Vintage Lamb Inspired Nursery

Avalynn’s nursery is a girly blend of vintage chic meets modern timelessness. I strove to create a space that, not only defined my taste but that I also felt our little girl would be able to grow with. Neutral creams, whites and browns are highlighted with pops of muted colors, like earthy greens and pale pinks. We accented the color scheme with hints of gold and silver for a classy touch.
A gifted Pottery Barn quilt with sweet, little stitched lambs and the perfect baby shower gift of some of my very own Little Golden Books from Ava’s aunt aided in our decision to lightly theme the nursery with off-white lambs and vintage books.
I wanted a calm and peaceful escape where I could nurture our baby girl. As I planned each aspect of our nursery, I imagined a room that I wanted Avalynn to grow in. I envisioned the late night feedings, the early morning snuggles and all of the in between. I strongly felt that the most important aspect of planning her nursery was to stay true to my own style and to incorporate very personal touches.

Girly Chevron and Polka Dots

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

Annabelle’s Nursery

I spent a lot of time imagining the perfect space for my little baby girl. I wanted something soothing but colorful and fun. I knew I’d be spending a lot of time in the nursery in the coming months! While I was pregnant I did everything from the painting to woodworking projects with my dad to make the space special. It turned out just how I imagined and I love playing with baby Annabelle in the room every morning!
