Into Everything

Image
Charlie is into everything these days. So many things around the house catch his interest. The dog bowl is by far his favorite... The dryer is fascinating He follows the vacuum around the house always the dog bowl lots he can get into outside like eating rocks But the kitchen seems to interest him the most Maybe he will like to cook like his Dad someday

Charlie's Space

Image
I'm not sure why I haven't included pictures of Charlie's room here yet, except that his room has been a work in progress. At this point, it feels like it is done, at least until he is a bit older and needs different things. We tried to create a unique space that is calm enough for sleeping and yet a fun place to play. Each element of the room has a story. We started with the crib, our one big splurge and my favorite piece in the room, and went from there. The elephant mobile is from Flensted and the name print was an early Etsy find. We had to hide it until Charlie was born since his name was a secret. The bookcase is something we knew we wanted from the beginning. We searched far and wide to find one that would fit the space. We found this one marked way down and in a dark rust color and had it painted white. The dresser was purchased unfinished and Ryan stained and painted it to match the crib. The car decals keep Charlie entertained during changes and the flokati rug
