Blake's Nursery

Baby girl's nursery is pretty much finished. We are still waiting on our new monitor to come in and I plan on framing a few of our family pictures after she arrives, but other than that we are all set! She seems to be quite cozy in there so maybe... just maybe... showing off a few pictures of her new room will get Blakely to evict her current resting place and upgrade to this one! A mama can dream right?!

As mentioned before my sister made the mobile and it is my ABSOLUTE favorite piece of the nursery. I already had the gold frame and "A" and I was able to find the other two initials in a pretty similar finish for her monogram.  One of our big gifts from my parents was the Pottery Barn baby bedding. I felt that the coral made too much of a pop when you walked into the room so I actually turned the bumper facing inwards and it made a huge difference! I love the white against the Jenny Lind crib. 

The glider and ottoman were a STEAL off a local mom swap page for $80. They had some staining, but nothing a little blue Dawn dish soap couldn't solve. They look brand spanking new. Her dresser/changing table was also a $40 Craigslist purchase we made when we were first married. Its been sitting in our guest room unused for the last 5 years. My mom and I used chalk paint to ombre the front. The bottled color was the darkest shade and we mixed in white to lighten the base color for each drawer. The pop of paint along with brand new knobs completely transformed it. 

It won't be long now...  all this precious little room needs is a Blakely. Come on girlfriend!
