I finally got around to taking the photos of Stella's nursery. As soon as we found out she was a girl I chose purple and teal as accent colours to our (already painted) grey walls. Little did I know how hard it would be to find purple nursery stuff and teal that actually matched. There are so much different shades of teal, so we ended up having quite a variety in the room of both colours and I think it came together well! Next girl nursery I'm sticking with pink though, it would have been so much easier!
This is the view from the door way.
Daddy & Grandpa P made these adorable bookshelves for her that I just love.
Looking towards the door, all of her headband clips in a frame that I made.
Photo collage wall. Looks pretty silly still since most the frames are empty, waiting for her first photos to go into them. The 'S' in the Stella Violet frame is actually upside down. If you compare it to the one above her crib you will see it. It was a total pregnancy brain moment and one that we didn't realize for weeks, but it makes me and Paul laugh so we decided to leave it.
Our change table. The crib and change table were a set that also came with a dresser (it's not being used in the nursery). We have decided to cloth diaper our little girl so our change table had to be set up a bit differently than most. We don't know if this set up will work well for us so it's likely something that will need a bit of tweaking once she is here.
We decided to have a twin bed in the nursery so I am able to sleep in there on rough nights. With Paul working shift work he won't be able to be constantly waking up and this was the best solution. I am so in love with her bedding. It's the last purchase we made for the nursery, we already had a duvet for her bed but had to buy this set when we saw it. We came across it in Target just a couple weeks ago and it was even on sale. It's perfect!
We had these tissue pompoms at our wedding and I always knew I would do something with them in our nursery when we needed one. This is the one part of the room that I'm not 100% happy with. It looked different in my head and just never really came together the way I had pictured it, but I put TONS of love into it so it's staying up there.
This storage bin is full of cloth diapers. Literally every bin. I have an addiction to their cuteness! Can't wait to see her little fluff bum. The shelf is from Ikea.
Stella got this doll for Christmas from her Grandpa C. I love it! I didn't even know baby stella dolls existed but I am glad she has one already! The letters were purchased at Michael's and I painted them black.
Her crib of course! It's just a simple crib that we had bought months before we were even married. I made the crib skirt, crib sheets, tassel garland and I cut the vinyl lettering with my Silhouette.The garland is one of my favourite things in her nursery!
Her closet! Already fully stocked of the most adorable little clothes (yes the dresser is completely full of clothes too... I know I have a problem!). The top shelf is still serving as storage for us, hopefully this will change as we need those items and find different places for them.
The other side of her closet. This hanging shoe rack for Ikea holds all of our baby blankets.
My beloved Coach diaper bag that I've had since before we were married. It's all packed and ready to go!
There you have it! So much love has gone into preparing this room for our girl. I can hardly believe she will soon be here and using the room (well she will be in the bassinet in our room for the first while). Everyday I am still so thankful for our little blessing and am getting beyond anxious to meet her so soon!
