Nursery Reveal

With Emma being 6 months old, and time passing by so fast, I feel like I should reveal her nursery to you before she grows up and moves out on us!

I finished it before she was born and have been meaning to share it with you, but just haven't taken the time to snap some photos.

Let me preface with the fact that I imagined a girly room that didn't have "baby" written all over it. I wanted something that she could grow up in {with soft colors and gold accents}. :)

We painted the walls a soft peach color, which I shared with you here.

A lot of her decor items were either vintage items from within the family, a DIY, or found at Target or TJMaxx. 

I will share a list down below.

My amazing friend created this amazing piece and

you can check out her Etsy shop here.

I used a jar for pacifier storage

You can see the rehab of this antique dresser here.

I removed closet doors for more space with the cupboard. 

I also labeled three baskets for storage

1. Too Small

2. Nursing Essentials

3. Hats

Gold "E": Hobby Lobby

"Quite Fawnd Of You My Deer" picture: DIY

Mint green & gold scripture painting: handmade gift

Dandelion Window: handmade gift

Curtains: Target

Glider: Target

Crib of blanket: TJMaxx

The blanket ladder was a DIY.

 The rocking horse and the vintage baby rocker was my husband's when he was little. 

The old window frame with the alphabet letters was a DIY.

The vintage scale is a family item that my father-in-law was actually weighed on as a baby and we used it as a prop during newborn and materinty photos.

 There you have it! 

What do you think? 

I am happy with the results! :)

DIY Baby Turban

I've been seeing adorable baby turban headbands all over Pinterest, but I didn't want to spend a lot of time following a tutorial, or bust out my sewing machine.  I also saw really cute ones on Etsy, even organic ones, but I didn't want to pay $10+ for only one!

So, I brainstormed to come up with my own. 

This is a super easy DIY for baby turban headbands!

For your materials, all you need are scissors and headbands of your choice.

I picked up some adult size headbands from the hair styling section at Wal-Mart for about $5!

First, cut the headband where the seam is. 

Then, fold the headband in half hotdog style.

Fold the headband again so that the two ends meet.

Use your scissors and cut diagonally across where all the corners come together so that you get a point.

Unfold the headband and voila!

I have this adorable baby turban headband in 5 different colors for half of the price of what one was selling for on Etsy! 

Now, tie onto an adorable baby like so, and you're done! ;)

What do you think?

Super cute right?! ;)

xoxo,

Jen
