Nursery Progress


We have had SO much nursery progress since Nate completed the closet and our initial thoughts on the nursery.  My idea board hanging on the entrance to the room is starting to come to life!  But let's start from the top.


After the closet, our next item was the light fixture.  We ended up going with the Atom chandelier from Land of Nod.  We looked at so many different styles but they were all too long and our tall selves wouldn't be able to walk under.  This one is perfect and still gives the whimsical effect I was hoping for.



Another project is the dresser!  We tested out the color we were initially thinking, (Valspar Swim) and thought it was fun!  We wanted to make sure it matched other accents in the room, so we held off for a while and will finish painting hopefully soon.


Then my favorite part - the walls were painted!  You probably already saw my picture on Instagram, I was too excited to wait and blog about it. :)  We went with Behr Pewter Mug and I couldn't love it more!  Nate found a great stencil online to get the polka dot effect on two accent walls.  We LOVE!

(Not Nate - our favorite painter Chris!)

The same day the walls were being painted, our crib was delivered so it was a big nursery day!  This was one of the gifts from my parents to us and Bradley.  So special!




When we started looking at nursery ideas before we knew the sex of the baby, we kind of honed in around grey with white polka dots on two walls, and aqua and orange accents all around, regardless of the gender.  Polka dots just make me think baby, cute, and whimsical, so I love it for either!

I'm excited my bump weekly progress pics are now on a cute wall!  


Another angle where you can see the two polka dot walls.  Once the dresser is painted, it will go on the left side polka dot wall.  



Looks adorable from the hallway!


Next was Nate's priority - a giant giraffe.  He cracks me up!  I feel like I learn something new about him everyday. :)



We decided to do no rug in the nursery.  I do love the Rugs USA rug but Nate said they were horrific with their customer service and doesn't want to give them business.  We had to pay for our return (even though we thought the stitching wasn't great quality on the rug) almost a month ago and we STILL haven't received our refund.  Come on, people!  Customer service should be top priority!  Since we have carpet, a rug wasn't necessary, more of a cute accent.  But we will work on other accents!

Next up, curtains!  We ordered one panel from Z Gallerie to make sure we liked the color and pattern in the nursery.  Here is Nate holding it up for me. :)


We decided they will be great!  They match the paint we chose for the dresser perfectly.  We also might use this drum stool as a little side table next to our to be purchased glider in the nook.  They are all the exact shade of aqua!


Another favorite nursery to-do that we checked off the list this weekend was bookshelves!  Ever since our neighborhood ladies night I have been dying to get these up.  We knew we wanted to do the Ikea shelves, the hard part was figuring out when to get to Ikea!  



We love them so much we might get more for the other side of the nook.  Too cute!



Right after the shelves went up, Nate hung our one curtain so we could see it on the wall.  Poor guy is staying busy!  We love it! Now to save money to buy the other three panels...


We also hung up the dog canvas we have been hanging onto and patiently (or not) waiting to get up.  So fun!  Love that the room is starting to get some color!





The closet is also filling up!  Nate's work surprised him with a baby shower last week.  So sweet!



Chimi loves the room. :)


It feels so good to get this far and have a huge part of the nursery complete!  Obviously we still have to figure out all decor, glider, bedding, and lots of other things, but this much finished makes me relieved!

Two Little Fish Nursery Bedding


One part of the nursery that was very difficult for us to figure out was the crib bedding.  Everything kind of fell together except for that, then along came Two Little Fish!

*All professional photos by Lindsey Koch Photography.


All of their items are handmade in Lafayette, Indiana, with American fabric and hand-dyed fabric from local village women in Ghana, Africa.  Probably the greatest part of Two Little Fish is they give 100% of their net proceeds back to organizations that support their mission of "Putting Poverty to Bed".  Read more about that here.



The website can be a bit overwhelming to shop, but if you contact them, they will be more than happy to help!  Nicole was so great to work with - she will help you pick fabrics/combinations and they can also send you swatches to make sure you like what you are purchasing.  That made it so much easier and we all love great customer service!  It was great to see the actual fabrics in the room to make the best decision.  You might remember seeing this picture from Instagram when the swatches arrived! :)  Sprinkles loved it!


When the actual box of bedding arrived I couldn't get over how cute and perfect the packaging was!  Such a fun mail day!


We ended up going with two different crib sheets and a crib rail guard.  Also pictured is their ADORABLE crib skirt that I wish we had purchased.  It is reversible and so cute!  


Another piece we didn't buy but love - their reversible quilts!  Such great quality!


The items are pricier than regular bedding from Target or another retailer, but to have items custom made and unique to you while supporting a non-profit is priceless!  Definitely check them out and keep as a contender if you are decorating a nursery anytime soon!

Twin Nursery Reveal!


It is finished! The girl's nursery is finally complete and ready for them. Even though they probably won't sleep in here for quite a while, it is pretty to change diapers in. :) If you follow me on Instagram you have seen most of it, but here it is all together. I am now 36 weeks pregnant so we are ready when they are!


I adore decorating nurseries and kid's rooms. Bradley's nursery was my first to do and at some point we will have to make his nursery a big boy room! So that will be my next project in a few months I am guessing. But I love it so much so I probably will only switch the crib to a toddler bed. :)

For the twins, we basically made it how I want my home office to be. :) Lots of kitschy/kawaii type accents and bright girly colors. I don't think we strayed from our original ideas for the nursery at all! It looks so cute with the nursery closet as well. That thing is stuffed full of baby crap at the current time! Come on in!


This fun ice cream cone is right behind the door.


The first wall when you walk in has one crib. Over each crib we did their initial, either a flamingo or unicorn head, and then a little banner that I found in Bullseye's Playground at Target.




We might have to rearrange the cribs once the girls are grabbing at things when they sleep in here. This crib is super close to the curtains. I also moved Sprinkles cupcake bed in here (have had it since she was a puppy) because it is too cute! We still need one more dog bed because Chimi steals this one.




I'm not sure I will ever get used to seeing two cribs in one nursery. :) And we ended up not doing crib skirts, at least for now. It just seems so unnecessary and wasteful if they can only be used for a few months until you drop the cribs down. But we will see if that lasts because I do love the look of crib skirts...


My favorite part of the room is this corner for reading! We got a SUPER comfy recliner which I think will get lots and lots of use. 


I asked my dad if he would build a little dollhouse bookshelf for the girls in the nursery. He said he would, then texted me the next day and said he was lazy and ordered this bookshelf for the girls instead! Haha! It is so adorable in here and like it is meant to be! 


Bradley helped Nate put it together. :)


It will be perfect reaching distance from the chair. They don't have quite the collection like Bradley yet, but they will soon! Every time Grandma visits she brings a book for each grandchild and we know she will be visiting a lot!


Our baby books look like they were made for this room. The mermaid print is too cute and perfect as well! 



They are such good quality and beyond adorable - will do a post on them soon.


The dresser wall was our first to complete. Nate painted this Ikea dresser and added the fun pulls then anchored to the wall. I love it SO much!



Obsessed with this lightbox. :)


How cute are these backpacks that my friend Erica got the girls? I have one hook and need another before I can hang them up. So sweet!
