Baby Henry's Bathroom

Many things happen when you come home from the hospital as a new family. You leave the house as the two of you, and come back with another person who's yours. It's amazing. 
We've had a summer of adjusting to our new threesome, and it's been so wonderful, awe inspiring, exhausting, and fun. 

But, aside from those things, other things happened around here too.

The mailbox had a pretty blue bow for a few weeks


And the lamppost did too


As did the front door



And his little bathroom finally got some baby love too. I did a sweet collection of art on the largest wall, some of which was done by me, and some from Etsy.
The three quotes came from Etsy, the elephant sketch and rhino were done by me in high school, and the plate and mirror are antiques. 


There's nothing like adding a pretty monogram to a set of fluffy new towels either. The towels and shower curtain both got some initial love for our Thomas Henry Griffin.


For our anniversary, I painted a crest of sorts in honor of our last name for my husband, and we agreed that Henry needed it in either his room or bathroom.


Along with the art wall and new monogrammed linens, I added a fun indoor/outdoor chevron rug from Dash and Albert for a pop of pattern and color.


And this great bamboo shelf to house all of our bath cloths, bath toys and the like. 


Hope you like!

Have you guys seen my friend Molly Lloyd's new custom drawings and stationary line? It's adorable and she is too! Her custom pieces are amazing, and you have to check them out! She recently did the invitation for a shower I helped host, and it was precious. 

Here are a few of her images:



Be sure and contact her for your own custom pieces!

New Art Around My Abode

Lately I've added a few new art pieces around the house. It's an easy way to feel like something changed without a ton of $$$. I have too much fun arranging the prints, paintings, and plates - with the nail holes to show for it.

Here's what I've been up to:

The back hallway was freshened with a new print


And new paintings too. 
I had the paintings of our dog Baxter and cat Sandy done for David. The super talented Lisa May Williams did them and I think they're beyond adorable! They're flanked by drawings of my parents and in-laws homes by yours truly. 



***Ps. She also did a painting of our newborn son Henry for my husband's first Father's Day. 
I just fell in love with it!***


Over the summer, my mama and I ran across a pair of nude paintings at the Athens Antique Mall. I had to have them! I added the halo of  chinois and oyster plates around the modern piece that my talented friend Renee did for me, and propped one of the nudes up front.
I love the look of layered art! 



I just really fell for them! The colors were so pretty, and their size was perfect.


Here's the other one hanging in my bathroom.


After acquiring a few antique prints at Scott's, I arranged them with other plates in our basement. The woodland look and depictions of animals suit this room in our house.




I even had one left over to add to a bathroom, neatly tucked under another oyster plate.

A Mountain View

Hi blogger friends! 
Don't you dare miss this gorgeous post on the 2012 Cashier's showhouse that my BFF James Farmer recently authored. I had a blast as his second set of hands! 

He's got more images of the beautiful porch he designed on All Things Farmer, and on Pinterest too...you can see that his love for red, white, and blue is evident - I know the photos are lovely, but believe me, in person, it was all breathtaking!





And if you haven't seen it already, check out his post on the incredible baby shower he and my best friends threw for Baby Boy Griffin!
