Working on nursery...






I have really been having fun working on the nursery and getting all creative...finally getting use my love of pastel purples and black and white damask patterns. Man if we had a boy, I would have been LOST on decor...but Claire is already getting tons of cute things for her nursery and Josh has been quite the builder...



Proud of my hubby! Our furniture is from Babies R Us ( dresser and crib )...Putting together the glider from Target...Can't wait to rock our little baby on this comfy chair!So, like I said, I'm going to do lavender, black and white in her room. I actually think Chelsea found this bedding at Pottery Barn Kids... I ordered stuff from there RIGHT away when we found out it was a SHE.... I have always LOVED purple...I'm going to try to not go TOO too purple on everything because Josh actually doesn't like purple, well that's what he said. I'm not sure he cares that much, but it's not going to look like Barney in there...it'll be classy splashes of lilac and lots of fun patterns in black and white.Here is Claire's first chair from Pottery Barn too... so perfect match! I can't wait to do the progression photos with her month stickers on this chair.This is just a shelf with canvas drawers from Target... and Shelby running by in a blur! hahaI'm thinking about getting this rug from Target...I'm not 100% because I kinda wanted a fluffy rug, but I didn't see any lavender ones, so I'll keep looking around.So, in Josh's plea to not be ALL purple.. I ordered this canvas painting from a girl on Etsy, still has the lavender dots and black and white, but also throws in some sage and teal... I really love it and was surprised I found something so perfectly Claire! Ok, my next dilemma was what kinda of lamp shade... should I do a black and white damask pattern shade... kinda like this, but not exactly... I have a few damask accents like a pillow on the glider, a picture frame and a basket that all tie it in....Or! I found these at Marshall home goods that incorporates the sage green and black and white, and looks eerie-ly similar to the flowers on her bedding...


Decisions Decisions!!


My next post is going to feature my first little arts and crafts project for Claire's room. I just finished a French memory board to hang in the room, it turned out great! It has sage green in it too... so keep that in mind when suggesting which lamp shade type!


Oh and the painter is coming Friday! Can't wait to get that done and share pics!

Her room is going to be gorgeous!! I am so jealous of how easily it is coming together for you, too. I really love everything you've chosen- it goes together so well. I would say go get that second lamp- it's really cute!
