Mr. F and I may not have any babies, but that doesn’t keep me from ooing and awing over fantastically artsy nursery designs.  So when my friend and fellow art obsessive Kaitlyn, over at isavirtue shared pictures of the art filled nursery which will soon welcome her new little bundle of joy, I just had to share them with you!

I love the zap of color, texture and gosh-darn-happy this painting by Freyja Zazu hits you with.     I’m willing to bet that baby Patience will love to stare at it when he gets a little older and plays that age old game of let-me-turn-the-light-switch-on-and-off.

In the rest of the light filled space, Kaitlyn and her hubby have chosen to hang work that is meaningful and playful, perfect for an artsy baby.

Over the crib hangs a series of original illustrations by the artist for whom Kaitlyn works, Ted Harrison.  The works were created as illustrations for a children’s book about Harrison’s dog titled Maggie’s Magic Dream.  Perfect for a peaceful sleeping baby, kind of a visual lullaby.

On the wall above the ( awesome ) rocker, is a vintage print salvaged by K’s hubby from his parents’ garage.  Six sweet vignettes capture the bedtime routine of a daddy bear and baby bear.  ( collective awwwww! )

Above the dresser/changing table, which by the way, is such a smart use of resources, is a lovely little art wall filled with a collection of quotes and woodland themed prints from affordable sources like Etsy and BigCartel.  That little fox is grabbing my heart and so is the story of the inspiration behind the doe and fawn drawing.

I mean, if this isn’t the sweetest little nursery ever, then I’m a monkey’s uncle.  See more images from Kaitlyn’s art filled nursery and find out more about the design on the isavirtue blog.

PS– Congrats to Kaitlyn & hubby Jon as they welcomed baby boy Jackson on March 22nd!
