Salutations Bookworms!
Today I’m going to explain how to create the world’s most adorable penguin and book themed nursery. You ready?
Step One: Go back in time. You know that girl who walked into the first day of 6th grade late carrying a trombone? Make friends with her. It’ll be easy, her locker is right next to yours and you have the same schedule. Plus she’s weird, like you.
Step Two: Wait 22 years.
Step Three: Give your artistic best friend of over two decades creative license to design your kid’s nursery.
If you’re lucky enough to have a BFF like mine, she will weep tears of joy when she finds out you’re expecting at long last. Then she will offer her services to help you in any way she can. Fabric swatches will be exchanged, designs will be discussed, and two states away, your child’s bedroom decor will be lovingly constructed.
Sam’s book collection is going to be another post entirely, but I wanted to show off how delightful his nursery is. You know. Before he’s old enough to tell me he’s had quite enough of the penguin stuff, MOM.
*If you make a purchase through a link on this site, I will receive a small commission. Of course, the coolest stuff in the post isn’t available for purchase because it’s one of a kind homemade goodness. You’ll just have to find your own crafty weird BFF. Mine is taken.*

What a lovely gift from your friend! The nursery looks great.
My sister is a great artist and she painted a Cars mural in my son’s room. I’m not sure what we’re going to do what the hits the teen years though…

Oh! A mural! I bet that’s so cool! But yeah, when he’s older and too cool for cars, it’ll be heartbreaking to paint over.

I LOVE those wall quotes! They look so fun, I’d totally put them in my own room ?

Oh my gosh, I know! I might move them to my office if he ever decides to redecorate!

Awwww this is the greatest nursery ever! Your best friend is crushing it and I am hugely impressed with her work. Sam is for many reasons the luckiest baby on earth.

IDK if Sam is the luckiest baby on earth, but I’m pretty sure I’m the luckiest Mom on earth.
