I’ll admit it. I’m a sucker for a sweet, slightly vintage nursery theme. And a strawberry patch baby nursery might be one of the cutest ideas out there.
Strawberries just feel happy. They’re bright, cheerful, and a little bit nostalgic. The whole theme reminds me of summer mornings, berry picking, gingham blankets, and baskets filled with fruit. It’s playful without being over the top, which makes it perfect for a baby’s room.
If you want a nursery that feels warm, simple, and a little bit storybook-like, a strawberry patch theme is such a fun direction to go!

I’ve always loved lakes. There’s something about the quiet water, the boats drifting by, the smell of pine trees, and the slower pace of life that just feels peaceful. If I could spend every summer near a lake, I absolutely would.
One of my favorite places in the world is Lake Champlain! It sits between New York and Vermont and has that perfect mix of mountains, water, and small town charm. We’ve also been spending time on lakes in western CT and have found so much peace there!
