This morning, my little man and I got up and hit the road. With the forecast set for 55 degrees today, there was no way we were going to be hibernating (at least not until nap time). We left the house with a few errands in mind: Target (obviously), Starbucks, Lowe’s and HomeGoods. The only thing that would have made these 4 stops more pleasurable is if I would have been solo. He did, however, do really well 🙂 I was in and out of every store relatively fast, except I took my time at HomeGoods. I didn’t stop to browse up and down the aisles at Target per usual and Lowe’s was a quick stop since I just needed to schedule a measurement appointment for window shades. So HomeGoods it was for my leisurely stroll today.
I have a few plans in mind for the walls in the nursery, so I knew I wanted to check out the picture frame section. I recently came across these gorgeous Pottery Barn frames and have been swooning over them since first sight, but just couldn’t see myself splurging on 2, 3 or 4 of these @ either $89 or $129 a pop for the 2 styles I like. I knew I could find a better bang for my buck!
Enter my finds at HomeGoods! I picked up 3 of these frames @ $14.99/each and am super excited to get them hung up in the nursery. They are 16″x20″ frames matted to fit an 8″x10″ photo. The mats aren’t quite as “oversized” as the PB look, but they are still larger mats than standard for this size of frame. They also had 11″x14″ frames matted to fit a 5″x7″ photo. I picked up the shiny silver finish, but I saw this type of frame in black and white too. There will be more pictures to come once these frames make it into their new home. The future pictures will look much, much better than the one below. Sorry, its getting late and I wanted to just snap a quick pic with my phone!
I also picked up a couple copper-colored wire bins which will be receiving a nice spray-paint job and will fit perfectly inside a few cubbies in the white Expedit shelving unit we are using as a book / toy shelf in the nursery. I thought it would be cool to mix some metal / industrial looking pieces into the room to mix with the classic look of the navy & white stripes. Definitely going for a classic look with modern and funky accessories. I am hoping it all comes together the way I am envisioning it. Fingers crossed.
Goodnight!
