We are so excited to share pictures of our nursery - 2 weeks till Baby Gal Hanna's due date and her room is ready and waiting! We wanted to create a cozy and colorful place where our little lady can relax, read, play, make friends with a giraffe, and dream! Pictures, Details, and Sources below...
 |
| The pink blanket was knitted by my Aunt Susan - same design my Baba used to make for us - so soft/special! |
 |
| Sweet baby shower gifts line our bookshelf - including an elephant lamp, book signed by all the shower attendees, and a picture of baby's big brother George! The star/moon was a wedding gift from The Holden's for our future baby's room. |
 |
| books and a sweet stuffed NAVY puppy from my brother Robert (the baby's Uncle R) |
 |
| It's time to meet the muppets! |
 |
| The storage below houses extra sheets, towels, baby wipes and supplies |
 |
| Hand knitted blankets from Madeline and Nichole |
The room color is Benjamin Moore's
Van Deusen Blue - I was set on using this tranquil color regardless if it was a boy or girl - our blue continued with the Surya wool rug we purchased from
One Kings Lane. We "girl-d" it up with the pink curtains from Target's dwell collection and an adorable pink mobile from
HelloHucklebee on Etsy. Our biggest splurge (which ended up being partly a gift - thanks Hannas!) was the oversized PB Kids
Glider and Ottoman (ottoman is not pictured) - this thing is unbelievably cozy and we were unable to find anything less expensive with the same look and comfort level - we see it as an investment piece and can wash the slipcovers or even order new ones should our taste change. The
magazine style book shelf and books were a gift from my sweet sister in laws. The crib was a gift from my parents that I first read about on
Young House Love - we really liked the utility of a drawer underneath, the mix of white and dark wood, and affordable price tag for a crib made of real wood (order it
here). The dresser we found Patterson Antiques (here in Richmond) - we are using it as a changing table/dresser. Artwork is a cross stitched saying from my nursery growing up, personalized fabric hoops (made by my dear friend Boupha - more on that
here), a colorful print by one of my favorite artists
Caitlin McGauley (you have probably seen her adorable watercolors for Kate Spade, Lonny, among others), two muppets I made at F
AO in NYC, and a silver giraffe from Home Goods!
This room was a labor of love - can't wait for it's sweet occupant to arrive any day now!
