A Sophisticated Soiree: Chic Baby Girl Baby Shower

Chic Purple Baby Shower

Baby Shower For Little Girl - Purple Color Palette

Baby Shower Party Planning Ideas  - Baby Girl

A sophisticated afternoon soiree to celebrate a mom-to-be! We spotted this delightfully luxurious “Life is a Gift” themed baby shower on Hostess with the Mostess — and there’s nothing we don’t love about it. Using decorative paper in gold and hues of purple, Aisha of Dooby Design Group wrapped boxes and use them as decorative gifts, building the “Life is a Gift” theme. She put together one very chic party on a small budget — but you would never know it by looking at these pictures! Visit the HWTM blog for all the party details.

Splurge vs On a Budget: Boy and Girl Twin Nursery

Last week, I told you all about Kristy {a facebook fan} who is expecting boy and girl twins. I came up with a color scheme for the mixed gender twins and this week I’m sharing with you a complete design board.

Two, actually!

The first is the Splurge! nursery with a price tag of approx. $3,935. The second? That’s the On a Budget! nursery. By replacing just 3 items, the price tag on this one is $1,400 less.

Details.-

1. The color scheme: I’ve chosen four colors for the room. Lilac and a light blue are the primary colors for the design. Lilac for the baby girl. Light blue for the baby boy. Sage (light green) is the complimentary/unifying color. It looks fantastic with both lilac and blue. Gray is the neutral background for the entire color scheme and the wall color.

2. Baby Girl Bedding: Serena and Lily Crib Bedding Set Lulu, $395.

3. Baby Boy Bedding: Serena and Lily Crib Bedding Set Dylan, $395.

4. Cribs: Oeuf Eco-friendly Sparrow Crib, White, $690 each {splurge!}; Storkcraft Sheffield Stages Crib, White, $99 each {on a budget!}.

5. Ceiling Lamp: Normann Copenhagen Norm 03 Lamp Shade, $200 {splurge!}; Ikea Knappa pendant lamp, $34.99 {on a budget!}.

6. Dresser: Ikea Hemnes 8-drawer dresser,White, $299.

7. Fabric for Curtains: Serena & Lily Fabric by the Yard Diamond Leaf, $50 per yard {splurge!}; Home Decor Print Fabric-Croscill Felton/Kiwi, on sale for $14.99 {on a budget!}.

8. Rug: Shaggy Raggy Lime Jersey Cotton Rug, $66.

9. Glider: NurseryWorks Empire Rocker, $1,100. A chunk of the budget went to this chair but it’s my favorite piece in the room. It’s elegant, neutral and can be moved to any other room in your home once it’s done it’s duty in the nursery.

Design Dilemma: Choosing a Color Scheme for Boy/Girl Twins Nurs

Kirsty, a Facebook fan, expressed some difficulty choosing a color scheme for her nursery. She’s having mixed gender twins and can’t settle on a color for the walls.

I offered to help.

* I’ve also put together this Boy and Girl Twin Nursery design board using the same color scheme.
