finally after nine months i'm sharing bea's little nursery with you. i've shared some of my
inspiration {
here &
here}, and i think it came together really well, considering most everything in beatrice's nursery was a hand-me-down...i had to work with what i was given...
we inherited this dresser from a friend of patty's...it's beautiful and everytime i open one of the drawers beatrice crawls over like flash lightening and starts to pull all of her clothes out! we've been collecting little cards that i keep meaning to frame...someday...
both the dresser and the changing table top were hand-me-downs, from two different people, but they work great for our changing station. i use cloth diapers for beatrice, so i had to get some new shelves to hold them all...all her colorful diaper covers are in the drawers...i'll do a cloth diapering post soon...
we've been co-sleeping with beatrice, but in the bed in her room. this room used to be the guest room, so we just kept the bed. it was easier to co-sleep with her in her own room in the beginning, and now we just stay here....we'll probably move back to our bed soon. the cute
wall decals are fabric...not vinyl...so sweet!
since we call beatrice "bea," and pronounce it "bee," we've had some really cute bee gifts...so that's become another theme in her nursery. how cute is this vintage bee costume from the 50's? i can't wait until she can wear it...
i painted the walls a super pale pink, but really wanted to bring more color and pattern in...i found these cute buntings on etsy {
triangles here and
liberty here}.
the beginning of
the reading nook...she *loves* the piano, though. and she loves to pull all the books off the shelves...next step: actually sitting down and reading them! we read together everyday, but she's really into eating the books right now {teething baby}...
beatrice had a mobile over her changing table and for some reason she really got excited by the elephant, so we've started a little elephant collection...{both were handmade gifts}...
the crib was the first "baby" item we inherited...i wasn't thrilled about black, but now i love it. she's never slept in it though!
it's really just a resting spot for her toys and cute animals from
blabla kids...organic sheets from
plover organic...
sweet mobile from
blabla kids as well. this mobile was one of my big splurges for the nursery...love, love, love it...
we inherited the rocker as well...i really wanted to re-cover it, but i didn't really have the money...so i just covered it with some of the many, many blankets that beatrice received. i don't use it much anymore, so i'm thinking of handing it down to someone else...sweet custom rag doll from
warm sugar. this was one of my favorite purchases. she made it completely custom for me...i gave her colors and picked socks, etc. and she made the cutest doll...it's hard to see but there are even bees are the fabric! just for bea...
some details from her dresser and bookshelves...cute wooden teether from
little sapling toys...the vintage planters are from a friend...i still need to put plants in them!
and finally, her "uncle" dj lance gave her a sweet picture...she's still never seen
yo gabba gabba {
no screens until she is two}, but she's met all the characters! patty & i are big fans and lance is a good friend of beatrice's uncle {her donor}...and remember my
original nursery inspiration? well, of course he had to make it into her room...
next up: beatrice's vintage closet!
the lighting in the room right now is not so cute...i'd love to get a cute chandelier like
