Pom Poms Get Political: Or Pink Isn't Just for Girls

Hitting 30 weeks was just a little reminder that I need to finish up our nursery/playroom. I'm in the middle of many projects for this room...and I have to say, designing a room for a child/baby is so much fun.

Pom Poms have been quite the craze for a while now, and while I'm a little late jumping on the trend I still love how fun and colorful they are. So I put together a grouping...

I would like to say that this was a really easy project. But there is nothing easy about a 30 week pregnant lady on top of an 8 foot ladder trying to hang giant balls of paper from the ceiling! I'll spare you a picture. But luckily everyone survived, despite my frequent, "UGH, stupid balls..." outbursts.

As you can see, the fact that we are having two boys did not stop me from throwing in the Pantone color of the year (although, the decision to do so was made before I knew that Honeysuckle was the color of the year). And I refuse to believe that pink is just for girls...or that any color has gender, actually.

So there is my political decorating statement of the year. ; )
