We finally finished Emma's nursery yesterday. I am so excited for this room everyone! We both painstakingly selected each item and hung each piece in its proper place. I searched and searched for the perfect bedding and crib for her room. Something modern and pretty. I found it at Babies R Us and instantly fell in love with the grey and white look!
The artwork above her nursery were gifts from my baby shower and I made the yarn sachet for Emma's Valentine's Day Shoot. I wanted a feminine safari look without going overly babyish. I hated all the traditional nursery bedding that was at the baby stores. I found the bedding at Pottery Barn and got just the quilt and pillow sham. The rest of the set wasn't me at all!
The dresser matches the crib, and I love the chrome pulls and the grey changer on top. I found the chevron changing cover at BRU. Considering that greys are so hard to match, I was glad that everything coordinates so nicely.
In keeping with the safari look, I found the graphic metal giraffe, metal Emma letters and pinboard all from Pottery Barn. The pinboard was originally a table top piece, but I attached hangars to the back and voila....wall piece! It houses her pins from her trip to Disneyland, but I plan on attaching some photo's also.
I made a large hanging mobile that is in the corner between her crib and dresser that she can see from both locations. I didn't want anything traditional yet again, so I found something I liked and DIYed my own. Underneath is where I store her quilt that was a Christmas present, the white blanket that we take her monthly photos on and the horse that she got for Hannukah. This little chevron grey box was supposed to house her stuffed toys.....but lets just say that the cradle my uncle made me is now where it all gets stored now.
We thrift-ed a glider and it houses a throw pillow and baby quilt the my mom made her for my baby shower. Next to the glider is a little storage cabinet, and the chalkboard that we used for our bumpdates....yes it still has her birth stats...daddy wont let me change it until her birthday. If you recall from this post, her bookcase used to be black. We spray painted it grey, and it was the closest match to the crib that we could find, but I think its a pretty damn good match!
Her bookcase houses all her small toys in baskets, books, and various decor. I had a little bit of a book addiction!!! I have since stopped purchasing for a bit!
And lastly, one of my favorite things, besides all the other homemade items, is this piece. My mom made this for me and it hung in my room for many many years. She had it re-matted and gave it to Emma for her room.
There you have it. Our little one's room.....it's totally perfect for us and we spend lots of time snuggling, reading, and playing. We are blessed that she has such great place to call home!
