Back in 2010, after having two sweet little girls, we found out we were expecting our first BOY. Oh my goodness, were we excited! Not only were we going to have a little boy join our family, but we also had just purchased our first home! For the first time I was able to PAINT. THE. WALLS. We all know that's a big deal... after years of apartment living, I was no longer stuck with the kind of off white, not really cream, didn't really match anything color, that I had lived with for so many years. I carefully planned out my color pallet. A soft, soothing mix of pastels with little pops of red to make it fun and anchor the room.
A nursery, in my opinion, is as much a room for the Mom, as it is for Baby. It's our hideaway. A refuge from the rest of the (probably less than spotless) house. The hours we spend nursing our newborns should be done in comfort, and allow us to mentally take that break from life as well. That's exactly what I created. A soft haven of colors and textures that put my mind at ease.
I LOVE that red dresser, with the polka-dot white knobs. And the cute little white bench that- dual purpose- hides baby toys! Functionality, my friends. I swear by it. Most of the accessories were the result of hours spent at my sewing machine . I made the quilt, crib skirt, diaper holder and painted the dresser myself. The crib was a fantastic $10 find on craigslist. I know, right?! And I scored my rocker 50% off at Babies R Us.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. I can't believe I just wrote my first "room feature" post. Kind of awesome! And many more to come over the next few weeks! Have a FABULOUS day!
