This was originally Misty's idea, I think - back when I was dead-set against having a "theme" for the nursery. When I looked at Pottery Barn & other stores, all I saw were unimaginative, uninspired themes and garish designs - no WAY was I going to do wall-to-wall baseball/football/basketball knick-knacky stuff, all slathered in yellow and baby blue. Brilliant woman that she is, Misty suggested the idea of doing just a nature theme, with a bonsai tree as one of the main features! Once she got me thinking along those lines, I got very excited. Now we are (SLOWLY) collecting only the cutest, most adorable Japanese knick-knacks we can find - little stuffed frogs, mostly - and yesterday we found this beautiful bonsai. Peter is going to build some kind of shelf to protect it from falling into the stairwell during an earthquake. The nursery is officially my favorite room in the house!
