Pink and Green Nursery

BabyGirl's Pink & Green Nursery

I really wanted to do my best to make it a bright and airy space

Lots of bright colors with a clean white backdrop so when she lays in her crib at night and looks around it's mostly white which I think helps her sleep better.

I tell you what, I had the hardest time deciding what to place on the walls.

They went bare for months.

Even after I had picture frames and canvases lined up again the wall ready to be hung I still froze

I didn't want to do the typical block letter name thing

And I really didn't want a picture collage or a mural

So I set out to create my own art because it's the only custom route I could afford

I didn't want to "over decorate" either because I wanted the room to grow with her.

Sweet Baby for now

More bold and vibrant later

I think it would be fun to wallpaper the top half of the walls

and add some white chalkboard paint disguised in some of those panels for instant playtime art

I also love the idea of keeping the top half white and adding her own artwork displayed gallery style covering all the walls

I'd like to get the art work framed with big chunky gold frames

{*hint*hint*}

Can you imagine how precious those two animals would be keeping watch over two twin beds?

 And because we all ADORE a good before and after I'll remind you of what this space looked liked when the ugly bomb went off before we moved in

{BEFORE}

I can't even think of anything snarky to say

I'm clearly not on my a-game today

BabyGirl should thank her lucky stars that I've got imagination

and was smart enough to pick a baby daddy that likes a weekend project

I'm just saying

{Disclaimer}

Just so no one thinks I'm full force Stepford (although I can't say I wouldn't take it as a compliment) I hid the big overflowing basket of toys in the closet and there's also a giant hamper of dirty clothes hidden from view

Oh, and I moved the tv into the hallway.

I don't want crazies giving me shit for overdosing my child on Baby Einstein

Matthew actually offered to mount it over her crib, bless his heart

I actually thought really hard about that one

but had to draw the line somewhere
