OK, I'm finally ready to share off all of our hard work.
It's still not "100% completed"
but I want to share how much we've done,
and how prepared we are for lil miss.
I tried to include as many links as possible for things I've purchased...
We are very proud of our nursery.
I truly believe it's a beautiful reflection of both my husband and I
and perfect for our little bambina!!
We just love going in there and cannot wait to bring her home to it!
My husband didn't want me painting or really lifting a finger
when it came to working on the nursery.
I didn't put up much of a fight, since I knew
I'd be able to spend my time searching for organizing essentials

and decor.
As soon as we found out we were having a girl,
he went right to work!
He primed the walls...
He primed the walls...
Removed the dirty old green carpet.
It was like 90+ degrees and this man worked his tail off.
He wonders why I already tell him he's a great daddy.
Picked out "Fun Yellow"
and painted her room.
We also chose that carpet--a neutral.
Before and after
We took the doors right off, since they were the annoying sliding ones.
I wanted it all open so I could view all her cute items anyway.
Slowly starting to stock the goodies...
I searched high and low looking for perfect organization.
I thought it'd double as baby stuff storage
and her little library.
I cannot wait til her little hands can grab those books.
And this is her closet today!!
Her clothes are washed and hung according to size.
I bought the fabric storage bins at Target for the organizer.
The basket underneath that holds her cloth diapers,
for when I'm ready to take that plunge!
{Baskets are from Jo-Anns and my mother-in-law lined them with fabric}
Can you stand all of her clothes??
Of course she's already a fashionista in the making.

We purchased her crib and changer dresser from Buy Buy Baby.
The crib converts to a toddler bed, then a full size bed.
Her mattress is also from Buy Buy and it's organic.
Her gorgeous bedding was designed by me
and sewn by Grandma D!! {Mama-in-law}
Letters made by my friend Ann--she used scrapbook paper to match!
Her name plaque was made by Nana (my step-mom Tricia)
The color pops with the yellow and fits perfectly above her door.
Another view
And the gorgeous Tu-tu outfit for her newborn photo sesh from my mom!
Nightlight I custom ordered from Angela at
Switch plate I ordered from etsy
My glider!!
From Buy Buy Baby.
Gifted from my dad and step-mom.
The little white stand I bought years ago when I owned my own house.
I think it was from Wal-Mart.
I just wanted a little "nursing station".
I ended up moving the lamp to the changing dresser.
It's from Target.
I made a little video on my iPhone...
I apologize it's not the greatest quality but it's something.
I am over 37 weeks prego and out of breath easily!!
Feel free to leave a comment for any of my questions I ask in the video.
Thanks and have a great day!!
It is so gorgeous! The video won't load for me probably because I'm on the school's wifi. Ugh. So I'll watch it later!)

ReplyDeleteShe is one lucky girl. This is gorgeous! My two favorite things: the Eiffel Tower lamp and the little owl on her bookshelf drawer. Oh...and the name sign your step-mom made. So three things!
ReplyDeleteBaby Brooke is so lucky to have such a great mom and dad already!! There are two things I really love: the Eiffel Tower lamp and the owl on the bookshelf drawer. Oh, and all the personalizations for her name. So more than two! Absolutely beautiful nursery.
ReplyDeleteLove it! That is a great idea for bookcase in the closet- might be stealing that! We are looking at gliders at Buy Buy Baby after Christmas. I love yours!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe all of her "stuff". Brooke is one spoiled little gal already. The nursery looks fabulous, great job
