Nursery Reveal

Our Nursery is complete (well minus baby girl).
I put a lot of thought into the plan for this nursery and started to formulate how I wanted it to look after I reached week 20. We didn't really start on it until week 29 though (after we took our trip down to Indiana for our baby shower). Its been so much fun, and I find myself just going into the room several times a day and standing there, or sitting in the chair. 

We hope you like it, we have both decided we are completely in love with this room and it is by far the best room in our whole house :)


This is as wide I could get it angle of the Nursery, the following pictures give you the full nursery tour.
Our Crib
Isn't it just lovely. It took me a long time to decide on a crib, we had originally registered for one from Babies R Us and I am so glad that I looked around more, this is more me, clean lines, clean look and I love the fact that is has a drawer for extra storage (which we happen to need - because we literally were gifted 12 blankets so far ;). 

We bought the frames from IKEA - I wish we had bought more, I LOVE these frames and I wish I had them all over our home.
The Flower and butterfly mobile is actually a light chandelier, but it works for what I want it to do. I couldn't decide on this for the longest time and finally I just went for it - I am so glad I did.
The polka dot theme happened by accident, my Aunt made the blanket that you see hanging on the side of the crib and I found the sheet in a store. I love the way it looks.
The crib is probably one of my favorite pieces in the room, we bought it online from Walmart, gifted from my mum.
The shh baby sleeping sign was from the baby shower that Natasha did for me when I was in England over Christmas.



Some details around the room
Picture of Jesse and I when we did our pictures for the gender reveal. I can't believe I was ever that small!
The three pictures in a row are from our engagement photos that my friend Chelsea took, the one in the middle is probably my favorite photo of me EVER. Jesse took this picture when I was 29 weeks pregnant. I LOVE it and I am so happy that I have this picture to give her in years to come. I have always wanted a maternity photo to pass down to my child after watching the movie 'The Family Stone'

More room details, the Expedit book shelf and white boxes are from IKEA.
 The dresser was gifted to us from a work colleague who was taking it to Goodwill. I am also completely in love with this. It was a maple type look and Jesse primed and painted it for me, then we bought wood drawer pulls and stained them to match the drawer on the crib. The best thing is that this gives us so much space AND it doubles up as a changing table. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
The changing table mat has a polka dot cover, and it matches PERFECTLY with the polka dot crib sheet and blanket.
The lady bug outfit is for a newborn - I am guessing that baby girl will not fit into this, given how much they told us she weighed 5 weeks ago now, but its cute anyway and I liked it for the photos. 

Our bookshelf is from IKEA, I love this little reading/nursing nook

The Wardrobe (Closet)
Jesse put this together, we took out the standard shelf and hanging pole that builders put in homes and we custom built this. Again, it gives us so much more space - which is perfect because our house is truly tiny, and this nursery room is super small. I love opening the doors to this wardrobe, it overwhelms me with cuteness. I can't wait for her to wear some of these clothes.

So now we wait for baby girl to come home and enjoy the Nursery that her parents lovingly put together over many weeks :) 
We are super excited to meet her!!
