The Nursery

It has been a long process, but Sophia's nursery is coming along!  We fell in love with the Hayley bedding at Pottery Barn Kids and then started picking out our paint color.  We decided a pale yellow would look really good, so Scott and I put on our painters clothes and got to work!  We then had crown molding installed and the room was ready for her furniture.  I could not wait for my showers to get the bedding so I went ahead and bought it (Pottery Barn Kids already knows me too well-I'm in there almost every week!)  Everything was looking good, but the plain walls were driving me crazy.  We decided to use decals that matched her bedding to create wall art behind her crib.  Being the great team that we are, Scott drew the tree trunk on the wall, I painted it, and then we added branch decals to complete the look.  It turned out so much better than we expected and we hope Sophia enjoys looking at all our hard work.  Above the dresser/changing table we hung her name and three picture frames that will display pictures of Sophia.  Hanging letters may not seem like a difficult task, but it is! Especially when you spell her name Sohpia the first time.  After 3 hours and many measurements, we had everything spaced out how we wanted it.  Can't wait until the frames hold real pictures of our baby girl!  Now I feel like we have a good start on the nursery and I can relax for a little while.
