Project Nursery - Act 1

One of the most fun parts of being pregnant (aside from seeing the baby, feeling the baby and hearing the heartbeat of course) is planning the nursery. I was dreaming of our first baby's nursery before we even conceived.

We've chosen our smallest guest room as the nursery. How much space can one tiny human need? So far, that answer seems to be a lot! But with proper planning, organization and thoughtful execution, I think it will work out just fine.

Follow me on this journey of creating Oliver's Nest and feel free to add suggestions (well except on his name, paint colors and furniture as those are set in stone). :)

Here's the project board I've created for inspiration after many, many hours of research:


Tomorrow my always-willing-to-help parents are coming over to paint the walls (Thyme Green - much brighter than pictured here due to scanning), paint the closet (light grey) and put up crown moulding. We'll be ordering the crib, mattress and dresser next week. I already have the adorable owl sheets and pillow from DwellStudio. Not pictured is a recliner that's being slipcovered in white as well as a crib skirt that's still in the design stage.

We are so excited to see this nursery come together!

Happy Painting!
