My Purple Pinterest Nesting Nursery Reveal

Her changing table and dresser area. The dresser was my great-grandmother's that I
have had for years. I painted it when my husband and I used it in our room years ago.
I knew one day I wanted to use it in a little girl's room. It was what I matched all my
fabric choices to. 

When I set out to decorate our little girl's nursery, I had no idea that it would become such a hands on project for me. I just couldn't stop once I got started. Basically every element and decoration I either sewed or crafted.

Here is the before picture. The room was set up as our
office and spare bedroom. 

It was most definitely a labor of love for me. Every time I finished one project, I just couldn't wait to start on the next. I think everything came together exactly how I had pictured it.

It would be really hard for me to pick out my favorite part, but I really love the sign above her crib. It probably was my most expensive craft, but I love seeing it from the hallway as I walk by her room.

The funny part about this almost perfect nursery is that she won't be in here much. She will actually be sleeping most of her time in our room upstairs in a pack-and-play since going downstairs for every feeding is not ideal and the room is so close to the kids' room that I don't want them to be disturbed either. And in about a year, I'll be moving everything around and turning this space into Calan's room and Calan and Maisie's current room into the girls' room. Kind of crazy, but at least the room looks cute for now, right?

The view from the door. This room was where he first had Calan before
we moved the nursery into the other room for him to share with Maisie.
I set it up differently this time and love the layout of the small space so
much more. 

I'll be hanging a black and white newborn picture of our little girl
behind the chair once we have our session with the amazing Rob Twilliger.

Here are some detail shots of her crib area. Calan pretty much destroyed the
crib railing when he was teething, so the crib railing cover is not only cute,
but pretty much was a necessity.

I am so glad this dresser is out of our basement storage and in her room.
It makes me so happy to be using it again. The drawers are filled with
her clothes, diapers, and blankets. It offers me so much storage. 

Here are a few more final touches to the room. The kids painted the purple
birdhouses on the dresser for her. Calan likes to remind me that he did it
for his sister. 

Each day this week, I'll break down the room a little more sharing my tips and inspiration for each of the projects. Here is what you can expect:

Tuesday: Crib area. I'll share the tutorials I followed for the crib sheet and railing, as well as some things I learned from making them. I'll also share how I made the sign for above the crib.

Wednesday: I'll share the window treatments and chair area, including the too cute lampshade and footstool.

Thursday: All things changing area. From pad cover to hanging totes to decorations. It is a packed filled area.

Friday: The wrap up and everything else.
