Pregnancy: My Nursery

I have been promising for weeks, even months, to show you baby B's nursery.  Unfortunately, things didn't start coming together until about three weeks ago.  I'm still missing a dresser (don't get me started on my issues with Amazon) but I can say with confidence that if she came tomorrow the nursery would be workable!  Considering that I'm now officially "full term" she could make an appearance any day now.  I'm just happy she now has a personalized space of her own.

When we first painted the nursery we were unaware of the baby's sex.  We decided on a light green because it's the perfect gender neutral color.  When we found out she was a girl I decided to play with pinks (of course) and other pretty pastels.  I really wanted an owl theme because, honestly, it's so easy to find owl related items in any store.

As you can see, a lot of my Hello Kitty collection has made it's way into her room :)

Her shoe collection is already quite impressive.  Looks like she takes after mom!

Her custom closet is done!  I opted out of regular closet doors and went for ruffled waterfall curtains instead.  I think it makes the room look a little bigger and adds an extra touch of femininity.

I should be getting her dresser in the next week or so and I'll be adding the finishing touches while I can.  Being on maternity leave is pretty nice but I feel like I always have something to do here at home.  I guess you can never be too ready!  What do you think?

  7. YOUR HELLO KITTY COLLECTION = ♥
    B's room looks so cute! The custom closet is so impressive, and you're totally right about the ruffled curtains instead of the traditional doors.

    Best of luck to you and Kevin in the next couple days/weeks! Can't wait to meet this little girl of yours!

  11. I love this, but I really hope you won't force femininity on your child if it's not what she turns out to love.

    1. Not to start a huge debate, but I think *any* sort of effort of this caliber shows she'll be an amazing mother, because she already cares enough about her unborn child to make a special space for her, even if the style will change over time. I think the assumption that femininity is being "forced" is a little harsh. I think it just shows a lot of love and caring. I think too many people take this kind of thing for granted, but trust me when I say, not everyone gets a beautiful nursery before they are even born... In other words, I think this sort of effort is to be commended! <3

  12. It looks adorable. I did a post on a wall we painted in the nursery but other than that we have a long way to go and so much to so. I hope to get it sorted soon x

  19. Wow, this is really beautiful Ashley! I love the green with all the pink and pastels - such a nice change to all the yellow, pink, beige etc walls that you see around for girls these days. My nursery is not even completed yet as far as hanging art on the walls goes! I need to get on the ball considering my little guy is 6 months soon! Best wishes for a happy and quick labor and delivery :-)

  22. It's so pretty and strangely what I imagine a little Bianca to live in! Honestly, I can't wait to see how you two transform her room as she grows up. I love the closet and owls + hello kitty = a little girls dream. Also I really want her chair. It's kind of perfect.

  23. That closet is gorgeous and all the cute shoes!! I may already have a few pairs of shoes for my future babies...it's a problem.
    I love the green paint, this is absolutely darling Ashley!

  24. I love that you went with green instead of the usual "gender neutral" yellow. I always thought I'd do green too when that time comes along. I think the touches of pink are so cute too. I love that she has a shoe collection already too. Baby shoes are just so cute.
