Baby A's Nursery

                      Baby A's Nursery

When we found out we were having a little girl I knew immediately that I wanted to splatter her room with everything pink, girly, and beautiful! I didn't want a theme either because I wanted her to be able to grow into her room. We stuck with stripes, plaid, and polka dots in kid friendly fabrics so we could easily erase any messes she would and did make!

*I love how serene our master is! This is our hideaway to relax after a long day's work. All the decor for this room was purchased on a budget.We still have a few changes to make such as adding curtains to our HUGE wall of windows and a bench at the end of the bed. We are also having the bathroom painted in the same color as the bedroom. I'll update as changes are made.

Did I mention that my closet is getting a makeover? I'm so thrilled to see the final pink product! Come back and see my glamorous space!

* This was the most exciting room for me to design when we moved into our home because it's where our family gathers. The space was meant to be a formal dining area, but not at all fussy. The key to this space was functionality because of our large family. We also wanted it to be cozy and inviting so everyone would want to sit around the table and tell stories, or drink coffee after a delicious meal.

**The lighting fixture will be changed out in the near future and I have prints to hang that are awaiting the perfect frames! Stay tuned for updates.

Rocking Chair Makeover

This is my adorable, little rocking chair from when I was a baby. That means that it is at least 25 years old, give or take a couple of years. My parents recently pulled it out of their attic and gave it to Baby A. Now, by the looks of it, the chair seems to have lost its luster. I sat the aged beauty in the nursery, but it just wasn't working for me. The rustic brown against pale green and pink was an eye sore. This called for an intense makeover.

I busted out sand paper, a damp cloth, my trusty Rustoleum primer, and Rustoleum spray paint in the classic Heirloom White. First, I lightly sanded the whole chair, then wiped it down really well with the damp cloth so no residue remained. I needed a clean surface for painting. Then, I heavily coated the chair with my primer and let it dry over night. The next day I came back and covered the chair in Heirloom white. I left it in the garage to dry and air out for several days since it was going into the nursery. I didn't want any remaining fumes around Baby A. After it was good and dry I brought it in and this is what she looks like.

It's definitely much better, but still needs some added touches like Baby A's name or initials on the back of the chair in pink and green. For now though, it's sitting in the corner of the nursery with this cute FAO Schwartz elephant.
