Elise's nursery!

I finally got my act together enough to take pictures (albeit with my phone) of little E's rooms :-) It only took about 10 weeks, ha! She started napping in there at week three and sleeping in there at night at four-weeks-old. Of course, I think my dSLR camera would do the colors more justice, but here is a peek: 

We kept the blue wall the same from when it was Blake's room. Furniture is all the same from both boys' room as well. I did not go with a bed-in-a-bag theme like I had done with the boys, so it is very hodgepodge, but I think it works!

I got the bumper from Pottery Barn (clearance!), the mobile from the sweet Sip N See hostesses, and the monogrammed pillow from my dad and stepmom. We have three pillows for her room, I'm a bit obsessed! She has a new polk-a-dot crib sheet, but little Missy had a blowout that morning, so the green sheet it was for the pictures :-) 

I painted the E above her bed, and just need to hang a painted frame around it now. I also made the triangle-cutout banner from fabric, and I plan to make some headbands out of the leftover (because I love the colors!). For the changing table/dresser, I just changed out the knobs. The clothes hamper was also the boys, but I painted it grey from the natural wood color it was and dyed the hamper from green to pink! Just needs something I haven't found yet below the banner

The theme is birds, so here are a couple of knick-knacks. The Live Well, Laugh Often, and Love Much plaque may be my favorite (it was, after all, my senior quote in high school!)

I plan on painting the lamp table but will be keeping the shade. Love the chevron bird cage/door hanger on the closet, which is hard to see in this photo 

The media table that has stood as our bookcase and toy chest for three + years now, with a hand-made blanket on top, along with the frame from her great-grandmother and dried roses from our church when we were still at the hospital

The print that started it all! I bought this and another one at World Market back in February (and kept the receipts) just in case we had a girl. Glad my suspicions were correct :-) I love the colors!

My favorite thing in the room is this bird cage with clothespins. I think it is supposed to be a picture holder, but I am using it as her headband hanger

If we had a girl first, we would have bought white nursery furniture. I hope I've lightened it up enough with the color palette. And if we had a bigger budget and longer time frame, I probably would've given it more thought. But for the price and timeline, I love love our baby girl's room!
