Our sweet little Eloise is already one week old, time flies when you’re so in love! π I’m excited to finally share her nursery, even though it’s not quite finished. I still have to find & hang curtains, hang a small gallery wall above her dresser & finish the letters for her name that will go behind the glider. The rest is complete for the most part & I am so happy with the way it came together!!
The whole room was based around a painting that I made when I decided that I wanted to use purples & golds for her nursery. I love that she has a little unique piece of art in her room, I will never forget painting it on the entryway floor this winter while she was still in my belly, excited for the day that she would finally be here & lay in her crib looking at it.
The sweet people at Urban Walls generously offered to send us a gold heart wall decal, I had been in love with them forever & was so excited to put one in the nursery. I’m going to blame it on user error, but sadly we couldn’t seem to get it on the wall quite right, but it was so beautiful that I decided to paint one in it’s place. I used Martha Stewart Gold Metallic paint & just sketched the heart with a pencil on the wall. It’s far from perfect but I am still so happy with it! π
I collaborated with my sweet friend Erin at Candy Kirby Designs to turn my painting into a fabric, which we then used as a changing pad cover! The Evie Collection (named after big sister Harper’s middle name Eve) turned out beautifully & I am in love with the swaddles & hats that she created.
The crib, glider & changing table were all from Harper’s nursery. The dresser was another craigslist find for under $100, we fixed a few of the drawers & updated the knobs. It is the perfect addition to the nursery to give it a little character & tie in some of the natural wood that I wanted. We bought the same white faux sheepskin rug that we used in Harper’s Room, as a 5×8 it is a great price (it is almost always on sale for 30% off with free shipping) & it makes the perfect backdrop for photos!
This room has been so much fun to decorate, I am so excited to put some finishing touches in it & hope that Eloise loves her new little home! π
