Nursery

We finally put the finishing touches on baby girl's nursery with two weeks to spare (technically anyways). I plan to add some photographs of her and us as a family above her bed once she's born but the room is all ready for her. it's the smallest room in our house and a sort-of odd shape but we managed to squeeze in all the essentials without making it look cluttered. I wanted the room to be as functional as it is cute, cozy, and safe. While I certainly changed my mind a few times during the decorating process (two painting jobs and different colored furniture top the list of changes), I am happy with how it turned out and I think it's a room fit for a little princess :)

Here's a look back at the room before we began converting it into her nursery. It was a second guest bedroom with some of my childhood furniture in it. The daybed has since gone to my grandparents house and the dresser was moved into the other bedroom.











And here's a peak at the room now. It's a nice pale shade of pink with espresso-colored furniture, soft brown curtains, a comfy pink rug, and some bright pink lamps to accentuate the colors in the bedding (the lamps were a must since the room doesn't have overhead lighting). We have some hand-made artwork and plenty of storage room in the closet to hide toys and clutter as she grows. I've got breastfeeding supplies tucked away in the bins on her small espresso storage shelf that also doubles as a nightstand since we didn't have room for a table. It's amazing what you can do with such a small space!

"It's a Zoo!" bedding - we won't use the blanket until she's over a year and no bumpers of course for safety reasons


Storage and functionality all in one!


Changing table/dresser combo - great space saver!

A friend drew us some pictures to match the animals on her bedding/changing pad cover - way better than anything we could've drawn ourselves!


Closet organization and lots of pink clothes!
