Emery's Nursery

Well her arrival could be any day so I figured it would be a good time to show you her nursery. Like I had talked about prior it all started with the bedding then just grew from there. It is a very girly room which I just love. It was hard to capture the in real life shade of aqua but you get the idea. Pink and Aqua is the general theme. I have to say my favorite thing in the room is the chandelier, it really wasn't to pricey ($90) but it makes the biggest impression in the room. I will never underestimate again how lighting can change a room.

So without further ado...Baby Emery's Nursery!

 

Nursery Project

Well I'm happy to report that Emery's nursery is officially done. There are a few minor things that need to be done but if she was to show up after Christmas we would be ready. Room wise that is :)

When it came to deciding how to decorate my little girls room I didn't know where to start, my dear friend Courtenay suggested Carousel Designs. The choices are endless and I fell in love with Love Damask right away. With the bedding all picked out I then started thinking about what I wanted for wall decor. I wanted to have something that would last more than her baby years, not forever but at least till middle school.

I found this on Etsy. I love the look of it and it even matched her bedding. It was just so perfect...except for the price tag.

 

I started brain storming and figured I could come up with something similar at a fraction of the price. I purchased three blank canvases from Hobby Lobby on sale and ordered a yard of fabric of the Love Damask. I cut the fabric than made sure it lined up just right by taping it first. Once I was confident that it looked good I stapled the fabric right onto the canvas.

 

Next up was painting the big canvas pink. I used a small handle roller and it went on nice and smooth.

 

I also found just the right aqua blue letter at Hobby Lobby to put on the canvas. I kept it simple and used heavy duty command strips on the E and it worked great.

 

So here is the final product,

 

Once I put it up in her room I decided not to add the white pok a dots. I'm in love with how it turned out. And in total it cost me around $75. Not to shabby.

 

Nursery Update!

Here is a quick update on the Nursery. We still have lots of work to do but we are off to a great start! My dad is restoring an old dresser to match the wood color of the crib and changing table. He's already taken one of the drawers to get started! The chair was a great find, it's a rocker/recliner, its super comfy and was pretty affordable. Many other projects left to do as well, like finding the right fabric for the window treatments (my mom's going to make them), baskets for the changing table , wall decor and finding a side table/bookcase. I'm taking my time looking around since we have about 121 days to go! Wow!
