-I still love it. I know, I know-those in the design-know blah blah blah probably say that the owl trend has passed or whatever, but I can't help but love it-design trend past, present OR future.At the time (May 2 specifically) I really REALLY wanted it and even called hubs from the store to ask if he thought I should/could get it. You see-it's not really a lamp that we'd have in our family room or anything, so it's purpose would be saved for a future nursery, and it didn't make sense to buy a lamp we'd (God-willing) be using in who knows how long.
So-that time is now. Yep---one of the driving forces for our sell/purchase/move is to make some changes for the upcoming babe. I'm 6 months pregnant and due March 6, 2010...so less that 3 months to go!!!!!!
And I'm SO excited to get into our new house so I can get started on creating the nursery for our gender neutral design (baby's gender is and will remain a surprise until we hear it from the doc after delivery).
So-be forewarned, not that the cat's out of the bag in my blog land, expect way too many baby & nursery-centric posts.
I don't know what's more surprising, that there was an "owl trend", or that it's over already.
ReplyDeleteOh come on Pete, didn't you read it in your daily design trend reads? Sheesh!
