My husband & his mom are both very artistically talented. She's even written/published books on painting techniques & has made us some really beautiful gifts over the years. So whenever I let myself dare to dream of a nursery I always thought how wonderful it would be to have some sort of mural or piece of art by her. What a special gift from their "Gran B" that would be for the baby!
Early in the pregnancy I got kinda stuck on the idea of basing the nursery colours & theme on one of my favourite children's books, "I Love My Little Storybook" by Anita Jeram. I am always captivated by the whimsical, magical illustrations & the sentiment of being completely in love with your favourite story. So I half-jokingly mentioned to my hubby how nice it would be to have him & his mom paint a small scene from the book on the nursery wall. I honestly didn't think it would happen, everyone is so busy, but today they finished it, just in time for our due date next week! It is better than I ever imagined & am completely in love with our nursery!
