The nursery is done! Literally, truly, wholly done. The last thing we were waiting for was a print of one of our maternity photos to frame, and now that has arrived and we've hung it. And every little detail is in place.
And that means that, at last, I can show you photos of our work. You guys, this is the first room that I have ever DECORATED, like with a VISION and a PLAN. There's no theme, per se, other than "turquoise walls and yellow accents," but I am SO HAPPY with how it came together. Torsten and I both love this room. So does Montana, for that matter. And we can only hope that Piglet will as well.
Let's all just refresh our memories as to how the room looked when we got started:
And here it is now, from the very same doorway:
And another angle:
Prints from one of my favorite Etsy sellers:
Decals over the crib:
And the bookshelf (that stuffed lamb on the top shelf belonged to my uncle Michael, after whom Piglet will get his middle name):
Now all we need is a baby, and then the room will REALLY be complete.

ReplyDeleteOMG. SO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteI love it ... I love the aqua and yellow. Never thought of those two together but they look GREAT! Its not really very little boyish at all. I love the trucks, planes and trains ... but sometimes it's refreshing to NOT see them.
GOOD JOB. love it!
Presh!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out BEAUTIFULLY! You should be proud of yourself!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out really cute. I like how you are using the closet as kind of a nook.

ReplyDeleteWow, you have done a fantastic job with this! I love everything about it - and you have German books plus Sophie the teething giraffe, awesome!!
ReplyDeleteOh Jess. It is so perfect and complete. It makes my heart ache a little. Ok, A LOT. I just think that time before the baby is born is so wonderful (maybe just to think back on). You've done a fantastic job. He is one seriously lucky little dude. And my FAV part? Obviously, the C is for Car print :-) LOVE.
ReplyDeleteOH MAH GAH. LOVE THIS. it's adorable. seriously adorable and totally perfect. yay!!

ReplyDeletexox
The room looks great!
ReplyDeleteSo I don't think I've commented (much) but I've been following your blog forever (is there a non creepy sounding way to say that?!) but I needed to tell you how absolutely GORGEOUS that nursery is! I am in love with those colors together. I love love love how you got a perfect balance of not being too babyish and not looking too grown up. Perfect for a baby, but it will also be perfect for a little boy too. It really looks like something out of a magazine!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, it's fantastic! Like something from a magazine. You guys did an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteOh! So pretty! I love the color turquoise SO much. It's so bright and happy and vibrant, yet peaceful at the same time.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Piglet's room!!
Wow! That is an amazing transformation. Very creative!!
ReplyDeleteso cute!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out SO BEAUTIFUL.
ReplyDeleteEvery day I keep thinking, "Today could be The Day!"
I absolutely love your color scheme! It all pulls together so well, and I can't wait to see pictures of Piglet enjoying his room!
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party, but I love Fritz's room! The colors, the lack of a theme but still cohesiveness of it, everything. You done good work, mama!
ReplyDeleteEeeee! SO STINKING CUTE. I love it. It's like the perfect little boy room. I'm sure Piglet will be very at home/peaceful? (keeping fingers crossed)! there.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! Do you mind sharing where you got your white dresser and bookshelf -- we are doing white furniture as well, but the dresser has been hard to find.
ReplyDeleteEmily: Of course, I'm happy to share! The bookshelf is from Target (currently on sale!), though I should warn you that it is sliiiightly off-white and therefore not quite the same shade as the other stuff, which doesn't bother me at all but would probably bother some people: http://www.target.com/Mori-5-Shelf-Bookcase/dp/B001U4ZSZM
ReplyDeleteThe dresser was a splurge (and a gift from my parents), from Land of Nod: http://www.landofnod.com/family.aspx?c=42&f=5125
I hope that helps! Have fun shopping!
