The Nursery

Before I dive into the "Big Girl Room" redo, I wanted to share and remember the sweet room that has been Evie and Anabelle's nursery. My mom and I chose the colors, fabrics, bedding, etc. while I was pregnant with Evie, and I still love the soft simple pallet. The room has moved and grown with our family from our town house to our current home, and from one baby girl to two! It all started with this classic rocking chair that Ben and I bought with the hopes of having babies one day. I basically chose blue and yellow long before I knew I would have girls (plus, for some reason I totally expected to have a boy). Decorating a girly room to coordinate with the chair was a bit of a challenge, but I didn't give up and it worked out!The room has always been very soft, mostly white with bits of color here and there. It has been such a fresh feeling space for my babies, sort of like a clean white onesie - just yummy and sweet!This antique twin bed belonged to my mother as a child, then to me, then to Evie! It is a very special family piece that I will save for future children. Mom and I made the wall letters before Anabelle was born to go over each girl's bed.I love the sweet vintage style fabric, I chose it along with blue gingham to coordinate with the rocker and my mom all of the bed linens. The girl's have a collection of Beatrix Potter figurines, some were mine as a baby and my aunt has added to the collection for Evie and Anabelle. They are housed in a cabinet with books and other treasures...... like this stack of vintage blankets. I have LOVED the girl's nursery! It has been a happy room for baby girls to sleep and play! Here are a few of my favorite nursery memories of the girls as tiny babies...

P.S. Annie is still a baby to me - she only gets to move to a big girl room at this point by association with her big sister, and it's a little too soon for me!
