I wanted to create a look that was feminine and whimsical and that blended elements of both old and new. I also wanted the room to be bright and cheerful and reflect the energy my little girl will undoubtedly have.
I scoured Craigslist, antique stores, and re-purposed several things I already had on hand and then combined that with some great new pieces I found along the way. I also was fortunate to have a mom who loves to sew so all the bedding and bunting flags were made by her with love at a fraction of the cost it would be to buy something custom made.
The most important aspect of this room was I only put things in it that were perfect and I absolutely love. It often took longer or resulted in my husband having to build something for me, but the result was a room that is perfect for the sweet little girl who will hopefully be born soon!

those vintage-looking alphabet blocks are nice. i also like that shelf above the dresser and the night table, too.

I’m a little obsessed with your bed skirt. Was it hand made or did you buy it? Absolutely stunning nursery!

It was handmade – the pattern is linked to above in my description. I didn’t do it, my mom did. :)

It’s a Benjamin Moore color that we took to Home Depot to use Behr Premium Ultra paint – the best!!!
