Hey there! Hope you had a great weekend! I had a doc appointment yesterday (32 weeks!) and our Little Lady is doing just fine! So is mom! :) Looks like we will have a baby on December 26 or 27! That means as of today, we have 43 days left until she is born! WOW!!
As promised, I am back today to reveal her nursery! I planned this nursery for a while, and
as I mentioned before, having a collage to keep all my thoughts together really helped! So, without further adieu, let's get to the pics! Warning: this post is loaded with pics so grab a cup of hot chocolate and snuggle up! :) First, some detail shots: (I explain each pic underneath it)
Just to recap, this is the before color of the walls. If you remember, this was our guest room I first told you about
here. As you can see, we had been making the transition into a girl's nursery for a while and we were finally ready to paint!
The color I chose months ago was Martha Stewart's Aegean Blue from Home Depot. When I went in to have it mixed, I was told they were phasing out their MS line, so we had it mixed in Behr's Paint and Primer in one. It was our first time to use it, and my hubby
loved it! He said it was such a great quality and really only needed one coat (with a few little touch-ups). We chose a flat sheen too.
We had to let my Little Fella in on the painting too! He was so excited and kept asking all week when they were going to paint! He loves being involved and
loves to paint! :)
And how cute is he with his little roller?
We kept the green color (Glidden's Spring Leaf) in the closet from when it was the guest room, because I thought it would break up the blue and be complimentary as well. Love the way it looks with the blue.
For a side table, I chose this Martha Stewart 6-cubby organizer from Home Depot. I added 2 pink and 1 blue bin also from the MS collection. I love it because it adds even more storage to her room than just a typical table. More Storage is
always a major plus in my book! If I need more bin storage, I can always go back and buy 3 more! Those two stuffed animals on the shelf were mine when I was little! My uncle and grandfather gave them to me, and they have both passed away. Sweet memories! She also has some books on her shelf that were mine when I was little including my favorite,
Let's Go Shopping! :)
I found this sweet lamp at the Goodwill for $5! It had an ugly green and blue lamp shade with frogs on it, so I popped this sweet pink one I found at Walmart on there and made it more girly! My Little Fella loves that pull chain!
This is the gallery wall I put together for her! Almost every piece has a special meaning! The
CFC is her initials that my sweet friend painted for her! That framed pic that looks as if it's a blank sheet of off-white paper is actually a pic my Little Fella drew for her! It's a roller coaster and he wrote her name and his on there as well! So precious! The pic to the left says, "You make me happy when skies are gray." I also have one of those in my son's room.
In this pic, you can see my
button art I made for her room. Also the pic that says, "I am of great worth" was something my Hubby printed out just for her. You can find it
here on my Pinterest board. The large pink flower canvas in the bottom right was purchased at Ross for $10!
The feathery memo board was a Goodwill find and you can also see the sweet canvas my Little Fella did for his baby sister's room that I told you about
here as well. The other dark pink framed pic is of her initials all fancy like.
This ceiling fan was in Little Fella's room. He needed a bigger one, so we switched the primary colored blades to these sweet pastel colors and used it in baby sister's nursery! I think it's a sweet little touch!
Ok, so now that we have some detail shots out of the way, let's get to the whole room pics:
This is what you see when you walk into the room! I love the way the blue wall color looks with the dark pink curtains! The glider and ottoman was a Craigslist find! It is
sooo comfortable!! I absolutely love it, and the fact that it was light and dark pink, green, and yellow were perfect! I found the fuzzy dark pink pillow at Walmart for $5!
To the left of the door, we have the crib (away from curtains and windows!) I bought this bedding from Target online last year (Hey, I told you I was praying and believing for a girl!) on clearance! It was the jumping off point for the whole room!
The rug pictured here is also from Target (the crib is from Walmart Online). Everything for this room was collected over time and I love that I took my time and now each piece really means something and looks great instead of just trying to get it all bought in a hurry. The dark pink curtains on this window are the energy-efficient kind from Walmart. They also block out a
ton of light! I couldn't believe it! I went back and got a set for Little Fella's room too!
I painted the stem of a flower angled over each side of her bed. I then made these tissue poms as the actual flower and I love how it turned out! I saw this great idea on the Pottery Bar Kid's Facebook page. A lady had done this for her daughter's bed and I absolutely loved it! The pic is no longer on their page, but trust me, it was cute! There is a flower on each side! (I have her first name spelled out in pink wooden letters over the middle of her bed with some vinyl butterfly stickers, but for privacy, I have chosen not to post it publicly on the blog. Hence the reason the other flower is not pictured here. I hope you understand!)

The changing table is an old hutch I found, again, on Craigslist! It belonged to a man's grandmother and is solid wood! I had plans to paint it white in the beginning, but the more I looked at it, the more I loved the warm wood! It's also in perfect condition too, so that was another reason why I just couldn't bring myself to paint it! The little pink baskets came from Walmart. I love all the extra storage I get from having this hutch as a changing table rather than a typical one or even using a dresser.
The dark pink curtains came from Walmart as well. They aren't energy-efficient. No need to spend the extra money for those since this is just on the closet, but the color was a perfect match!
I found this cute little flower hook at the Goodwill months ago and decided to hang it inside her closet tucked away behind the curtain to hang her diaper bag on! I want to find 3 more to hang another diaper bag and a basket cover on. Anyone know where I can find them?
And here we are back at the door. The room is a little small, but bringing in lots of great pieces (hutch, side table, and closet organizer) that fit the room that also had lots of storage really helped in here!
I absolutely
love her room! I hadn't wanted to do a themed room like a Disney Princess theme or anything like that (not that there's anything wrong with it) but it kinda took on a theme of it's own when I got to putting it all together. My Little Fella said he was painting his baby sister a garden when he made that canvas art for her, and later I thought about that and how she is our Little Princess, so a Princess Garden theme for her room came to be after it was all said and done! I couldn't be happier with the way it all turned out!
So, what do you think? When people would ask me what colors I was doing in my daughter's room I got a few funny looks when I said light blue walls, but my hubby was my biggest supporter! He always told them I had a vision, and that it would look great! Every time he walks into the room now, he mentions how nice it looks. I love that man! :)
God bless!
