Room Review: Cat from Thrifty Littles
We love finding fantastic nursery designs and then pairing them with a personalized growth chart that truly complements each one, so it’s especially exciting when we see an adorable room that already includes the perfect personalized growth chart in it.
Cat from Thrify Littles, recently posted a look in at her sweet daughter Mae’s nursery on her blog. The space is an upbeat mix of pretty colors with a bit of bling and an overall feminine feel that will easily transition into a big girl room down the road.
And of course, we think Cat made the perfect choice with the Vintage Circus personalized growth chart! We think the whimsical feel and aqua color fits in wonderfully with Mae’s room.
5 Favorite Gender Neutral Nursery Designs
Last week we presented our five favorite boy nursery designs and the week before that was our five favorite girl nursery designs, so last, but certainly not least, is our top five favorite gender neutral rooms. As with the last two posts, we gathered these amazing rooms from Project Nursery.
Here are five gorgeous gender neutral nurseries, each with a personalized growth chart that we think would make the space that much more darling.
Sweet and soothing with calm blues and greens accented with circles and sea creatures, this nursery is a perfect spot for any future sea faring boy or girl. We’d be hard pressed to choose between the Cheeky Dot and Spell My Name personalized growth charts.Which would you choose? (Room here)
A colorful, book-filled nursery? Yes please! This room will instill boys or girls with a love for the written word and the All About Love photo personalized growth chart would fit right in. (Room here)
Owl décor may be trendy, but we never get tired of these wise birds, especially in a nursery as bright and cheery as this one. And no question, the Hoot Hoot personalized growth chart is the smart choice here. (Room here)
From the subtle, but cool wall treatment and mirrors to the globes and travel accents, this worldly nursery is all about the special little touches. That’s why we’d go with the complementary hues of the Colorful Words personalized growth chart, whose encouraging words will surely motivate growing boys and girls to take on new adventures. (Room here)
The hot air balloon themed Up Up Away personalized growth chart couldn’t be a better match for this nursery, which features hot air balloons on the bedding and changing table, as well as an amazing origami map wall decal. (Room here)
That wraps up our series of top five favorite nursery designs. Which rooms and personalized growth charts were your fave pairings?
Fabulous Spaces for Little Faces
Our fabulous Creative Director Hillary has two absolutely adorable little girls, and an equally gorgeous house. Of course we aren’t surprised! She’s got great taste and is responsible for designing many of our adorable personalized baby gifts. Baby June and big sister Lily have been our models for personalized onesies and big sister shirts, so we thought it’d only be fitting to give a quick peek into their rooms too, both of which have our personalized growth charts and alphabet posters.
Lily’s room is all about fun, mixing bright colors with lots of art, books, and personal décor pieces. And frankly, we’re a little jealous our rooms aren’t quite as awe inspiring!
June’s nursery is an eclectic blend of peppy brights and soothing pastels, giving it a feeling of pure joy and happiness!
We just adore both of these inspiring spaces and love seeing how perfectly the Doodle It Up and Gentle Giraffe personalized growth charts fit in with the uplifting designs.

Petite Lemon in Real Life: Sarah at Merely Mothers
We love seeing our personalized baby gifts being used “in real life,” which is exactly why we started our In Real Life series of blog posts.
Our latest is from Sarah of Merely Mothers, one of our fab Brand Enthusiasts you can read more about here. When Sarah moved from a rental into a new house, Sarah’s daughter got her own room. And Sarah got to decorate the nursery just the way she wanted! She chose to do the room in pink and gray with a touch of bright yellow, and we’re proud to say she also chose to include one of our personalized growth charts (the 1 To 10 to be exact).
She shared the room reveal on Merely Mothers and we must say, this was our favorite part:
“And, because she now had lots more wall space, I had to choose some artwork. I like to put things on the wall that mean something. Things like artwork done by friends, photos, and items that are meaningful to the room they decorate.
