Having a little girl is a lot more work than a boy! there are some fun crafts and DIY with boys nurserys but a girls nursery you can add the extra rhinestone or sparkle or tutu to pretty much EVERYTHING. this is what is done so far but we still have a lot of dazzzling up to do. We are also still waiting for the bedding, Auntie Jen and Uncle David are getting it. All her walls still need more art work too. I want to make her a tutu stool or maybe add a tutu to the chair in the corner of her room. Her closet still needs A LOT of organizing and labels.. if you know me i am no stranger to a label maker.
Her colors were originally going to be aqua and coral but we hit a few speed bumps along the way, so we have just been going with the flow. First the color coral is hard to find. Coral isn't just a general color, i knew what i wanted in my head, but finding it is something else. So then i thought we will just do all shades of pink. Next the aqua wall color. i went to home depot, found the color i though i would like and bought a sample. Came home but a little swatch up and it was perfect!! We go to buy the color a few days later and of course i'm impatient and cant wait so Josh and i paint the room. As it dries we notice its not like the sample but A LOT lighter. i thought maybe its still wet in a few spots we wont know for sure for a few days when its completely dry. Well it ended up being lighter.... I knew if i took the paint back to home depot they would replace it no problem but who really wants to repaint the whole room again? so we just went with it. Plus me being eager just wanted to get the crib put together. It had been sitting in our dining room in a box for a week. So plans still to do.
Tutu chair or stool?
A burlap and rose mirror (in progress!!!)
a few art works and a bunting flag above her crib.
some sort of rug. i love the look of the t shirt rugs but they are VERY time consuming. i need to get off the island and make a trip to Ross and rug hunt there.
And still have no clue what to do with the empty wall by the dresser.... at first i was thinking just a wall decal but of course the decal i like is $55. so i have been hunting on Pinterest for another idea........ stay tuned to find out what we come up with.
