Her book shelf and even her boppy cover were all to match the theme, the clock, and of course we had a blue turtle that glows actual constellations onto the ceiling, and the moon that lights up in all phases because we went that extra lol @britt_brooke now that we have Winter on the way, though, the new nursery is set up a little differently, still using the same theme, but will take pictures once we have her name and stuff done 😊

Her crib, we literally just put the bumpers on there to take this picture lol I was too paranoid to keep them on there. Same with the toys, but it sure looks nice when it is like this. @britt_brooke

britt_brooke I was always the same way, lol! No bumpers, toys, nothing. Such a cute nursery! Wish I‘d thought of the Starry Night as a theme for one of my guys. It‘s my favorite painting. 😍😍😍 7y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @britt_brooke mine, too! The Starry Night above the crib is an actual numbered piece my aunt gave me. It isn‘t a high or low number, but still... I absolutely love it ❤️ 7y

@britt_brooke This is one view from@when it was first done. Kaysen‘s name above the crib was hand painted by @QuothTheRavenclawNevermore and it is so amazing because the stars actually glow in the dark, even now two years later, and she painted the entire picture across her letters. She is beyond amazing and is going to do the same for Winter. I will post another angle, too. We had lots of little things to really make it ❤️

britt_brooke So cute! Thank you so much for sharing. Those letters are amazing @QuothTheRavenclawNevermore ❣️❣️ 7y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @britt_brooke of course! We loved the theme so much ❤️ and pictures don‘t do it justice @QuothTheRavenclawNevermore 7y
QuothTheRavenclawNevermore @britt_brooke @BooksTeasAndBookishThings thank y‘all 😊 I can‘t wait to paint Winter‘s 7y
jpmcwisemorgan I love this! I‘d love to have a room like this. 7y

Vincent‘s Starry Night brings to life the history of art in illustrated short stories, for children. This lovely book takes readers on a journey across the world, from Cambodia and Egypt to China and New York, stopping to tell tales of artists like Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Katsushika Hokusai and more.
