Hush Little Baby

Baby Beth is on the way, and her room is ready for her.  If you remember in an earlier post, I shared the closet transformation in this 100 year old house.  The room itself was sort of a catch all, but no more!  I have included a few before pictures although the biggest change was the new closet.

As my daughter began collecting items for the nursery, her color choices emerged.  The room is very traditional with neutral colors of navy and white as the base.  She added pops of tangerine and fuchsia in pillows, throws and crib bedding, but the textures and hardware details make the room.


 I made drapes to match a purchased white with navy band dust ruffle.   

 On the left is the room before, and the right is the nursery now. 


I love all of the textures.  A natural sisal rug protects the wood floors.  The twin bed sports textures from linen, woven fabrics and a suede headboard.




We purchased the mobile on our trip to London. The soft clouds float in the air. 


 A few more before/after pictures of the room from various angles.


It is amazing what paint can do to change the mood of a room. I begin relaxing the moment I step into this space.  I cannot wait to rock in the new chair and sing lullabies to her.

Enjoy!

Oh Baby!

In an attempt to begin a more regular posting (summer has intervened :)),  I am combining this blog post with another.  Please check out Pea Picking for my latest posts.  Today I am sharing my daughter's baby shower that we hosted in our home this past weekend.  Enjoy!
