Her Room Is Coming Along!
Just wanted to share with you what our baby girl’s room looks like so far! As much as I would love for all of our family and friends to see this in person, we know that it isn’t possible, so we figure this is the next best thing!
It is still a work in progress, but we are getting ever so close! We are still looking to get a bookshelf and lamp for next to the chair, and also a pink rug for in the middle of the floor. Regardless of those things, it is coming together and we LOVE it!
We just picked up the chair this week (finally came in) and it is COMFY! It goes perfectly with her furniture. We find ourselves just sitting in that chair often, just daydreaming. Just today I found myself reading her books in that chair, and tears just started streaming. I never imagined sitting in a nursery, reading to our soon-to-be-born child. It was a moment I will never forget. Seeing Dan too, sitting in there, just looking around, thinking about what it will be like to hold her in his arms, just melts my heart! Needless to say, we are ready to hold this baby girl!
This week we also finished a little DIY project, which consisted of painting the letters of her name and hanging them with ribbon. Sorry, still not revealing the name, but wanted to still share this picture. The white sign on the wall with the verse Psalm 37:4, was hand painted by a dear friend of ours, Lauren. It has so much meaning and is something we treasure! Can’t really see it, but we have a bright pink polka dot sheet in her crib right now :).
Even though the furniture looks black in the picture, we went with a completely espresso theme and everything matches amazingly, despite all coming from different places! I made the curtains a few weeks ago (nothing fancy, but they work and I love the fabric).
The “You Are Loved” banner that a friend of mine made for a shower she had for me a few weeks ago. Loved it so much, and since it went PERFECTLY in our girl’s room, we decided to hang it. The saying could not be more true!
My other DIY projects! My DIY Baby Headband Holder and clip holder. I had some old fabric that just so happened to go with the room’s colors, so I repurposed it, hot glued some clothes pins onto it, and voila! The clip holder, I just made out of a picture frame, using the same fabric and strips of fabric to hold the clips. SUPER easy to make!
I will definitely be sharing the “final look” of the room, but this is what we have so far. I know, maybe a little weird to be sharing these photos, but I know I would be showing our families if we lived by them, so I want to share this experience with them as much as we can. I never knew I would have so much fun putting together a nursery. Yes, I like to keep it simple (shocker, right?), but adding personal touches is what I am all about!
Now, all we need is for her to fill that room with her beautiful face! Just a few more weeks!
