Baby Girl Nursery Tour

We're just about to that "any day now" phase, so I am excited to share our little girl's nursery tour! Of course, she'll be with us in her bassinet for the first few months, but I'm happy to have this sweet room as a home base for all of her things. 

I was fell in love with these mini ombre rainbow wall decals on Pinterest months ago, and ordered them before we even bought our house this summer. The muted rainbow theme grew from there, and the room was already a sweet peach color, so we decided to keep it. I used a Magic Eraser to clean up some scuffs, but it really didn't need any additional touch-ups. 

Much of why I love this room so much is all of its personal touches. My mom custom made the hand-braided wool rug in our color palette, and it really ties the space together. The cane rocker is a hand-me-down from my parents, an antique that has been in our family for some time.  

I purchased this vintage wicker bassinet on auction for $1 and upcycled it in white chalk paint. It has seen better days, so it's not up to actually holding the baby, but it's perfect for storing blankets, toys, and stuffed animals (including a Raggedy Ann, another family tradition). 

There are more meaningful tokens in this sweet corner. The dresser (which we'll use as a changing table) is a hand-me-down from my grandmother, who painted the bee and flower stencil. Above, we hung a group of Winnie the Pooh illustrations drawn by Sean's grandfather. Next to the dresser, my childhood American Girl dolls are camped out in an antique children's rocker. 

We displayed the cute clothesline guest book from my baby shower above little girl's dresser. The final piece was to hang some shelves for our growing collection of books—some classics and some we'll discover for the first time. With the nursery officially done, I think we're ready for her arrival. It makes me so happy to walk by this space and picture what she'll be like, and how her energy will fill our home...soon!
