I started this post in December. Of course that was when I went back to work full-time so it got stuck in Draft until I could take some decent pictures. Anyway, the Nursery is DONE....finally. I had ordered few custom pieces that took longer than anticipated but everything is hung and decorated now. It's hard to believe my last nursery post was back in July when I purchased the
rug. So here is what things looks like today.
It is by far my favorite room in the house. The bedding is the Dahlia Pink Collection from Pottery Barn Kids. I purchased only 2 fitted sheets and the quilt although we are not using the quilt yet.
My work surprised me with a baby shower and purchase a video monitor for us which I LOVE now that Charlotte is sleeping in her crib overnight. Tim hates seeing wires so he rigged up the monitor to look down on the crib so that we could hid the wires behind the curtain panel.
I did not a mobile initially. My mom insisted that Charlotte have something to look at. I have no idea why mobiles are so expensive. I wanted one that matched so I went with the Bright Pink Harper Mobile from Pottery Barn. I saved some money by purchasing it off eBay though.
The chair is from Babies R Us and the end table is a Homegoods find. The lampshade and pillow are also the Bright Pink Harper Collection. I LOVE the monogram but it was one of the custom pieces that took a while. I ordered it from Etsy. I love the way it turned out and ultimately think it was worth the wait. It did not come until well after Charlotte was born but its not like she noticed. I purchased them through the shop
Simplymade. The "C" & " G" are 10 inch Victorian letters with the Pink Dahlia design. The "H" is a 12 inch Victorian letter with the gray lattice stitching.
The other custom piece I had done was the small sign between the double closets.
I ordered it from
CreativeTouchWood on Etsy. I had her customize it to the gray/pink color scheme and it turned out great!
We worked so hard on the nursery and I love that such a family effort. Tim and I painted the walls before we even knew the gender. Tim and my dad did all the moulding work. I worked so many hours sanding, painting and staining the dresser. Tim stained the shelves. Tim and my dad assembled all the furniture. Oh and my mom... she helped me shop! Little girl stuff it SO much fun to shop for.
So this officially wraps up the nursery posts! I must say it is a little sad, considering they started close to 10 months ago!
