Charlie Banks’ Nursery

First, his name!  Charles Eubank Moore.  Both are family names…Charles from my side (My dad, grand, and great grandfathers) and Eubank from Jimmy’s side.  His cousin Banks’ (Eubank) passed away the year before Jimmy and I met.  Both are very special and we are honored to name our first born after all of these people.  We will call him Charlie Banks and see how it evolves as he gets older…maybe drop the Charlie.  I thought his nursery deserved a post of its own.  My mom made all of the window treatments, pillows, crib skirt, duvet covers, etc.  She is so, so talented and I have really been putting her to work with the nursery and new house!  I love how it all turned out.  I found the main hunting/fishing toile online and we went from there.

Can’t wait to fill these frames with pictures of our sweet boy!

The “changing table” was Jimmy’s grandmothers and the rocking horse was Jimmy’s.

These antique twin beds were Jimmys sister, Kingslea’s.  They are beautiful and she is so sweet to let us use them in the nursery.  The paintings on the wall were done by Jimmy’s grandfather and are of his sailboat.

These letters were a gift from one of my best friends Mercedes.  Jimmy was in West Africa when we found out we were expecting and he bought the elephant and marlin to bring home for the nursery. The Peter Rabbit plate was a gift from Jimmy’s Aunt Nancy…it was Banks’ when he was little.
