Nursery Progress

I was so excited to learn the gender of our baby so we could start planning the nursery. I love a good home project and planning her room was such a creative process for me, especially with Rich gone.  I did not anticipate how daunting it would be to do it however!  There are so many cute themes and colors out there, I never knew how I would decide what to settle on.

In the end, I kept with the same colors from our wedding, peach and grey with touches of goal and coral.   I wanted to bring some personal elements to her room and of course stay with in a budget, after all we don't know how long we will be living in this house #militarylifeproblemz

Here are a few things I found or assembled for her room over the weeks:

 My mother in law made this wreath for the baby shower she threw.  We decided to hang it on the front of our girls nursery to give a little floral welcome to anyone who entered her room.  

 I found this peach stocking at Michaels when I was searching for Christmas decor.  It was the perfect addition to her room for Christmas time.  Even though she isn't here with us for this Christmas, it's been fun to have her little stocking hanging.  I hope I can incorporate some fun tradition with her in the years to come with this stocking hung on her bed.  We ordered one that matched ours for the mantel, but this one was just extra special. 

 I wanted to make a floral mobile for above her crib.  My nieces wore flower crowns at our wedding so this was sort of a nod to that from our wedding and a way to really give her something visually appealing when she transitions to her crib.  I covered a form wreath in ribbon, added a bunch of silk flowers with pins, and hung it above the crib with the same ribbon!
