Vintage Inspired First Birthday: Tricycles and Kites

Last week I shared with you Max’s Naming Day party and the nursery inspiration board it inspired. Well, Max recently turned 1 and you know Sarah from Style Me Gorgeous threw a to-die-for bash to celebrate the occasion!

Naming Ceremony and/or Baby Shower Decorating Ideas from ‘Down Under’

I came across these pictures from Max’s Naming Day, designed by this lucky boy’s very talented Aussie mom*, on one of my favorite design sites that just so happens to be written by another talented Aussie.

I love how the sky blue and light gray color palette is brought to life with splashes of yellow. This is a gorgeous party to draw inspiration from for your baby shower. And it could easily be translated into a nursery as well… I think I just got an idea for my next inspiration board!

If I ever move out of New York City… I’m moving to Australia.

Seriously.

Seems to be like the people who live ‘down under’ are the chicest people around!

* By the way, all of the printables from this party are for sale at Style Me Gorgeous.

DIY: How to make decorative pom poms

I love pom poms.

I’d hang them in every room in my house if I could.

They’re the perfect hanging decor for a nursery or for a baby shower. They’re light weight and inexpensive and will make you think happy thoughts whenever you see them.

But making your own pom poms is probably easier than finding ones the PERFECT color and size to meet your needs.

If you want to make your pom poms out of fabric, check out OnceWed.

If you prefer tissue paper pom poms, Imperfectly Beautiful is where you need to go.

And PLEASE email me pictures of your handmade pom poms! I’d love to post them on the site :)
