Project Nursery - If Baby M is a Girl

Ever since the day I found out I was pregnant I have been dreaming up ideas in my head about what the nursery will look like. I know we have some time to get it all done but this mama likes to be prepared {hello, I bought a crib when I was 7 weeks preggo with my son, talk about early start}!

With the arrival of a new brother or sister for J, many friends and family have been asking where the baby room will be. It's already a known fact that our house has 3 bedrooms {plus an additional office} but everyone knows the 3rd bedroom is home to my studio/craft room.

Well. Due to these recent and upcoming events, the studio will have to be moved/downsized. Everything that you see inside the room now will be moved to the office. I am pretty confident that with the right organizing techniques I will be able to fit everything in there nicely and still be able to utilize all my stuff.

The long white table has already been taken out. It now sits in the storage room out in the garage. It actually works good out there for all of Josh's tools and what not, so it wasn't completely a lost cause when deciding what to do with it.

Today I am showing you my nursery inspiration for Baby M if 'she' is in fact a girl {next week I will show you my inspiration is 'he' is a boy}.

All of these items are inspiration. Some of them are way to pricey for my liking, however I am hoping I can possibly snag something up 'similar' in taste and style for much cheaper.

1. Crib - Child Craft London Euro Style Stationary Crib $199.90 on Amazon {originally $239.99}. I really want a modern type crib for this baby. I like classic white and I also like grey. I like the simple lines and style of this particular crib and for the price, it ain't to bad compared to some of the more 'traditional' types of cribs you would find at the big box baby stores and Target.

2. Glider - Babyletto Nara Glider $749.00 at Babies R Us. YAAAA not paying almost 800 bucks for a chair however a glider is a must. We didn't have a glider with Jayden. We did have an old hand made rocking chair that was passed down and although it was nice, rocking a newborn at 3 in the morning on a stiff rocking chair isn't exactly all that ideal....A close friend of mine who is due within the next couple of weeks snagged a similar glider chair {and ottoman} off craigslist, practically brand new, for about $100.00 for their nursery. I have been scouring craigslist like nobodies business for something similar in color/style!

3. Crib Sheets & Pillows/Blankets - Pebble Grey Crib Sheets and Rabbit Patch Collection from Little Auggie $215.00 for the set. I love the little simple design of the Forrest animals and the colors on the sheets/blankets. I don't think I can shell out $215.00 for some sheets though. I do believe Etsy will have what I am looking for, and what better way to buy something hand made!

4. Rug - Herringbone Rug from Urban Outfitters. This rug I might be snagging up quicker then I thought. The baby room isn't exactly huge so a 5x7 will work perfectly. This 5x7 rug from Urban Outfitters is $89.00! Not to bad. Do any of you have this rug? How is it holding up?

5. Baby - Decor - Items - The owl is a little bank and is $12.00 @ Urban Outfitters. The cute little knitted animals are made by Harvesting Heart on Etsy and are listed as $35.00 and the wooden frame is also from Urban Outfitters and is priced at $20.00.

6. Table Lamp - Eden Table Lamp $129.00 @ Land of Nod. Craigslist, Target... pretty much anywhere I know I will be able to find a simple shaped lamp, even with new paint and possibly a new drum shade, will be much, much cheaper then $129.00. I didn't want the nursery to look like a bottle of pepto-bismol blew up all over the room, but at the same time I did want to have some pink. Just enough to be girly, but not to over the top.

7. Dresser - Steppe 6-drawer Dresser from Crate and Barrel. I'm not even going to list the price on this bad boy. I will let you click on the link and see for yourself. Geeez Louise! We have a couple of local Goodwills and Waterfront Rescue Missions around here that typically sell a lot of the 'vintage/retro' style furniture. I am pretty confident I will find something at one of them to work in with the nursery. That's where I got Jayden's dresser and for $20.00 too!

8. Curtains - Dawn Earth Embroidered Chevron Window Panels by Mudhut $39.99-$49.99 @ Target. I like chevron but not a whole bunch of chevron. I like these curtain panels because they have the chevron I like but it's not to over powering. I also like the colors too. I have never bought curtain panels for full price and have usually always made my own with queen/king size sheets and my sewing machine, but I might have to buy some actual curtains for once because I really like these!

9. Be Brave Artwork & Midwest Floral Bouquet Artwork - Be Brave is from Studio Mela on Etsy and is listed for $18.00 {8x10} and the Midwest Floral is from Little low Studio on Etsy and is listed for $16.00. Both super cute and love the colors!

So there are the beginning stages of creating a nursery for Baby M. Of course at this point, assuming Baby M is a girl. I really want to have a nursery with some color but at the same time that's also soothing and relaxing. I don't want anything 'loud' or super bright. At least night yet anyways :)
