Within the next couple of weeks, I will become a GREAT Aunt to my niece’s baby boy, Colt.

And I cannot wait!

Courtney has worked so hard in preparing a nursery for sweet Colt, and I wanted to share pictures of it with you.

I was so proud of the DIY skills she used to create Colt’s name above his bed, paint a chandelier white, and make custom shades for it.  Great job, Courtney!

She had the bedding custom made by a very talented family friend, Jenny.

Jenny is an amazing seamstress!  You should see the girls’ clothes she makes.  You can check them out on her blog, Savvy Stitches.

Jenny made the bedding, drapes, pillows, and the name sign hanging on the changing table.   Love it!

My favorite piece of furniture in Colt’s nursery is the children’s wardrobe dresser.  Because it’s mine! :)

This precious dresser was the first piece of furniture my husband and I ever bought over 12 years ago.  We got it at a second hand store and painted it white for my first son, Jonathan’s nursery.

We used it in all four of our boys’ nurseries, and to see it now in Colt’s room just makes me smile!

Courtney hung the word art sign that I made her over the dresser, and I think it looks perfect there!

It’s just such a sweet room, and it is already so full of love!

Courtney is going to be a great mom, and Chris will be an amazing dad.

Now come on, Colt!  We are ready for you!!!

I had the honor of meeting Dee from Red Letter Words at Relevant in October.

I have admired her work every since I have been in blogland, and it was a thrill to finally meet Dee in person!

What did I learn about Dee?  She is real, genuine, and extremely cool!

It is so exciting to meet one of your sponsors in person!  I am so grateful to Dee for sponsoring my blog and allowing me to host giveaways of her beautiful prints!

A couple of months ago, Dee had asked me to design a room around one of her gorgeous prints using Polyvore.

I was so honored, so of course I said “Yes!”…then I said, what’s Polyvore?

Kelly, Dee’s sister, introduced me to the site, and I quickly learned how to use it by just playing around.

On Polyvore, you can create room designs by using products from all over the internet.  It is super cool and addictive.

Yeah, I know…like I need one more thing to occupy my time and my addictive nature!

At the time Dee asked me to design a room, I had been knee-deep in Pottery Barn Kids magazines looking for inspiration to re-do my son, Adam’s, room.  I was hoping to move little Eli into Adam’s room, and it needed some changes.

So when I saw Dee at Relevant, I asked her if she had a print that would work well in a boy’s room.

She said she would work on one, and she wanted me to use it for my Polyvore design.

Here is the print she created in a denim blue, and I love it!

This is one of my favorite scriptures, and it is perfect for a little boy’s room.

What a great reminder to my little guys to be STRONG and COURAGEOUS for the Lord, which is exactly what they need to be in today’s society.  But they do not need to FEAR, because the Lord is with them wherever they may go!

AMEN!