So I ordered this growth chart from Petite Lemon. I’m so thrilled with it because it’s truly one of those pieces that will grow with my daughter.”

Oh and don’t forget to enter to our contest before June 15 to win a $40 store credit Little Blue Olive, as well as a $50 Petite Lemon gift card good for any of our personalized baby gifts, including big sister shirts, big brother shirts, and even personalized growth charts.

5 Favorite Boy Nursery Designs
Last week we presented our five favorite girl nursery designs and next week we’ll share our favorite gender neutral looks, but this week it’s all about the boys! Again we turned to Project Nursery for some new décor inspirations and we think you’ll be in love with these rooms as much as we are.
We’ve paired five of our most favorite nurseries designed for boys with our personalized growth charts.
This travel themed nursery will surely inspire little boys to explore the world and the colorful room, like the Up Up Away personalized growth chart, is super uplifting. (Room here)
How fun and quirky is this navy, green and orange nursery?! Several personalized growth charts, like Doodle Delight and Animal Crackers, could easily complement this eclectic and colorful design. (Room here)
The Roaring Red Perfect Pennant personalized growth chart adds a perfect extra pop of red to this sophisticated vintage airplane themed nursery. (Room here)
Hung on a closet door, the Woodland Fun personalized growth chart would add a dose of whimsy to this nursery with a chic, modern woodland design. (Room here)
Pops of orange and green make a big impact in this adorable fox themed nursery and with so much going on, the Chartreuse Perfect Pennant personalized growth chart adds a simply perfect touch. (Room here)
What do you think, which of these is your favorite nursery design for boys? Check back next week for our gender neutral rooms with personalized growth chart pairings.
5 Fave Girl Nursery Designs
We look at gorgeous nursery designs all the time and love to offer up as many ideas for inspiration for our readers as we can. We often use colors or design themes, but today we just wanted to share a few of our favorite newest designs we’ve seen recently. Actually these are five of our favorite girl nurseries, and over the next two weeks we’ll share five boys and five gender neutral rooms too. We looked to Project Nursery, one of our all-time favorite resources for design, to uncover these decorating dreams.
We love how different these five girl nurseries are from each other, yet they’re all equally beautiful in their own way. Of course we think our personalized growth charts would elevate each room’s design even more.
Bright pops of color and Native American accents give this nursery a very creative, unique look and the Color Me personalized growth chart complements the hues, as well as the overall artistic feel of the space. (Room here)
Ruffles and bows add an extra feminine touch to this black, white, and pink Old Hollywood glamour style nursery. Shooting Star in custom colors and Soft Pink Preppy Pennant are two options of personalized growth charts that would work well in this room. (Room here)
This ecletic nursery is both sweet and soothing, and the Balloon Party personalized growth chartwould perfectly tie together the shades of pink, yellow, and blue used throughout. (Room here)
Soft and dreamy, this coral and teal accented room would get a nice touch of whimsy with the addition of the Cheeky Dot personalized growth chart. (Room here)
This room is a burst of color with gold accents and a midcentury modern edge and we think the equally vibrant and uplifting Colorful Words personalized growth chart is an ideal fit for it. (Room here)
We hope you love these nurseries as much as we do. Would you choose the same personalized growth charts to pair with them or would you choose different ones?
June Holiday Fun
As if summer vacation isn’t reason enough to celebrate, the month of June is filled with all kinds of national holidays. Some holidays are sillier than others, but all are good reasons to have some fun!
Here are some ways to celebrate June holidays inspired by our personalized baby gifts, big brother shirts, and big sister shirts.
