For me, the nursery planning started the moment when I found out this little bean, my third after having two boys, was a girl! I had ooo’d and aww’d over many a baby girl nursery before but never thought i’d be decorating one of my own one day. In my mind, I was always destined to have 3 boys! 
I knew right off the bat I wanted purple and turquoise, and I new I wanted chevron and polka dots… so I headed straight to Etsy for inspiration. Most people head to pinterest, I know I know, I’m just an Etsy girl.
I thought starting with the perfect bedding would be a good place to start and after endlessly searching I could not find a set that had everything I was looking for to save my life. Hmph. So I had to switch gears, I had to think outside of the box.. I went to a fabric site instead. After a lot of trial and error I finally came up with an inspiration board of fabrics that I knew I would love…. and the rest fell into place with the help of some seriously knock-your-socks-off vendors, a few fun DIY projects, and a lot of love <3

I wanted the room to be pretty, but playful. I knew I would be spending lots of time in the nursery, so I wanted it to be a room I would enjoy – it quickly became my favorite room in the house! There is a lot of lavender in nursery decor, but very little purple! When I found the purple sheets with the white elephants from Land of Nod I quickly grabbed them. Then the elephant theme came to life. My father-in-law and my husband painted the green stripes, which I knew I wanted from the very beginning. I found the purple ruffle curtains and various purple, green and elephant items along the way. But even with all the fun items I compiled for the room, something was needed to pull it all together. That’s where Grandma came in with the gift of a custom made quilt, which incorporated both the purples and greens and completed the nursery.

I had to keep in mind that we would be moving in less than a year. So, I had to keep the walls neutral and the budget low. But, I still wanted to enjoy the space.

We wanted a calm nursery for our baby girl. There were a lot of DIY projects, we’d say it was truly a labor of love :) We loved the way it turned out.

I designed this nursery for my baby girl due in January 2013. I knew I wanted some pink, but I didn’t want it to look like a pink explosion, so that’s why I choose blue for the walls. My husband and I spent about 2 weeks putting the board and batten up, and that really set the tone of the room right away. Next, I customized the bedding from carousel designs, and once the colors were finalized, I spent the next 2 months researching and acquiring the rest of the pieces.

This nursery was inspired by DIY, Pink, and modern little girls room she could grow into! Everything will adjust as she grows. There are also many small items that are very personal {such as the canopy above the bed is the Veil from my wedding}.

We moved into a new home while I was 26 weeks pregnant. I knew instantly this room would be our daughter’s nursery. I loved the natural light flooding in. It was pumpkin orange when we moved in and we quickly painted it a soft pale pink. I wanted a calm peaceful space and a room our daughter go grow with.I have since added curtains and the wall above the crib is reserved for her newborn pictures (yet to be taken).

Blue and pink nursery

I wanted to create a neutral nursery that color later could be added to for both a boy or girl! With the yellow and gray theme, I added a lot of other splashes of colors from items from my childhood and item I found online.

I wanted a nursery that wasn’t “too baby” and could grow with him with minimal adjustments until he wants to design his own.  The mobile is a recent addition.  

I wanted to have a neutral nursery for my 4th baby girl. I thought I would try and bring in some color as an accent at some point, but any time I tried to add a pop of color, I never liked how it looked. So, I kept it completely neutral and I love the way it turned out.

I wanted a nursery that was original, peaceful and of course a little girly.  I started to research for ideas and inspiration the minute i found out i was pregnant. The furniture is pretty simple. It’s the little pieces and accessories that  my husband and i loved finding and incorporating in the room.
