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

Ella’s Pink and Gray Nursery

Decorating a little girl’s room is absolutely endless — flowers, butterflies, bows…. If there’s an idea out there, we wanted to design with it. So, when we learned we were having a baby girl we knew we wanted to have pink, but we didn’t want to over throw the room with complete pink. Since we also love the color gray as well, the idea was to combine both colors with a white ribbon.

Nursery Blues, with a Touch of Yellow & Gray

Bear started out in the living room of our one-bedroom condo, but soon ended up taking over our bedroom and moving us to the finished basement. Because we’d already made a million changes to our home, I didn’t want to make one more, so repainting our bedroom for Bear was ruled out. Thus, I needed to work with the color of the walls as they were: a deep, vibrant blue. This is the result.

Elijah’s Tree Top Nursery

I wanted Elijah’s room to be something that promoted growth.  I read a lot of articles about nurseries, and found that green and trees/growing plants are healthy to have in a nursery because they promote wellness and development. So I went with the tree top theme.  I love all the little birds and owl accents in the room, and I love that when I walk into his nursery there is an immediate calming feeling about it.