What better time than National Aquarium Month to visit the local aquarium to see the wonders of the ocean or buy the wee ones their very own aquarium. (Shown: Whale of Fun Big Sister Tshirt & Big Brother T shirt; Under the Sea personalized growth chart)
Celebrate National Candy Month and Dairy Month separately or combine them by eating a big scoop of ice cream with chunks of candy bar in it (mmm, thinking about Ben & Jerry’s Coffee Health Bar Crunch right about now!). (Shown: Sweet Treat Big Sister Tshirt; We All Scream and My Town personalized growth charts)
For National Rose Month, a flowery art project is timely, as is a trip to a local conservancy. (Shown: Sunny Flower, Blooms, and Flower Power big sister shirts)
June 6 is National Yo Yo Day, the perfect time for the Kids Play Big Brother T shirt and Big Sister Tshirt, and if your kiddos are total BFFS, they’ll love wearing their big brother shirts and big sister shirts on Best Friends Day, June 8. (Shown: Under Construction Big Brother T shirt; Double Trouble Big Brother T shirtand Big Sister Tshirt)
Flag Day follows on June 14, a great day to wear red, white & blue. (Shown: Only Child Expiring Big Brother T shirt and Big Sister Tshirt; Taped Up and Batter Up big brother shirts)
June 23rd is National Pink Day, so rock those pink big sister shirts! (Shown: Something to Say, Super Sister, Chic Stylebig sister shirts)
And of course, the most popular holiday in June is Father’s Day. Don’t forget June 3rd is the last day to order dad themed onesies and tees. (Shown: I Love Dad, My Dad Rules & Best Dad Ever personalized onesies and tees)
We hope these June holidays, pictured with our personalized baby gifts, big brother shirts and big sister shirts, offer ideas for fun summer days with the kiddos.
Martha Stewart’s Outdoor Kids Party Ideas
Summer birthdays call for outdoor parties. And when looking for ideas for fun 1st birthday party themes, you pretty much can’t go wrong turning to the entertaining guru, Martha Stewart. We found a roundup of 11 amazing outdoor party ideas here and picked a few of our favorites to share. And of course, if our kiddos attended any of these parties, we’d be sure to gift the birthday boy or girl with personalized baby gifts that matched the color and/or theme of the party.
A carnival theme offers plenty of ideas for games, as well as colorful décor. We’d gift the guest of honor with either the Balloon or Happy Confetti 1 Birthday Shirts.
Fiestas are pure fun, plus who doesn’t love a piñata full of candy?! The Party One and Happy To Be 1 Birthday Shirts are also muy bueno and you can even personalize them in another language too.
Nothing says outdoors than a Flower Power balloon party in the garden. Balloon Bouquet Monogram or Flutter By personalized onesies with a tutu make festive, customized personalized baby gifts for this party idea.
For the boys (or girls) of summer, a baseball themed birthday party is ideal. Sports themed personalized growth charts, like the Perfect Pennant or Junior Varsity, are gifts that will be used (and loved) for years.
To get more celebratory inspiration, click here to see the other awesome outdoor party ideas from Martha Stewart. And don’t forget to give personalized baby gifts that complement the party theme.
Get Inspired!: Safari Themed Décor
Last week we posted about safari themed personalized baby gifts (here) and promised a décor post to help inspire you to get the look. Well, here it is! We’ve rounded up some super cute safari animal inspired nurseries and chose some of our personalized growth charts that would make the rooms even more adorable.
Animal print décor, as well as a mix of stuffed animals and wall decals, pull together the safari theme in this sophisticated warm brown and pale chartreuse green nursery. The Animal Crackers personalized growth chart would accent this room perfectly! (Janey Mac)
We love how chic, yet whimsical this blue and green safari nursery is, and would choose the Zoo Friends personalized growth chart to soften up the look in the room’s very geometric design. (Project Nursery)
This nursery’s design is a less literal version of a safari theme, but it has a colorful, fun vibe with jungle animal accents that will easily take it from baby room to kid’s room. The equally creative Doodle It Up personalized growth chart would only add to the quirky cool room. (La Dolce Vita)
The Growing Giraffes personalized growth chart makes a great complement to this nursery decorated with pops of bright colors and wild animal themed wall art and knick knacks. (On to
Baby)
The safari theme offers a wide range of style options, which of these nurseries and personalized growth charts fits your style?
