Olivia's Nursery [Photos]

My due date is getting close! I thought I better go ahead and post this now if I ever want it to be posted. I have a feeling I am gonna be a busy girl when she arrives. Thats kind of obvious, I guess. :)
We had a fun time decorating and putting her nursery together. I wanted it to be a room that she could grow into, instead of being all baby-ish. So, we went with the "Lizzie" design by Cotton Tale Designs. I bargain hunted in every store available online and got most of the items 30-40% off the original prices. I love cute things, but I am a pretty thrifty girl and hate paying full price. So, here are the pictures. :)



Justin added wainscoting in her room and we replaced the carpet with Oak laminate flooring. They both were done as weekend projects and only took about 2 weeks. We decided to paint her room a light sea blue to match the fabric in her bedding. It is a nice contrast against the reds and pinks.

This is her rocking horse that her papee(My dad) made her from scratch! He is very talented. He painted it to match her room and added an "O" for her initials.

Justin bought me this glider chair as an Anniversary present for our 5th Anniversary this year. I bought some pillows that were meant to go in the crib and used them in the chair to make it match everything else.

This is a dresser I refinished and painted white. I bought some pink knobs at Target and they matched her room perfectly! Best part, it only costed around $15.00 to refinish the dresser entirely and it was the one I used when I was a little girl. :)

This is a little drawer box I picked up at Michaels craft store and painted it. I am going to use it to put her little trinkets in, until she is old enough to do it herself. :) I always loved little trinket boxes when I was little.

The red and white picture frames I painted to match her room. The flowers on the wall are just some decals I found at the dollar store.

This is a little hairbow box I painted today. Picked up the box at Michaels and used some Acrylic paint I had that matched the colors of her room. I am sure she will use it for something else besides hairbows one day.






Her sock friends are waiting on her to arrive so they can play! Justin found these at Sam's Club. They are so adorable!

Her musical mobile and crib.




Her clothes hamper



Her crib quilt hanging above her crib. Until she is old enough to use it we are using as decoration to take up that big wall.


Her toy bag that is hanging on the wall next to her crib. When she gets old enough we will move it to where she can actually reach it to put some toys in.
