My original plans for the nursery changed shortly after painting the room purple. It was just too hard to match the color to anything and it just wasn't right. So I thought it over and decided to repaint her room at about 30 weeks pregnant! I love the grey and just feel like its very classy and elegant. I love it.
The first few pictures are right after we painted it. We didn't have the other stuff hung on the walls yet so I had to take other pictures of just those details. There are a few other things we still have to do, but for the most part it is finished. We have the clear crystal knobs coming for the dresser, the chandelier (pictured below) has to be put up, we have a knew curtain rod holder to match the crystal dresser knobs, some canvas prints to go on the wall beside the crib and dresser and also a white framed mirror to go above her dresser.
My mom (who bought the crib) also went ahead and let me have the crib mattress and crib sheet this past Sunday so that I could one have the room as finished as possible and two so I didn't have to worry about loading it with all the other gifts from the baby shower this Sunday. I did not get a picture of the mattress and sheet, but it is a light purple and white chevron sheet.
I'm not thrilled about the glider because, to me, it does not match. If it were white it would look better, but I just do not have the time or energy to sand it and paint it. I did register for a white one, but if I don't get it its no biggie. I'm sure this chair will be out of the room in no time so she can have space to play.
The monogram initials I purchased from here and did spray paint myself. I love them. They turned out great and were shipped super fast. I also bought the shelves for the books (which truth be told- I don't believe they are for books) and spray painted them white as well. They started off black, but did not match everything else that was white. They wont hold too many books at one time, but its a good way to switch them out so they don't get old, left behind, tore up or colored in (hopefully).
The baskets and little things they are sitting on (have no clue what they are called) came from lowes. I originally wanted wire baskets to hand with nails or something, but we saw these and I thought they were adorable and would also match my plans that I have for her mobile that I am making! I needed somewhere to store diapers, wipes and lotions/creams and there is just not enough room on the dresser so the baskets work perfect. They are kind of low, but I'm not all that tall so I had to make sure I could reach them. I'm sure Tyler wouldn't appreciate me calling him in there every hour to get something out the basket for me.
The jars on her dresser have pacifiers in one and bows in the other. They came from TJ Maxx and they are actually kitchen canisters, but I thought they worked perfect for her room! Plus they were so much cheaper than buying the glass vases with the glass lids and I'm able to fit my hands in these a lot better than the vases.
The green chevron box was a Christmas present to me from my sister in law, but I love it for her room to put some keepsakes in. Like right now all of her ultrasound pictures are in there, but as she gets older I'm sure other things will be added. The chevron laundry basket came from walmart and instead of actually putting her dirty laundry in there which I'm sure I'd never do I rolled up all her blankets and put them in there. I have a really cute blanket holder, but her room is so small that there is just not enough room to add that in there too, so the laundry basket works great!
The white rug is one of my favorite parts of her room! I got it from Ross and even the dogs love it its so soft.
I will hopefully have a quilt made sometime between now and the time she gets too big to use it instead of the pink blanket. I just threw that on there because.. well just because.
My baby shower is this weekend and I'm so completely excited for it! I can't wait to get everything and start putting it together and washing all of her stuff. Soon my house is going to be running over with baby gear everywhere!
