Nursery: Completed

Sorry I hadn't written this post yet... Brooke's room is basically done :)  Do I love it, no... do I like it, yes! haha There's always more I could have done, if I wasn't cheap, but I did what I did and did it within a very modest budget.  I like it, Charles likes it, and we do hope and pray it's a great place for Brooke to rest her precious head!  

Wood and letter I cut and traced.

Scroll saw we bought on craigslist for $35

Charles cut and sanded all of these (AMAZING JOB SHUG) and I painted them.

A sweet "B" our friend made for Miss Brook to go on her door.

Basically shades of pink, gray, and aqua (I had a TERRIBLY hard time finding things the color aqua I wanted)

$15 glider I recovered, $40 Dresser/changing table we painted

Fun little decorations on the wall.

Closet and dollar store mirrors I painted.

$2 cornice board I made with extra fabric.

Fun tissue paper in the corner and great piece of furniture our sweet bro and sis in law gave us.

Crib and sweet letters :)

Close up of the tissue paper mobile.

Letters I love!

Sweet place for our baby girl to rest her head!

Nursery Ideas: Paisley

So like I mentioned before, we're not going for super girly.  Do I want a theme? Nope. Do I want a nursery set in a bag with matching "quilt"?  Nope. Do I want to create a classic/preppy/relaxing atmosphere to soothe little miss and mom and dad? YES!  

Here's the idea right now... all of this depends on getting the fabric I want (yes, I will make my own curtains, glider cushions, etc)

This is the best fabric I can find right now, but a good idea to start... It's a little busy for my taste, but will only be used sparingly.

  My problem with "themes" is some people take this to the extreme... You know say your kids theme is frogs, well Aunt Suzy Q will think of you and your child EVERY SINGLE TIME SHE SEES A FROG TOY/DECORATION AND BUY IT FOR YOU... so your baby's room starts overflowing into the entire house due to the ridiculous amount of frog items you receive.  But if that's your style, go for it!  The other big items, stroller, carseat, high chair, will be gender neutral to use for other kids.  The nursery will be Brooke's so no need to go gender neutral here. 

White furniture, I think I'm going to paint one wall pink (I'm really not opposed to pink, y'all.  I'm opposed to glitter, any fabrics other than cotton, denim or fleece) The dresser/changing table I think will be the aqua color :)  Welp, that's the thought for now!
