my favourite part of her room so far
When I found out I was pregnant, I knew the nursery was going to be a labour of love until the baby got here. I think I changed the theme of the nursery about a hundred times, I am an indecisive person ha. At first I wanted a "vintage" looking nursery, but the more pieces I found, the more the room kind of looked like a dumping ground. That's the tricky part with vintage rooms, if you do it just right it is perfection, but if you go overboard like I did then it just looks like a giant garage sale.
My second idea was a gender neutral woodland themed nursery, I thought it would be perfect because no matter what gender we had after this baby we could use the same elements for their nursery. I put together a private Pinterest board and this photo was what inspired me to get started:
It incorporated all the things I wanted in a nursery and a lot of the same furniture. HOWEVER (are you getting an idea of how I'm indecisive) once we found out the gender, the game changed. To be honest I thought I was having a boy, and when I found out Everly was a girl I thought this is my chance to really do the nursery I wanted. My mom had purchased this quilt from etsy and it was the base of the entire room. I loved how whimsical and girly it was, and the colours made me swoon. I went back to the drawing board (Pinterest of course) and started pulling inspiration.
I loved how I could still incorporate some of the vintage items into her room and keeping the colour scheme. I wanted pink and mint with pops of gold, and even though we are still working on some things and waiting on a few items to finish the room, I am so happy with how it is turning out so far. It truly has been a labour of love and once it is all finished there will be a reveal post. I couldn't help but post a few photos on Instagram, but once everything is set there will be a more detailed post.
