A Vintage Modern Nursery: The Reveal!

Reese’s Nursery is finished and I am in love.

It began with a lot of pinning and a lovely color pallet inspiration.

And it became a space that I can’t help but go back to over and over just to sit and enjoy myself.

This space has been a balance of vintage and modern, sentimental and new, DIY and store bought.

Many hands have helped make this space a reality, and I love all the special touches that are throughout it.

Like the rocking chair that has lulled all the babies on my side of the family to sleep.

And the daybed that used to be in the guest room (my dream room growing up) at my grandparents’.

I love how the pale blue walls create a serene environment and keep it peaceful despite all the bright colors.

So many of the pieces revamped to decorate with were bought well before we even thought this baby could exist.

The fabric for the art, bumper and pillows were what drove the look of this space.

But not everything had to be handmade—sometimes it’s just easier and cheaper to buy!

I love that I was able to use pieces from Jace’s nursery and upcycle them into girly items for Reese.

The room is full, but I love how everything came together.

And it has been so much fun to fill these drawers with girly clothes!

We paid attention to the details. And as much as I would have loved to just not worry about it or take an easy route instead, I’m so glad we put in that extra work.

Now I just have to make sure my cat doesn’t try to attack these birds.

The room feels so bright and light. Again, I attribute that to the wall color.

My sweet baby girl will spend her first few months resting in the bassinet that was also shared by her brother and cousins.

The finishing touches pull it all together.

And someday when she’s ready to move out of her crib, a “big girl” bed will be ready and waiting for her.

My first project for the room, the little dresses art, are a perfect focal point on the longest wall in the room.

And just to keep it real, we still have a diaper pale and plenty of things stored in the closet!

Thanks for stopping by for a tour! I have loved taking you along in the process of creating this space.
