Baby Girl's Colorful Nursery


To me, this is the perfect nursery for our little girl. Touches of Derek and my past, full of color and not too pink or matchy-matchy. My parents gifted us their comfy rocker and I had a good time finding pieces that would tie in that blue color to the rest of the nursery. Only a few items were bought new with many others made by myself or re-purposed from our childhood homes.

We still have to get her name decal over the changing table and order her PBK anywhere chair, but other than that it's done.

Enjoy!




Details on the below:
     - Upper left // shelf includes my brown bear and precious moments ballerina as well as my baby photo album.
     - Upper right // my mother's picture from when she was pregnant with me
     - Lower left // the framed cut out was in my parents bathroom our entire childhood and features a girl and boy. The hair accessory holder was Derek's shelf that was in his room growing up.
     - Lower right // another framed picture from my childhood of a little girl

Details on the below:
     - Two framed prints made by myself
     - Mobile // details here
     - 4 flower prints // DIY project of printing onto cardstock and modge podging them onto canvases


Details on the below:
     - I saw something similar on another blog months ago and asked my father if he had any Kansas maps. Even with a new Garmin, my parents still travel with good 'ole paper maps, but my dad was able to find a vintage 1985 map he didn't need anymore. I used modge podge to stick them on wood letters and voila! There is a city featured on the "B" which is where I was born and raised and Derek moved to when he was 3 and raised. It's a city that will always hold a special place in our heart and I love bringing that touch of our heritage to her room.


Details on the below:
     - Left // the colorful quilt on the chair is mine from childhood
     - Middle // I found a cheap lamp at Goodwill and spray painted it pink
     - Right // baby girl already has a gynorm wardrobe thanks to city-wide consignment sales, friends and family!

Now we just need baby girl to make her way into this world!

  30. Well, I'm beyond jealous of this room and the fact that you get a little girl. I hate to admit but I still have not decorated Tate's nursery. I know, #badmommy. I had some ideas but just never carried them through. I love this room! So many neat little personal touches. Great job! Can't wait to 'meet' your little "nameless" girl! :)
