Un Riccio x La Bambina


Un Riccio x La Bambina... A Hedgehog x the Baby Girl... Or better, many hedgehogs (i ricci) are awaiting her sweet arrival!  As am I... And this is my "excuse" for taking a slight pause from blogging... From the date of my last blog post, I am quite embarrassed that it has taken me so long to post again.

Nevertheless, here I am (34 weeks pregnant), delighted to share the fun little project of designing a simple baby's room for my parent's house, while incorporating much of the original guest room furniture.  And an item of note is the yellow dresser, which was mine as a little girl growing up; it's been updated a bit with some new glass pulls.

And of course, my passion for little hedgehogs is front and center for the baby room, as I continue to collect them in all types of materials and sizes.  They simply make me smile... And my hope is that my baby girl will smile too as she gazes up from her crib and sees them watching over her.
