Molly's Nursery



It's DONE!! Molly's nursery is finally done!! I love the way it turned out!!

The nursery all started when I found fabric that I fell in love with. The fabric is called Kumari Garde:Teja in Pink. I knew I wanted to do something unique and fun and out of the ordinary from the rest of our house! So, aqua and pink it was!!

Ben and his mom painted the walls Aqua Glow from Valspar! Within the first few strokes of paint, Ben was doubting me and didn't like the color.  I was very mad at him for saying that and told him to just continue painting.  Brooklyn and I left for the day so they could paint.  A few hours later Ben sent me a text and said "it's done and looks great, I will never doubt you again."  Thank you!!

I ordered the crib sheet in the above fabric.  And ordered the crib skirt in a different fabric but from the Kumari Garden line.  It is called Pink Tarika.  Right when I wanted to order, it became very difficult to find.  I don't think they are making it anymore. So glad I bought it when I did!








We just did standard pink curtains from Pottery Barn Kids.  They match the crib skirt perfectly!

Next was decorating the walls! I decided on a monogram above the crib! I love how it turned out! I bought a plain wood monogram and spray painted it pink!


I wanted to do a wall collage with picture frames of different sizes on the big wall! I bought wood frames and spray painted them light pink.  The dark pink frames came from Hobby Lobby and they are the perfect color and I love the design of them!

I plan to get a big print made of Molly's birth stats to put in the big frame in the middle. The outside frames have numbers and letters in them.  I am going to put newborn pictures in the dark pink frames.  There is a bible verse in one of them right now, I am on the hunt for another verse or saying that I like to put in one of the frames.

We went back and forth on what to do about a glider/rocker for the room.  We really didn't want to spend money on a new one, and Brooklyn was not wanting to sit in hers anymore, so we saved money and just used the same glider from her room.  I ordered a blanket in the same print as crib sheet to put over the glider for a little color!

 The pink dresser was a labor of love, you can read about that here. I wanted a mirror above the dresser.  My mother in law found this mirror at an estate sale for $13 and she spray painted it dark pink to match other things around the room. It turned out perfect! It is the perfect size and adds the perfect touch to the room! I love it! I don't know how much I am going to like it when I am standing in front of it changing diapers at 3am...





 I ordered these lamp shades and nightlight in the Kumari Garden fabric...I love them!

With a lot of love and a lot of spray paint, the nursery is done and I love it!! Can't wait to show it to Molly!!
