Celebrity Nursery: Dancing with the Stars J.R Martinez

Here is the gorgeous nursery for J.R. Martinez and partner Diana Gonzalez-Jones's new baby girl. J.R. Martinez is an actor, Iraq War veteran, and champion of "Dancing with the Stars" Season 13.  This nursery is so elegant and sophisticated and has great design throughout thanks to Little Crown Interiors.   The nursery will be featured in this week’s In-Touch Weekly which hits newsstands today!

The bedding is the Oilo's Freesia crib bedding, and the glider and diaper change pad can also be found at Oilo.  Oilo has a variety of chic baby bedding along with designer home furnishings that will look perfect in your home for an affordable price.  


Look at that beautiful red Oilo glider.  Most of the room is light and airy but the furniture is what pops and stands out.  The crib and dresser and glider are dark which brings your attention to them. 

Martinez and Gonzales-Jones said: "We absolutely love our Oilo glider! It is one of our favorite pieces in the room and has such a unique cool design that is actually very comfortable. Coupled with the very pretty design of our Oilo Freesia bedding, both are standout pieces that truly make our dream nursery extra amazing!”

Here is an image of the Naturalmat Handcrafted Coco Mat in this beautiful Little Crown Interiors' nursery.  This Naturalmat mattress is made with a variety of pure natural fiber which is great for the environment and the comfort of your baby. 

From the light hardwood floors, up to the beautiful chandelier high ceiling, this nursery looks comfortable and elegant.  I love the curtains on the windows and the accent wall which doesn't stand out too much from it's light pattern.  So beautiful.

Ruffle Nursing Covers from LaDy LaDuke

After seeing these beautiful styles of nursing covers from LaDy LaDuke, I don't think I will ever buy just a basic nursing cover again.
 At LaDy LaDuke, they have over 25 unique styles of nursing covers that cover front, side, and back from their Feeder Frock Breastfeeding Covers, Nouveau Nursing Covers, Plus Size Covers, and just FRONT Cover Feeder Frocks if that is what you prefer.  You can also find different products from maternity clothes, nursery decor, and other baby accessories. Come check out their LaDy LaDuke ETSY shop for all of their products. 

Breastfeeding Nursing-The Feeder Frock Baby Nursing Cover

Have you ever been in the middle of feeding your baby and wish you could get up or do something, but you were afraid you would expose yourself?  The Feeder Frock at LaDy LaDuke helps you cover not only your front, but sides and back so you could keep comfortable when you nurse.  Feel free to stand, sit, or nurse whenever you are wearing one of these amazing feeder frocks.


I love this Feeder Frock with Bow Tie Pocket.  All of the feeder frocks are an original design, there are two panels that go over your head and rests on your shoulders. The back panel goes down your back and wraps around your sides for a comfortable nursing.
I love the front panel neckline which allows you to bend and shape as much or as little as you want.  It is the only nursing cover that has custom memory wire so you can feel comfortable.
If you are looking for just a FRONT Coverage Feeder Frock, LaDy LaDuke has those as well! It comes much wider than a normal nursing cover, it is 39'' wider and covers your front and side.  Can you believe they even have a flannel option to keep you warm if you need it. 

Breastfeeding-Nouveau Nursing Cover Maxi Dress PREMIUM Cotton-Full Coverage

You can also find shirts and dresses (such as this maxi dress) that allows full coverage while feeding your cute little baby. The front ruffle has a hidden slit that allows you to comfortably nurse, this can also be ordered in many colors from size XS-L.  


With so many designs and many fabrics to choose from, now you can nurse and enjoy full coverage!  Do you have a favorite color or pattern? Check out LaDy LaDuke

Loressa's Hand Painted Tree Nursery

Loressa from http://www.lifescuriouswisdom.com shared her beautiful baby girl nursery. She did such a great job, especially with free hand painting this amazing tree mural.    The walls in the back are lavender and the tree is a chocolate brown.  If you look closely, you can see the growth chart at the trunk of the tree.  So cute.

Here is a close up of her amazing work.  She first went through and created the trunk and branches, then went through and cleaned them up.

My favorite thing about the tree mural is the double sided paper flowers she created and put up on the wall. She placed a button in the middle and I love how she shaped the flowers as well, I couldn't even tell they were paper. 

This was done so well.  It might sound scary to free hand your artwork on a wall, but if you have a sketch of how you want the image to look and feel comfortable, you can start creating the shapes and image on the wall and go back to create a clean line.

Look how cute these hanging books are.  This is so cute and such a fun idea. 
Thanks so much for sharing Loressa! What a cute nursery for your new little one, I know she will love it!

Brenna's Beach Baby Shower

Brenna had a great Beach Baby Shower that I asked her to share with us.  What a cute theme and the location was perfect, Florida Keys.  Check out her cute baby shower below and her blog at: http://www.perfectlyimperfectmom.com.
My baby shower was probably one of the best parties I have ever had. My parents decided to throw me a huge shower because my husband and I a tiny wedding in Vegas and this baby was a huge deal for my family. 
My husband and I had been trying for this baby for over a year and he would be named after my Grandpa who was the most amazing person. We went with a beach theme since my family is slightly (read: completely!) obsessed with Key Largo. My Grandpa took us there all the time as kids so it was very fitting. For the decor we stuck with the obvious beachy theme items such as shells, beach balls and lots of aqua!


My parents home was probably the best place to throw my shower, since we are obsessed with the Keys, their home is completely tropical theme. They have sail boat paintings on the walls, a tiki covering their patio and a gorgeous pool. Their patio also has dock posts surrounding it to make it look like you are on a dock. The funniest and most popular item at my shower was a Margarita machine. I remember my Dad calling me a few days before the shower saying, "now don't get mad but I got you a surprise." I said "uh oh what is the surprise?: And he said "A margarita machine!". I laughed and told him that isn't a surprise for me but for him and everyone else who isn't pregnant. A fun treat for those non-drinkers was a fun candy station that was a big hit though! 





Prior to my shower I knew I wanted to keep the game playing to a minimum since we were having a co-ed shower and I wanted it to feel more like a get together then an actual shower. We decided to do two games. The first game was the guess how big my belly is. The funny part about this is my gay friend Jimmy and my best friends boyfriend both won. I thought for sure a woman would win that one. Then we played the beer in a bottle game. Whoever drank it fastest would win. The funny part about this? My friend who had a baby 2 months earlier won that! We thought for sure a guy would win. After some fun games, lots of food and treats we opened presents. We were so blessed to receive some very generous gifts. We could not have planned a better shower ourselves. We are so grateful to our families for being there for us and showing so much love for our son.

My sister got these amazing cupcakes that had chocolate shells on top. They looked like real shells, I mean how crazy is that? The cupcakes were from Three Mom's Bakery, an amazing team of women who baked the most beautiful cupcakes and do charity work as well. I loved that my sister found such a wonderful company to work with.
