The Nursery

When I found out I was having a third girl my first thought was, "Oh no... one more person's hair to do every day!"  My second thought was, "Yeah!  I love little girls!"  And my third thought was,"Dang it, now I don't get to redo my nursery!"  I love redoing rooms, but since my nursery was already set up for a girl I figured there was no point in spending the time and money to change it.  Then I was talking to my friend Carrie about having another girl and she asked me if I was sad that I didn't get to redo the room and of course I said yes.  To my surprise, my hubby, who was listening to our conversation said, "Why can't you redo the room?"  Good point, I thought...why can't I redo the room. After all, both Avery and Sophie had their own specially designed rooms.  Why shouldn't Riley?  And from that moment on, the planning began!

I started by choosing the crib bedding.  I found a beautiful set from a company called Hoohobbers.  It was on clearance for $150 (marked down from $395).  It is a beautiful rose color with an animal print toile.

The dust ruffle has a brown stripe on it, but I really wanted to do something less traditional than brown.  I found the most amazing aqua color and I knew that was the perfect combination!

Amazingly enough, I found the exact fabric that was used to make the crib bedding online so I was able to incorporate it into the window treatments so it looked cohesive.

And then it was just a matter of adding accessories with a little vintage flair!

I really love how it turned out!
