Hey guys!!
We have had lots of questions about our nurseries. Ash revealed hers a few weeks ago. I have been waiting until I feel like it’s totally “finished” but knowing my personality that reveal may not happen until she is 2 years old. So… Here we go 🙂
This is E’s bed. We found it pretty cheap at Baby Depot. I think it was right at $200 and it converts to a toddler bed so I was happy.
This is the armoire that was black and in the living room in it’s previous life. A little paint goes a long way!
I know Ash received a less than friendly comment about the TV in her nursery. Well, guess what?? Behind those doors hides a TV in my nursery too! Do our babies watch these? Obviously not. But, we do enjoy sitting in the rockers with the babies and watching TV. You know what else?? I bottle feed! I guess with the TV and bottle feeding combined I might just be in the running for “worst mom of the year”. Seriously people. :-))
Here is the entire wall with my magnetic photo board!
And a little nightstand I revamped. That is the lamp I showed you guys HERE!
Window shot.
That amazing trunk is one of my next projects. I think it will go red… What you think??
Chest of drawers…
Painted it yellow and added those great $2 Hobby Lobby knobs!
I LOVE our bedding! I was ready to whip out the sewing machine and make my own until Ashley sent me a picture of the bedding she chose. I told her I would be copying and I did just that!
I love the prints of the fabrics!
Bedskirt…
Bumper…
And my rocker (that I happily watch TV in:)…
This rocker started green and I slipcovered it with a thick, soft brown corduroy.
I can show you a tutorial on that later. Not too hard but oh so time consuming.
And my curtains! I made these using a drop cloth and attaching some fabric and ribbon to the bottom.
And one more shot…
That’s about it!
I’m sure you noticed some blank wall space. It’s all in my head but getting it done will happen soon enough. I’ll keep you posted on it!
Don’t forget about tonight’s party!
See you then!

Ha ha…love the nursery but love your comment about having a TV in the nursery as well as being a bottle-feeder even more!!! I was a bottle-feeder too but never had room to put TVs in my girls’ rooms…if I did, I probably would have so that I could stay awake to feed them. Too many times I found myself asleep with baby in arms and milk dripping everywhere…who knew that all I needed was a TV???
yall are so so cute!! I am going through and looking at all yalls incredible stuff! I love the nursery and I cant wait to click on ashleys and see it! and congrats on baby #5!! that is fantastic!! so much fun. oh, and i propped bottles for my twins and went back to bed, so, really I am the worst mom ever in the world. Maybe I would have at least stayed in their rooms if I had a tv in there…
Kristen! Hi 🙂 Thanks for your sweet comment! I didn’t know you had a blog… I’ll have to check it out!! Miss you and hope your family is doing so good!!

I have an armoire just like it but its black, I'm so over black! I love the yellow and now I am inspired to tackle it…but in white!
Love. And the TV in the nursery? Pure genius!
Hey, as long as you're not putting the baby in the armoire and shutting the doors so you can get a break, who CARES if you watch tv while you rock a baby??? Let's just say the invention of the DVR between my 1st and 2nd baby saved my sanity. I watched many an episode of Law & Order in the wee hours!
I bottle fed. I also watched TV while I was feeding my little man. But I for sure am the worst mom because I also am a working mom. . .
p.s. I think you're fabulous!
Love your bedding..and love your curtains! I will definitely be doing some of these in our 5th baby's room due in June. Can I make a suggestion though…could you possibly move down your crib to put your cute little nightstand next to your comfy chair so you have a place to put your bottle and drink (or book) next to you…and maybe you could put the dresser caddy corner on the wall that the night stand is currently on?
AWESOME!! I'm due in August and your nursery looks very similar to ours as far as the way it's laid out and with the huge window (i love a large window). we haven't started yet so this gives me some great ideas. ALSO…I will be BOTTLE FEEDING and WATCHING TV, TOO in our nursery!! we are actually putting an awesome flat screen on the wall!! 🙂
Just found your blog and I love it! Yayyyyy! The person who said something about a TV can go suck it. TV is the greatest invention ever.
precious! now all you need is a mini fridge with a few beers for "those" nights! Seriously people is right!!!
I think both of your nursery's are beautiful and neither of you should feel guilty having a tv in them, I have both bottlefed and nursed and guess what I watched tv when I did it too!!! and my kids are just as smart, sweet and polite as anyone who didn't so good for you!!:)
Your nursery is adorable…I love the bedding! I enjoyed your shout out to bottle fed babies. Mine is bottle fed and people (even Men) make me feel like a criminal. Mean while our baby is so socially advanced for her age (I'm not just being a proud mommy) and is so content…NEVER screams ever. People are always like she is such a wonderful baby…it must be the poison I give her. 🙂
