Nursery

The nursery is more than a year old now, but I find myself loving it more and more as time goes on. The Bean and I spend lots of time playing in here, and I always have a million ideas about what else I could do to add to the decor, but I'm trying to keep it simple so there is room to grow alongside the Bean herself. Before I know it she'll have a say about what she wants on her walls - artwork, chalkboard paint, shelves for dolls, who knows. I'm not sure if I ever did post photos of the rooms details, so here it is better late than never.

Embroidery hoops with scrap fabric above the changing table.

Embroidery hoops - some scrap fabric and some embroidery: whale for The Bean, mountain goat for me, and penguin for Alex.

Pink paint + grey chalkboard paint re-purposed dresser, gifted piggy bank and baskets for lotions/potions and heandbands/socks.

Chalkboard paint is a perfect way to help Daddy remember where the clean baby clothes go.
