Nursery Reveal

For the nursery, I wanted something soft, pretty and feminine. I didn't want it to be too "baby", but to be a room she could use for a few years and grow with it before having to re-do it again. Right now we're living in an apartment, but when we get our own place I would like to have a chandelier and paint the walls a soft grey with white molding. Also, we wanted to repaint the bookshelf white, but we didn't get a chance to. It just seemed like too much of a hassle to take it apart, take it to my in-laws, paint a few coats there, and then transport it back and put it back together again. We're just going to wait until we move and paint it then before we move it into the room. I started out with an Alice in Wonderland theme, but somewhere along the way it kind of disappeared and now there's no real theme to it.

I'm really happy with how it turned out, I walk into the room everyday to look around and imagine our little bunny in it. I picture my husband and I coming in to change her, lay her down for sleep or picking her up from the crib, nursing her in the rocking chair. I can't wait until all these daydreams come reality.

Beautiful room! I love the monogram, the lamp is so pretty, and so is the pillow on the chair- where is that from? I love the idea of using the glass jar for pacis, so cute.

I love it! I think you did a perfect nursery for an apartment and for transitioning later if you are still in that apartment.
I can't wait to see the added piece after a certain date in June!

And Congratulations on your sweet bundle arriving today to surprise you before you expected her!!

Gorgeous nursery! I especially love the stencil over the crib, the glass jar with teething toys & the hanging pom poms.

So excited for your little one to get here!

Love how it turned out! It's so easy for a nursery to turn too "baby" so I love the adorable mixture of girly pieces in her room. Your post made me excited to get started on our nursery!
