A New Little Girl means a New Little Nursery

Never did we think that one day we would be turning Grant’s jungle themed nursery into a nursery fit for a little girl, complete with pink walls and home-made smocked dresses on the wall.  Truthfully we did not know where to start and the transformation was a little bittersweet in knowing that our little Grant was growing up before our eyes.

Once we got started though….there was no stopping us amateur decorators and we has so much fun!  Matt started by priming all the wall and painting above the chair-rail light pink and below chocolate brown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had a picture frame that we painted white to match the room and Grant helped attach the hangers to the back.

Now for the completed product!  We are so happy with the way that it turned out!

The monogram on the wall is actually is a wall decal (sticker).  The actual wall is painted brown behind the frame and the white frame is placed over it without the glass.  We had a difficult time finding art work that matched our cherry blossom bedding so we made our own with white canvases, ribbon and more wall decals.

The pink and green dresses hanging on the wall were actually my dresses when i was a little girl that my mom made.  She is a excellent seamstress and smocked each of those little dresses.  We can’t wait to see Charlotte in them one day.  The other little yellow dress was the first thing that we bought when we found out that we were having a little girl.  It hung in our bedroom for a long time and reminds us to always have faith in our Lord.

We had a few other accessories on the wall that incorporated our favorite verse Psalms 139:14.  The brown frame on the left actually has a black and white picture of the bible passage itself.

With the nursery finished all we need is our little girl to make it complete!  We can’t wait!
