We interrupt this food blog...

To bring you a Baby Break update!! We finally finished the nursery room mural and painting. We chose a Peter Rabbit theme for the room with a bedding set from Pottery Barn. Then I had my husband, who is a very good artist (not professional, just for fun) draw a scene from the Peter Rabbit books and we went from there. He projected it onto the wall and then we traced it in black paint. Then my mom and myself painted it in - my mom did all the hard detail work. She did an awesome job!! I can't wait for our beautiful baby girl to see it. Even though she'll probably be at least two before she really notices it, but no problem. Meanwhile, we're sure enjoying looking at it and imagining our baby enjoying the room.

I'm normally a lurker who reads your blog in google reader, but I had to say I love the nursery! I've always wanted a Beatrix Potter/Peter Rabbit nursery for when I have my own little ones, and that is just beautiful. All the best to you!
