Modern Burlap + A Nursery Sneak Peak

First things first, sorry to keep you all waiting on the Pink Blush giveaway winner.  Unfortunately, back-to-school time often means I have little time or energy to blog--and last week was no exception.  The winner was notified via email, however, so that was a highlight of my week!  Congrats to Michelle E.!  I hope you enjoy a little something special courtesy of Pink Blush!  And thank you to all who entered!

Last month, as I was dreaming about our nursery, I could envision exactly what I wanted for crib bedding.  I wanted something black and white, simple, and with no theme (animals, etc.).  I found this XOXO crib sheet at Pottery Barn Kids, but there was no changing pad cover to match.  I found this Burt's Bees crib sheet with a matching changing pad cover at Target (and on Amazon), but I didn't love the bees.  So clearly, envisioning doesn't always equal finding.

But then I came across an ad for Modern Burlap as I was scrolling Instagram.  You know those ads.  They're always geared towards your interests, what you've been googling, etc.  They are usually pretty annoying, but in this instance, I was glad they existed.

Anyway, Modern Burlap is a small shop out of Texas that offers swaddles, crib sheets, hooded towels, throws, and changing pad covers.  I quickly fell in love with their signature black and white designs and fell in love even more when I started reading about their organic benefits.

The following was taken from Modern Burlap's website:  

What's so extraordinary about organic cotton muslin fitted crib sheets?

REGULATES TEMPERATURE! The breathable muslin fabric regulates temperature so well, so it is warm and comfortable for your little one year round! During the coldest winter months, it stays warm. During the hottest summer months, it stays cool. When your little one falls asleep in your arms, you can lay them down on a cozy, comfortable sheet for a great sleep!  No waking up due to cold sheets!

HIGHLY ABSORBENT! Our organic cotton muslin's open-weave design means superior, faster absorbency and fluid retention compared to rayon, synthetics, and cotton blends. It washes easily and dries quickly!  For a parent with loads of laundry, super fast drying time can't be overlooked!  Plus if baby spits up or leaks out of a diaper in the middle of the night (it happens, right?), that will dry quickly too!

BREATHABLE! Our organic cotton muslin is made with an open-weave structure that is lightweight, airy, and breathable. The fabric's breathability will reduce baby's risk of overheating and yield a safe environment!

INCREASED COMFORT AND SOFTNESS! The more you wash it, the softer it becomes!

...

I quickly ordered two crib sheets and two changing pad covers (always nice to have a back-up!) and I was beyond excited when they showed up in our mailbox just two short days later.  They are everything I could have hoped for, and more!

On to the sneak peak now, shall we?  Remember, we painted our changing table blue, added some gold hardware, and found the gray crib on clearance at Nebraska Furniture Mart!  I love how the nursery is coming along and can't wait to start adding things to the walls!
