Walls never looked more fabulous than when graced with your sweet baby's face. But are you looking to get a little more creative with your photo displays? Mommas, get ready to add a new site to your *favorites* list...


Art has no boundaries, so why should your photos? Grab your sweetest shots and create some frameless canvas prints at UpDone. This is a fab site where you can upload your pics and have them printed on stretched canvas and assembled on wood frames, immediately ready for hanging or display. Choose to have your image printed only on the face of the canvas, or have it wrapped like these examples below.








UpDone prints and assembles the frames within a few days and gets them right to your doorstep before you can say "Awwww!" For an even more budget friendly price, you can opt to assemble the frames yourself. But I'm too much of a goof for that... I'd have the thing stapled to my pants somehow before it was said and done.


I have first hand experience with this company and the end product is truly fab, especially for the price. I was very, very impressed with the speedy delivery and the quality of the images. Click on over to their site to get a feel for how they price their items. You'll pay a lot less per item if you order more than one, so load up! Create a couple of larger prints to use in different areas, or maybe a bunch of smaller prints to form a tiled display on a larger wall space. The options are endless, and the memories? Unforgettable.

Bath Time: Dry off with Style

You know I love baby nurseries and all the design possibilities within... but what else makes my heart skip a beat? Baby and kids' bathrooms. They're teeny little rooms with big, big potential. A lot of families won't have enough bathrooms to designate one solely for baby's use, but it's truly one of my favorite spaces when it's doable.

Malibu Bath at Pottery Barn Kids

When we built our house, we had an extra bathroom added in the spare room that will one day be a baby's nursery. And I specifically chose a sink and fixtures that fit the look I was envisioning for the perfect baby bath. But whether or not your little one has his very own spot for the pot, there are endless ways to make bath time a little more colorful and fun.

An easy and affordable way to add great style? Some personalized towels for baby. Towels are one of my favorite gifts because (a) they make for a quick and simple way to spruce up a bathroom, and (b) you can never have enough of them. Add a monogram or baby's name and the practical gift becomes suddenly that much sweeter. You can find different varieties of personalized towels all over the place, but if you want to get the most bang for your buck, look no further than the "Lawton" towels by Lauren Ralph Lauren online at Horchow.




Horchow is a Neiman Marcus brand, but don't let that scare you... while there certainly are some pricy picks far outside this girl's spending budget, there are some serious deals to be had on this site - including these fab towels. Through tomorrow, Horchow has "event pricing" on these Lawton towels. A monogrammed bath towel will only set you back $10. What did she say? Yes, mommas... $9.99 for a monogrammed towel! If you need a little shop comparison, hop on over to Pottery Barn and see how much a monogrammed towel goes for there. Ahem... that'd be $24 for the towel and an additional $6.50 for the monogramming, totalling $30.50 for the one towel. I love you, Pottery Barn, but I've got to look out for my wallet here...

So anytime I have a need for towels, my mouse clicks straight on over to Horchow. With over 20 colors to choose from and even more thread colors, you can find something to coordinate with any look. Horchow's current sale does end tomorrow, but not to worry... subscribe to their promotional emails and you'll be in the know the next time they do the special event pricing. They run sales a lot, so I assure you it will come around again soon. And I wouldn't be too surprised if this current sale got mysteriously extended a few more days. Suddenly, rubber ducky's not the only one making bath time fun...
