Nursery!

It has been forever since I blogged. To my defence, I have been sick and just not feeling up for it. Admist all the sickness though, I did manage to swindle my mom and sister to come to my house and paint my nursery and help me set up her room.

Words can not describe just how happy I am with how it turned out. You know, when you have this vision of how you want it to turn out- it can go either way. You adopt a new vision once it's completed with what you have, or you sit for hours on end, completely satisfied, in your new rocking chair- in the room you dreamt about it (for yourself) and revel it all in. And that's what I do. Sit in there. Read the boys their books in there. Spend as many hours as I can just enjoying the beauty.

Less than 2 months until my due date and I can't wait to get my little girl in there. Nursing her on my custom ordered chair, wrapping her up in the blankets that I spent hours lovingly stitching for her, and putting her to sleep in her carefully thought out bed.

Ahhhhh..... all in good time.

Here are some pictures of the completed room. I wish pictures did it justice. I guess you will all just have to come over and see for yourself :)

White shag rug, white wainscotting, and the new window- all details that I love :)

I custom ordered this chair to fit me exactly for nursing. The back is like a huge pillow that will be comfortable to sleep on and the material is a nice fabric. I can't wait for the countless hours I will spend rocking her on this chair.

When you pull down her blind,  I thought this saying was so sweet. It's in the colours of her room (pink & grey). The curtains are a linen grey.

Her crib, trunk (which was my grandmother's that we painted to match the room). Room colour is Benjamin Moore's Strawberries and Cream. The colour is just a tad more pink than the pictures show.

Her change table with a mirror to look at.

The bedding set was a mod podge of different items. The bed skirt is pottery barn, the sheets are a soft organic cotton, the bumper pad which is eyelet lace is from the local thrift store, and the blanket was made by me.

Some of the decor items for her room. I wanted everything to be silhouettes and not a whole lot of colour. The shelves were bought at the thrift store and spray painted white to match.

All the light switches and plug in's have these vintage covers and just matched so good!

Instead of going for a mobile above her crib (it covered the painting), I chose to hang above the chair so she can look up at it while I am nursing. It is hung by fishing line so you don't see cord.

My sister and I made this large canvas to hang above her crib. I fell in love with this saying years ago and always knew I would incorporate it in a big way if I was to do a baby girl nursery. The large canvas (is actually a tulip painting underneath) has a mixture of cement grey and dove grey for the background and the light pink wording. With help from Kelly I was able to project the words on the canvas and just paint them on.

Every nursery needs a mirror. Finding the right placing was a little more difficult. I decided right above the change table was perfect. Off the floor for safety but still able to use it.

The mobile hanging above the change table. Made from a large crystal ball, then I found a flower with glitter on it to put inside. It is beautiful and so unique.

Closer photo of her chest, which is housing the next size up clothing. The grey jewellery box is holding all the headbands and bows.

The lace detail on the bottom of her blind.
