oh baby!
we started on the baby’s room awhile ago and i am finally sharing! of course, it’s not done yet but it definitely has it’s roots placed for a cute little girl’s abode! thanks to hubby charming for doing almost all the work. as usual, i have the vision and he has the muscle and tools. we are loving it so far, it’s a small but mighty room!
[getting the crib together in august]
the room was cleared out by early august {again, thanks to hc!!!!} and we had a clean slate to start with! yay! we purchased the crib from ikea {first things first…the babes needs a sleeping area asap!} and hubby charming went to work immediately to put it together! hc did a lot of research on cribs…a crib is a crib is a crib, is what we learned. anything sold in the u.s. is deemed safe by the federal government. it all comes down to aesthetics! you can pay $100 or $2,000 but it will all be safe for the bebe. it’s just not the best idea to use a really old hand me down or any crib that’s old. safety regulations change every few years and you want to make sure your stuff is up to date!
[putting the finishing touches on the dresser]
we bought a grey dresser. there was a lot of debating, should we do all white? will buying a grey dresser not go well with other grey decor we registered for? well, we did it. but we were inspired by other dressers we saw {actually it was hc’s idea with my liking!}. we decided to go with white dresser drawers to tie into the white decor. so hc bought wood, cut out matching dresser drawers, stained them white, and voila! i absolutely loved the results! we then went to anthropologie and purchased pink bubble glass knobs to complete the look!
installing the shelves!
how cute! we purchased two of these from etsy. they were perfect!
the kiki doll and fluffy bunny! and yes…I KNOW, THERE WILL BE NO TOYS, BLANKETS, OR FLUFFY THINGS in the crib once the bebe is here!!!!
we purchased ombre curtains from target {loooooveeeeee target!} and used two panels as the backdrop to the dresser. i love how it looks! it totally adds a pop of color for the room. we debated using these really cool decals or painting but what swayed us to not do it was the possibility of it being temporary. we might not be at our place for long, so why do all that work or spend the money if it wasn’t going to be more of a permanent situation?? so, i love how it ended up looking!
i absolutely love the color combo. it’s mainly grey/white with a sprinkling of light pink, coral, and gold! so fun! chevron rug from pbk…thank you lariss {muwah, you’re the best}!
i love, love these two items {cloud pillow & johan the raccoon}! so adorbs…a gift from my sisters!
the paper tassel garland! it really ties in all the colors within the room. love! decorative letters {a gift from my brother, dan} from rifle paper company. blankets from lori {love you!} and my sisters {muwah!}, from the land of nod. the gold polka dot bedding and changing covers are also from the land of nod {thanks kt and kar…so sweet of you both!}
[i can’t wait to use the sleep sheep…thank you vs ladies!]
[from stella…her cute grey giraffe themed gift! so generous!]
[cloud pillow and ombre blanket from my sisters!]
it’s almost done! i’m debating on this cute, cute cloud mobile i saw online {hmmm, i just don’t want the room to be too fussy}, so we’ll seeeeee!
we LOVE our beautiful grey linen rocking chair, from PBK, {thank you dick and jane! such loving grandparents to baby heintz already!} it was delivered a few weeks ago!! such a critical piece for the baby’s room…i was told by many that having a rocker/glider is a must have! we are so grateful to dick and jane for this wonderful, generous gift!
[plush sheep // PBK – from em – le petit prince // anthropologie – from dana – olivia book // PBK– from dulce – and bookends // land of nod – from dawn! thank you ladies for your very thoughtful gifts!]
[shade from land of nod! thank you ladies at vicki’s!]
[stool from serena and lily – love that store!]
[this adorbs sheep rocker doesn’t fit…right now, but the latest and cutest addition to the bebe’s room! thank you tanya!!!]
we still have a few more things coming {i know! i know you are thinking, “how can we fit anything else into this teeny, tiny room?!”. well, just a wee bit more and i swear and we will be done!”}. overall the room is dunzo! how exciting! we started with just the core pieces {we needed to get that done months ago for peace of mind} and slowly progressed the decorating process {the second priority!} to get the aesthetics down pat.
i want to say thank you, thank you, thank you for all the wonderful gifts from our friends and family!!!! the ones given in person and the ones so kindly sent in the mail {let me tell you, i loved getting all the lovely packages in the mail! who doesn’t?!}. this room wouldn’t be so cute without all of your thoughtful, generous, and heartfelt gifts!!! we feel so grateful for the gifts you have given us…blankets, toys, books, room decor, bedding, clothes, necessities, and all items in-between for baby heintz!
baby heintz is the most grateful one of all…she’s going to be so excited to see, use, and snuggle with all the gifts & love around her!
xoxo
