Welcome to Planet Hayden


Welcome again friends to Hayden's room.

It's been a while since you've seen it, so I'll give you a little refresher course:

You can take a look at old posts {here}, {here} and {here}. 


First it looked like this:

(These are pictures from our house tour before we bought the house.)














Then the house became ours and it was time to change things up:







Then we added a little paint:




and started to fix the fireplace:














Here's Hayden's bed with his Land of Nod bedding:

I love the shades of blue with the pops of orange.
One of the reasons hubby and I chose the name Hayden was because we were both fans of the Hayden Planetarium, located at the Museum of Natural History, when we were growing up. 

This bedding was a no-brainer for our little star gazer.







I am not a fan of the lamps on either side of the bed, but the boys love how easy they are to turn on and off.
They are those weird (or cool) lights where you touch the plate on the wall to turn them on and off.  For some reason it reminds me of the "clapper" from back in the day.  The jingle went: "Clap on, clap off, the clapper...." Lol. Yes, I am aging myself!



I'm thinking these cute shades from Pottery Barn Kids will make the lights a little cuter and go with the semi-celestial theme in Hayden's room.

I'm planning on switching this piece for one done by my talented sister in law, Donna Wilson.
Stay tuned.





Remember this nightlight from this post?




Now I need to get on the window treatments for these windows. I'm thinking of a navy roman shade to compliment the bedding. Nothing too 'kiddish' so that I won't have to replace them in 2 years when Hayden has turned into a big boy.






More pics to come.....

Also, Happy Birthday to Hayden who just turned 4 this past weekend. I am still in awe of how much joy he brings into my life each day. xoxoxo

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall....and dressers.. and tables.. and..

I'm a BIG fan of mirrors.  I think buying an amazing mirror can take a space from being ho-hum to over-the-top .  I also really love mirrored furniture, especially tables.  Here are some of my current favs.  Now, I know some of these are pricey, but we're talking inspiration here.  If these are out of range for you, you can always try a similar style at a discount home store like Home Goods.  Do you have a favorite store where you can always pick up great home decor? I think these would look great on either side of my bed Pottery Barn Park Mirrored Bedside Table or these Sarried Astrid Lamp Table (just sold out on Joss & Main) This would look lovely in my 'dressing room' in my new house Pottery Barn Park Mirrored Tower Dresser I MUST have this mirror Horchow Knot Mirror Talk about a MAJOR statement Horchow Janice Minor White Porcupine Quill Mirror Very similiar to the Horchow knot mirror Amanda Erin- Michael mirror-Currently

What are you Reading?

It's raining in NYC, which is quite welcome considering how extremely hot it has been the last few weeks. Days like these make me feel like staying home and curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee.  In fact, our new house has a porch (wish list item), so I'm looking forward to spending some time out there under a blanket with a cool breeze blowing over me with a glass of wine, book in hand (not sure how I can do this with two toddlers running around).  Wow! I'm really getting into this porch scenario.  You can tell I've obviously thought about this.. A LOT. This would be a good place to curl up.  Love the grey and yellow theme to this window seat/reading nook     Insert me here:  Image via Pinterest via google      I usually like to read something serious then follow that book up with more light-hearted reads.  A few years ago, I read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.  I have a thing for literature by Russian novelists.  With

Weekend in Review

Image
Hello there! It's been waaaaay tooooo long. So sorry for my absence, but my nanny/babysitter had a death in the family and had to go home for a week.  All of our back up babysitters-aka our parents- were out of the country, traveling for business or extremely busy at the office and therefore could not provide their usual assistance.  Luckily for us, hubby's company has emergency daycare that you can use 3 weeks out of the year for situations just like this.  I really have to take my hat off to parents who schlep their kiddos every day to daycare, summer camp, grandma and grandpa's house etc. before they head into the office.  Let me just say it ain't easy getting those little guys dressed and fed and out the door early in the morning (of course I have to do this on weekends, but there isn't the pressure of being late for work).  The boys ended up having a great time and enjoyed taking the subway every day, so somehow we survived.  Oh- and most important
