Nursery Time!

I can't believe it has been almost 3 months since I updated this blog!  I'm happy to report that I've still been able to keep up with Brady's blog, but this one has been neglected.  Anyway, it's time to decorate the nursery for baby girl (who is due in just over 5 weeks!) so I thought I'd post some of my inspiration here.

We decided that we wanted to do a classic and neutral color for the walls and then bring in pink with the bedding, curtains, and accent pieces.  We'll be reusing the nursery furniture that we bought for Brady, which is a dark chocolate color.  I love it!

We chose this light tan color for the walls:

We painted this weekend and I love the color - especially with our white chair rail and trim.  It just looks so classic to me.

Then I picked out a pink and taupe damask pattern for the bedding.  Here is a sneak peek:

Then I got a cute pink shag rug to go in front of the crib:

And these waterfall ruffle curtains from Urban Outfitters in pale pink:

I have to admit that I haven't gotten the curtains yet and I am hoping that the difference in color between them and the bedding won't be an issue.  I have a feeling the curtains are going to be much paler than the rest of the pinks we are using, but hopefully it will all work together.  I have a backup plan if those don't work, so we'll see.  :)

For the wall behind the crib we are going to be putting a plum blossom tree with birds decal on the wall like this:

Of course our walls aren't pink so it will be on the neutral tan background and we'll have pink birds.  Anyway, I'm excited to see it all come together in the next few weeks and will post pictures when it's done!

Oh, and since I haven't posted in a while, here are some pictures from a recent photo shoot - our last one as a family of 3! (Thanks to Danielle Bryson Photography):

My favorite little man:

We can't wait to watch him grow into a great big brother!
