Nursery- Before and After

For the last several months, Nick and I have been working on the nursery.  We knew we wanted something fairly neutral and calm.  We both love the way that it turned out!  Before we get to the good stuff, here are some before pictures.  Just keeping it real-  this room was pretty much a junk room/ storage space up until Christmas break when we finally cleared it out and painted.

Before-  no closet doors, bright blue inside closet...

And now for the after-

My MIL Chris and I found the fabric for the curtains and fell in love with it.  It provided the inspiration for the rest of the room.  Nick and I painted the walls a neutral tan color (as well as the inside of the closet).  We (Nick) also hung doors on the closet which makes a huge difference and switched out the ceiling fan for a chandelier.  I found the chandelier at a yard sale and Nick spray painted it for me.  I hung little crystals on it to finish it off.

Chris made the curtains and I just love the way they turned out!

I made the bird mobile one weekend when I needed a project.  The birds are cut from card stock and hung from a branch from the yard.

I found some free printables online and we printed and framed them for above the crib.

The crib was actually mine from when I was a baby!  My dad saved it for us all these years.  Nick cleaned it up and painted it.   We also added a fluffy rug that makes the room so cozy!

I love how calm and relaxing this room is!  I love just siting in the rocking chair and day dreaming about the baby and what she will be like.  This quickly turned into my favorite room in the house!  I love how everything came together.

It is all ready for whenever she decides to make her appearance!

Me and baby at 40 weeks- on my due date.  

We are ready whenever you are!
