I'm Back!

Hello everyone! Yes I'm finally back after a very long hiatus. Thanks to all for your concerns and well wishes while I haven't posted...it was much much appreciated. Well the reason for my absence is that I'm pregnant after almost 10 years of trying, doctor visits, treatments, acupuncture, hopes and then thinking that I couldn't get pregnant again. So much to our surprise after many a paint and design project planned I realized I was having another child. I have to admit the first few months were rough and a bit scary for me, but now I'm almost in my 6th month and so happy that I'm having a another boy. So onto new baby projects and a nursery.

Just to start off I thought I would share a few inspirational nursery images that I've collected.

I love the hanging bassinet and dark floors in this serene nursery...

The stripes on the wall, painted stool and comfy chair in this nursery are what I like best...

I love the varying shades of blue with the pop of orange on the upholstered chair in this image. I also adore the chandelier by David Trubridge. He's one of my favorite green designers and was featured on Daily Imprint awhile back. I just love his design philosophy...

There is something simple and not stuffy about this space that appeals to me...

I like the idea of a wall paper or stencil covering the room and simple roman shade like the one below...

I adore the wall of framed Barbar images in this dark blue nursery...

The space below is a tad feminine, but the stencil or painting on the wall is just so beautiful...

And last, for no reason, I like the fun mixture of pattern and color in this nursery...

Quite an eclectic group of images...no!? Well that is so me. I already have the dresser painted and ready to go and guess where I found it? Craigslist! Big surprise right? I'll post the before and after soon. I also plan to share my tips on how to make the nursery an eco-friendly oasis. Hope you all join me on my journey.

Thanks again to all for your kind comments and I just can't wait to start sharing on Fresh Quince again!

  13. OMG, I am so glad you're back, and I am so happy for the reason you were away! My husband actually deleted my shortcut to your blog, calling it "brainless bimbo brainwashing". He's so mean! But I will tell you that honestly my two kids are my only real contribution to the world (other than the sales tax I pay), and if either has a bad streak I will be a net negative burden on society. But I love fashion and design. Even if I only like a third of the photos you post, it is one of my favorite things to read each week. We're glad you're back (well, maybe not my smart-ass husband).
