Get Inspired: Butterflies

With all of their beautiful colors and pretty detailing, butterflies are a natural choice for nurseries. And with some glorious spring weather upon us, now is the perfect time to create a space for baby with some fabulously fluttery fun.

Here is a gorgeous collection of butterfly filled nurseries with our pick of complementary personalized growth charts.

Wow! We just love the 3-D butterfly installation in this shared nursery/bedroom and would hang the color coordinated Butterfly Kissespersonalized growth chart on the door until baby has its own room. (Design by Numbers)

This pink nursery with beautiful butterfly detailing is definitely fit for a princess, so we’d go with either the Fairy Tale or Perfect Princess s. (Image found on Pinterest)

The oversized butterflies soften the bold wall art in this whimsical, yet edgy nursery and we think the Growing Giraffes personalized growth chart pulls together both style elements, as well as the color scheme, nicely. (Kenneth Brown on HomeWorkshop.com)

Pretty and eclectic, we love all the butterfly accents in this nursery, from the mobile to the wall decal to the pillow, and think the Hoot Hoot personalized growth chart would tie in perfectly. (Chic & Cheap Nursery)

Did any of these butterfly nurseries with personalized growth charts get you inspired?

Pregnancy Announcement Ideas

We love hearing about new and interesting ways mamas are announcing their pregnancies, as well as birth details. With Facebook and Instagram, it seems like people are getting more and more creative – and we love it! Parents Magazine recently offered several cool ideas, click here to read, and their Facebook followers offered some of their own sweet ideas.
Because we design big sister shirts and big brother shirts, we’re especially fond of the announcements that include siblings-to-be, like these ideas:

Dress kids in a big sister tshirt or big brother t shirt, like the Something To Say Big Sister Tshirt or Only Child Expiring Big Brother T shirt, and take 3-4 photos with them holding a sign that changes with each picture and put it together to look like photo booth pictures so it reads “Guess who is going to be a big brother/sister” or something along those lines.
Choose your kid’s favorite theme, like superheroes, princesses, construction, etc and create a sign that corresponds with it. For example, a boy in a Super Big Brother T shirt could hold a sign that says, “Every superhero needs a sidekick” or the Dig In Big Brother T shirt and a sign saying, “I’m going to dig being a big brother.”
Have you used big brother shirts or big sister shirts to announce your pregnancy? If so, please share your photo(s) with us at buzz (at) petitelemon.com for an upcoming Petite Lemon in Real Life feature.

Get Inspired – May Flowers

Modern floral designs are a big trend in fashion, which is no surprise because who doesn’t love seeing beautiful blooms springing up everywhere, especially after the cold winter months. They’re also popular in home décor and are a fabulous choice for nurseries because they can easily be used as accents or as a major theme and work really well with a whole range of shades, from pale to bright.
We’ve found some gorgeous nurseries with flower décor and paired them with our personalized growth charts.

We love the sweet femininity of this light pink nursery with floral accents and think the Best Friends personalized growth chart would fit in well with the color scheme, as well as the square and rectangular shapes used throughout the room. (Eat Drink Pretty)

We love this pink and aqua room with hand-painted roses on the wall and would add the equally adorable Fairy Tale personalized growth chart. (Project Nursery)

Coral Trend

Coral is a super hot color in home and fashion right now. This pretty hue works as a neutral in lighter shades or as the perfect pop of color in its brighter forms. Coral comes in a wide range of orangey to pinkish tones to choose from, but its inherent warmth is what makes it really ideal for use in a nursery.

We found some absolutely adorable coral colored nurseries and chose personalized growth charts to accent each.

The coral accents, unique lighting, and 3-D butterflies above the crib completely endear us to this nursery, which we would pair with the Butterfly Kisses personalized growth chart in Coral & Yellow. (The Nursery Book)
UnderTheSea
Coral designs and colors are perfect for a beachy themed nursery which would look great with the Under the Sea personalized growth chart. (Little Crown Interiors on Project Nursery)

A range of personalized growth charts,like the Woodland Fun or My Favorites, would easily complement this simply pretty pink and mint nursery with coral accents. (His & Hers)
What do you think about these nurseries and personalized growth charts, do they inspire you to use coral in a nursery?

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is still a few weeks away, but it’s never too soon to start thinking about a gift to thank her for all she does. As creators of personalized baby gifts, as well as big brother t shirtandbig sister tshirt designs, we know that gifts that tug at the heartstrings are ideal no matter the occasion, but none more so than at Mother’s Day.
We suggest dressing the kiddos in I LOVE Mom or Heart 2 Heart Mom tees and doing one of the following:

Have them deliver breakfast in bed to her
Take a photo of them in their tees and present it to her beautifully framed and wrapped
Take her out to brunch
Pack a picnic lunch to enjoy at the beach, park, mountaintop, etc.

As moms, we know we’d love any of these! And don’t forget, the last day to order personalized onesies and tees in time for Mother’s Day is April 29.
We’re looking forward to Mother’s Day on May 11!
