I walk into her room and feel an instant peace. It’s so light, open and bright. I love it!
We decided to not find out what we were having. At the time of this decision we were living in a one bedroom NYC apartment and had no plans to move. I had no nursery to decorate which made this choice much easier. Once we decided to move back to Dallas I had the dilemma of decorating a gender neutral nursery.
The walls are Restoration Hardware Silver Sage. I fell in love with this color and also used it in our dinning room. In different lights this color changes so dramatically -- a sage green to blue green to blue grey. I cannot take all the credit for the mural, but I will take some : ) My aunt had her muralist draw the images on the wall and together we painted it. This turned out so beautiful, and even though it seems bold I don’t even notice it most days.
Her rug is from West Elm. I really love this rug, except for the fact that it sheds on dark clothes. I searched from something soft and light colored. And what I really wanted was a white rug, but could never pull the trigger! This weave and color actually hides quite a bit and is a perfect thickness to play on.
The dresser is piece my little brother acquired from an old apartment that I painted white. I love this piece! It is so functional. Elle will have this forever. I don’t know why people buy changing tables? They are so small and don’t always have great storage. I can store diapers, wipes, clothes, diaper pail refill bags, sheets and blankets in all the drawers.
I know, I know. Blah Blah mobiles are not cheap, but they are some of the cutest mobiles on the market! Put it on your registry and I’m sure there will be somebody who can’t pass it up! I purchased the bird for over her changing table and it was an instant hit. Seriously it was! From a very young age, Elle loved watching her birds. And since I’m such a sucker I went back for the lamby one to put over her crib.
Once Elle began sleeping in her crib, I needed a night light in her room. This maybe one of my fav things in Elle’s room. I love giving them as gifts too. It’s one of those things you forgot about when you’re preparing a nursery (or at least I forgot about it!). They also come in many different colors, animals, scenes -- great for a gift when you don’t know the sex of the baby too!
