The Nursery

Okay, so i guess its about that time. Do you remember the before shots? Here is a reminder.

Then there is the inspiration for color palette.

From the doorway

I know we didnt follow the muted pink as well as i had hoped; Alfie really wanted to make sure there was pink in the room. The pink on the handles of the dresser are a little bit bright for me, but he really likes them, so for now they're staying. For some reason the pink on the curtains look kinda more like salmon, not sure why, it really is a prettier pink.

From the corner by the changing table

This one is taken from behind the chair by her closet (which is closed for a reason). I like how it gets the most of my favorite things- her crib with the wall art (i.heart.it) and her changing table/dresser.

Right now this is our favorite room in the house, and we are really looking forward to using it on a daily basis... so Annabelle, please dont be stubborn like mommy and daddy. Dont be a fashionista, and do the whole "make a fashionably late entrance." Break the rules and come soon please!!

And a sneak peak of the nursery. I plan on getting all the nursery shots after we get out all the rest of the things i have yet to put away, or those items that will be moved to another room closer to her arrival. This crooked shot is courtesy Alfie. sorry you can barely see the belly.

Is it just me or does it look like i am seriously arching my back in this photo? I'm not, but it sure looks that way, i tried doing it again with my arm by my side, but that just made my arm look fat, so, here's the arched back.

20 wks and some change

Alfie seems to think you cant see any belly in this photo, but i would like to point out that that white shirt used to be long. Not so much any more. It either needs to be worn with something over it, or not at all. And just to prove my point, I am publicly showing one of those rather embarrassing bare belly shots. I seriously believe this to be my last bare belly photo, as my book has said from here on out, i will consistently get bigger.

But enough belly. We have picked out colors for the nursery!! I tried to get some good photos of the actual color, but i don't think it turned out as well as they really look. The really small scrap of fabric, though beautiful, is out. At $100.00 a yard, i think I'll pass. I am still on the hunt for a silver blue silk that has a small design like it, but am running out of places to go. Any suggestions are welcome. The wall color is Silver Sage, and the pink is more of a dusty rose color, it will be for the bumper, with the silver being a ruffled bed skirt that goes all the way to the floor.

I am really trying to stay away from the "baby pink" as my mom calls it. More shabby chic, i suppose. What do you think? Yay or nay?

I will leave you an inspiration photo. I love the muted tones in the room. Very relaxing, which i will need at the wee hours of feeding. The only thing i will change is a brighter pink. If you know who i need to give credit to for this photo, please let me know!
