Little touches

A couple of small details for the nursery arrived today, the Cuddlesome Fox from Anthropologie and an orange box fan from Target.  Certainly not earth shattering news, but worth posting because I always find it satisfying to add little touches that warm up a space without spending too much money or exerting too much effort.

I wanted to get a small box fan for the nursery after reading that it can reduce the risk of SIDS (something about air circulation I think), and because the room is both fairly warm and devoid of a ceiling fan.  The chandelier in there is WAY too cute to be replaced, so table top fan it is.  At Target I found a reasonably priced ($15 on sale) little fan that came in a variety of fun colors, and after lots of scrutinizing, decided orange would be a fun pop.  It might also tie into the fox mural nicely (once that is painted, of course), and what little Gator doesn't love some orange with her blue?  The picture is a little washed out, but here it is on its new living space:

Ta-da!

Here is a longer angle of how it will (hopefully) keep the air circulating above the crib without blowing directly on her.  Special bonus: white noise that doesn't turn off after 45 minutes.

You also get to enjoy the finish on the dresser from this angle, so scrumptious!

The little plush fox is from Anthropologie and I have been eyeing him for a while, as seen in my "Gettin' Foxy" post.  He is super cuddly and looks darn cute on the glider, if I do say so myself!  He looks just like the fox that will be in the mural too, so it seems we have a bit of a fox theme going on already.  Not sure if he's safe for the Bun for at least a little while, but I know that I will enjoy him lots until she gets her turn!

Don't you just want to snuggle up in there?!


And so nursery progress continues, slowly but surely.  I think I like it this way, nursery decorating has been one of my favorite parts of being pregnant, and I know I'll be a little sad when there is nothing left to tweak.  Because of that, maybe I'll never truly let myself be done in here!
