Elise's Nursery

Ok... after some late-night internet searching I was able to 'fix' my posting situation.  I've been excited for the nursery reveal, and I'm glad I will get to share it after all.

But first, go take a look at the inspiration room over at Me and Wee.  You'll quickly see that my creative juices were not actually flowing, I just did a decent job copying :-)


I used a few leftover from my baby shower as decorations (you can spot the ABC poster and pinwheels above).  Both framed pieces on the bookshelf are from my good friend Kelly.  You can find the name collage in her Etsy shop.


And of course there is the chair.  The dreaded project that halted this whole project.  I wish I would've focused a little sooner- we've had some good times cuddling since the chair has made it upstairs (not that Elise is a cuddler- she's always on the go...not sure where she gets that from!).  


I love hoe Elise's Clara dress fit perfectly in with the room decor.  Her little friend agrees, but also thinks there should be more hand knits in the room.  We'll see what we can do about that.

My sister got me these prints on Etsy.  Wish I could tell you where from... (Amanda, do you remember?)

And finally one of the reasons I fell in love with our house- the window seats.  Truth be told (and you can probably tell), I still need to cover the cushion properly.   For the picture, we did a little fabric wrap magic.  Who am I kidding, it will probably stay like this for some time. Oh well.


I'm a little torn as to what to do on these walls.  I do have many pictures that are waiting to be framed, but would it be too much to add to the space?  What do you think?

  3. beautiful! I love the colour on the walls, and the Clara dress as art (perfectly coordinating art!) is just perfect. The chair may have been a hassle, but it looks awesome!

  4. What a pretty room! My thought for your space would be to paint or stencil a tree with birds on the walls by the windows. It wouldn't cramp the space, but would add some interest.

  6. So cute! I'm working on our little's nursery now, great inspiration. I think you could add more photos to the window seat area without it looking overcrowded.

  7. I love Elise's nursery, its gorgeous. You're lucky she has so much space. I was wondering where you'd got to - nice to be able to read your blog again. I can't believe Elise is walking - Noah can't crawl yet!!!

  8. She is gonna LOVE that window seat as she grows older. That is the type of thing I would have loved as a kid. I specifically remember seeking out the coziest spots in the house as a kid. Wait, how am I kidding, I STILL do that! Love your blog by the way!

  9. Love that tiny little dress! And the bear too:)

    As for the bench area, leave it open. It looks so serene and pretty right now!

  10. The nursery looks beautiful! I think you might want to check out Etsy for vinyl wall decals. There's a ton of people with cute ones. It would be faster than painting (and less heartbreaking to remove when she outgrows it).

  12. A really beautiful room. And I like most, that the walls are blue and not pink!

  13. What a gorgeous nursery! You did an amazing job. My favorite part might be the little knitted dress hanging on the pretty turquoise wall. And great job with that chair, girl! I'm not sure how you had time to do it at all (probably would have taken me longer than 7 months). Regarding the framed pictures, I don't think they would be too much. It looks like there is a little space right above the chair to the left where some pics would be just perfect.

  14. Gorgeous! I love the main colors, and love the bright pops of color on the ikea shelving. Great job.

  15. I know I'm really late to this, but I love your color scheme! It's almost exactly the color scheme in my living room! Pretty teal and bright yellow! It's such a happy color combination and everyone who comes to my house comments on how vibrant and joyful it makes them feel :-)
