The Nursery

Before pictures when the nursery was our office. I probably shouldn't have waited until we had the room near empty before taking photos, but this is the gist of it.




AFTER:
Looking in from the hallway.



From inside the nursery:





After the baby is born, I have wooden letters from Hobby Lobby to hang above the crib to spell out the baby's name, along with some wall art for either a boy or girl from Babies R Us.


I found ribbon at Joann Fabric that matched the damask fabric in the crib bedding perfectly. It worked great as tiebacks for the sheers.


We were going for a gender neutral nursery since we don't know the sex of the baby. Hopefully I hit the target on that one. I started doing an owl and bird theme with the artwork. Birds are so hot right now. Kinda like Hansel.

Once I knew the furniture and decor I wanted to purchase, I kept my eye on the websites and stores for deals. Almost everything I purchased was on sale. It's a little tougher to score deals on custom orders and etsy purchases, but the rest you can definitely find sales, coupon codes and the like. If you have any questions about my nursery, please let me know!

What I've Got

The "office" has finally been cleared out, and here is what I have picked out for the nursery thus far...
The crib - Baby Mod Convertible in Espresso
The furniture - Canopy Six Drawer Dresser and End Table in Mahogany
Don't fret my pets, the colors match up, I verified.
The dresser will double as a changing table, and the end table will go next to the glider, which I have yet to pick out.

Crib bedding - Custom order from a seller on Etsy
This is a picture of some the seller's work, and what my order is based on. Chartreuse green and white damask, minus pink, since we don't know the sex of the baby!



My mock-up crib set. The reverse side of the bumper and baby blanket will be white minky dot fabric. Minky fabric is soooo snugly. The bumper will also have a chartreuse piping added to the top.

Depending on if the baby is a boy or girl, I plan to pair up either lilac or robin's egg blue accents to go with the green and white.

Since our floors are all hardwood, I will be ordering a white flokati rug for the center of the room.
Curtains still need to be determined, along with paint color. I'm waiting for my fabric swatches to arrive in the mail so I can pick out paint, which should be any day now! I'm also planning on doing a wainscoting on the wall with the crib.
Here are some wall decals I will be ordering in my color scheme as soon as my swatches arrive as well. These are from Etsy.





For a boy...

For a girl...


Are you curious how it's all going to come together? Then stay tuned!
