Nursery Reveal!

At long last, the nursery reveal! I love this room. It's girly but not barfy girly, it's calm, and it's something baby girl can grow into.

The colour on the walls is Sherwin Williams Zircon. It's a true gray, no blues, greens or other hidden weirdness.

The crib is from Sears, the glider and window panels from Pottery Barn Kids. The table is from Ikea, and I spray painted it white.

Sheets and dust ruffle from Pottery Barn Kids (here and here). Chandelier from Ikea.

The dresser is the Ikea Birkland dresser. Lamp from Pottery Barn Kids.

The basket is from Babies R Us. I made the pinboard, and had greeting cards all cutely tucked in it, but baby girl loved ripping them down and trying to wipe her a$$ with them.

This is a photo of our dog Monty as a puppy :)

The bookshelf is approximately eleventy billion years old, and we painted it white. The baskets are from Ikea and I tied ribbons from Michaels on them to gussy them up. The framed bird print and the bird cage are from Homesense. The kid is all mine.

I made the tissue puffs for her first birthday party, and then couldn't bear to throw them away.

Her little piggy bank from grandma and grandpa, and a little bear I got when I bought Burberry perfume that has her birth year stamped on it's foot. 

I love this mirror, from Homesense.

And last but not least, I found these prints in a vintage shop in Stratford Ontario. They're in their original frames, and I love them. The one on the left looks so much like Sophia when she was smaller, I had to buy them.

Hope you enjoyed!

Obviously when I found out I was having a girl, I went nuts planning the perfect little girl's nursery. It's beyond cliche but in my vision it had to be a) pink, b) pink and c) chandelier-ed. I'm not even a "pink" sort of girl, but this is what I had to have. In our old house, the walls were blue (Benjamin Moore Iced Slate) already, and I thought pink accents would look pretty darn great against them.

Our old nursery, here:

                      (PBK comfort chair, PBK Avery rug, Ikea Birkeland dresser, mirror and bird cage from Home Sense)

And here:

           (Ancient bookshelf, painted white. Basket from Ikea, ribbon from Michaels. Birdcage and art from HomeSense.)

And here:

                                        (Crib from Sears, Sheets and bedskirt from PBK, wall decals from this Etsy shop).

And those are the only pictures I have from the old room, because I'm forgetful an idiot and didn't take any more. It wasn't until I had her room all packed up for the move that I realized I didn't fully record how her first room looked. I was so distraught over this I considered unpacking and putting everything back together again. But then I drank some wine and forgot about it. 

Her new room in our new house is essentially the same size and layout as her old one, so her room is essentially the most complete room right now. Except it's a horrible shade of beige. And the pink rug is no more, since her new room is carpeted and I'm not the type to put rug on top of carpet. Those people exist. I don't know any of them but I've heard rumours. 

I have the can of paint to finish off her room sitting in the closet and I'm hoping to do it this week. It's Zircon by Sherwin Williams and I think it will look fab. I thought going with a more true grey instead of a blue-grey would class it up a bit. Cause you know, I'm classy and my kid is classy ok. 

UPDATE: Still haven't painted her room. Because I'm lazy. But when I do, boy, am I gonna post some pictures!
