BUTTONS!!!!

I decided on a theme for the "nursery" part of our bedroom!  And if you didn't guess, it's buttons. :)  Yup, no Winnie the Pooh, no Mickey or Minnie Mouse; in fact, NO trademarked characters if I can help it.  If my child at some point begins to have an affinity towards a specific character, okay, but I'm not going to start them out with a ...pre-conceived?... obsession toward a certain one.  I have also always wanted a sophisticated/chic look, so I am going with buttons.  They are colorful, cute, simple, streamline, and I personally think lots of fun.  You can buy a bag of buttons at the craft stores here, and I found a collection that has classy colors without being dull or neon bright. :)

Organized by color

I have fallen in love with these colors!  No baby pastels or bright primary colors, but a fun mix.  Raspberry-a little more pink than the picture looks, Sage, Peach, Yellow, and Grey Blue.  It's called the Shabby Chic collection.  Now, I'm not a fan of lots of....stuff.  Especially when I know that the baby will have plenty of it anyway.  Shabby Chic tends to use a fair bit of stuff to create the right look, so although I love the colors, I think I'll go my own way with it.

Here are a couple sites I've found that show some ideas of what I'd like to do with them...

Let me try to illustrate the nursery for you so you have an idea of what I get to work with.....

As you can see, I have about a 3'x8' gap next to my side of the bed in which to have the "nursery."  Therefore, very limited room in which to decorate.  I would like to hang the letters of her name above the bassinette, but any creative ideas are welcome.  Especially any simple/cute button usage ideas.  Ready.... GO!
