A Nursery for Emily


That's right....we decided on Emily Elizabeth 100%! We both keep referring to her as Emily and that's the one girl name that we have loved since the beginning. It's funny because we had about 5 boy names picked out but only one girl name. The nursery decor is totally opposite. If is was a boy it would have been so easy for us but we have contemplated patterns, colors, themes for hours! FINALLY we decided on the above concept.
I created the collage above by piecing together different items from our registries and some DIY (Do-it-yourself) projects we plan on making. Here are the details about our Nursery in the works:
1 Bassinet - 75 year old Bassinet we are borrowing from Danny's grandparents Gene and Sharon. Sharon is going to help me make the bassinet bedding in a Yellow Toile design to match our bedroom set.
2 16 cube Organizer - I found this on Ikea for about $140! We want to get about 8 of those cube organizers for the bottom two rows for toy storage and then use to others for more storage and books.
3 Eaames Hang it all organizer - My mom brought us home these Hang It Alls and we love them!
4 Tree Decal - Actually Danny is going to paint the tree but you get the idea....
5 Soothing Sound Lamb - I love this little guy and hopefully will sooth Emily to sleep! (Target)
6 Robin's Nest Paint Color - We love this pistachio color wall paint! Not too girly and very soft. (Benjamin Moore #618 Robin's Nest)
7 Bird Mobile - I am going to make some cute birdies for the mobile:)
8 White Austin Crib and Changer Combo - Danny loves the changing station/crib combo and I found this super modern one for cheap! It is also a 3 in 1 and converts into a daybed, full size bed AND the Changing Station doubles as a nightstand! (registered at Baby's r Us)
9 Elephant Print Fabric - Sharon is also going to help me make the Crib Bumpers and Skirt! We are going with the elephant print for the skirt and a giraffe print for the bumpers.
10 Hot Pink Rug - I found this Hot Pink 4 X 6 rug at Target for $69.99, pretty good deal and cute!
11 Green Table Lamp - also registered at Target!
12 Dresser - We haven't completely decided on the dresser but this is my ideal style and color....still looking for the perfect one though.
13 White Rocking Chair - Mimi gave us her rocking chair a long time ago and we are going to paint it white and make a pad for it.
14 Birdcage - I got this birdcage idea from another nursery and love the idea! DIY - Buy a cheap birdcage and spray paint it....I am also going to add some of the mobile birdies in there too.
15 Family Tree Picture Frame - I saw this the other day at Target and immediately went home to add it to our registry. Perfect!
16 Bright Starts Bouncer - We love this yellow/gray look! (Target)
17 Little Superstar Step N Play Piano Entertainer - This bouncer/entertainer/excersaucer thing is awesome! (Baby's R Us)
18 Nursing Stool - (Target)
We have a lot of work to do on Emily's nursery, not including finding a room for her....Hopefully we will be able to move and get settled in before she is here!
