The Nursery

While I was in Florida last month visiting family, the hubs made some major progress on the nursery.

Before I left we bought a few paint samples (a light gray, a very pale pink, a more bold and sassy pink, and a very pale green-yellow color) and stared at them on wall in different lighting for awhile. I was pretty set on gray before we got the samples, because almost all the "inspiration nurseries" I looked at had gray paint. Tim was the one that encouraged getting pink samples, and after mulling over it for a day or two we both fell in love with the champagne pink color (pale pink)!

Not only did Tim paint while I was away (woo-hoo!) and purchase and hang the chandelier we'd been eye-ing,  he also researched baby furniture (safety, durability etc.) and bought a gorgeous white wood convertible crib and a white wood dresser. (He's the best). The furniture is so charming and looks adorable against the champagne pink walls.

Once I got back we also bought the matching changing table. Originally we had no intention of getting one, but after researching promotions it actually ended up being virtually free!

Here are some pictures of the pieces. The paint doesn't photograph true to color so ya'll are just going to have to come see it in person for yourselves :)

 

Oh, and the gray material on top of the changing table...those are the curtains we will soon hang.

In the coming weeks (or months probably) I'm going to add all the fun details to the room, including some gray paint stripes on an accent wall, artwork, bookshelves etc.

We've got our eye on this glider which we found at Target (online only) and Babies R Us. But haven't taken the plunge to purchase it yet. Won't it look adorable with the other gray and white accents?

One last thing, how cute is this owl that I had to snag for the baby girl from Pier One this weekend?

Super excited.
