Putting together a girl nursery has been a bigger challenge than I originally anticipated. It wasn't until about five years ago that I actually embraced the color pink (which are still found sparingly in both my home and wardrobe). I mean, my room in high school was navy, gold, and cream. Not a fleck of pink to be found anywhere.
When we discovered M² was a she, and not he (like I swore M² would be), my mind immediately raced to just how was I going to decorate her room. I've been so submersed in all things boy that the idea of frills and tulle, and PINK, was (and still is) a bit overwhelming.
If you know me at all, you know that I'm pretty much obsessed with butterflies (I mean, we released 100 Monarch butterflies on our wedding day), so I knew those simply would have to be incorporated throughout the room.
Thus far, it's been interesting to find a nice balance of soft and sweet, but not too pink or too much matchy-matchy. The room is still very much a work in progress, but here are a few items that have been the inspiration for M²'s nursery.

Oh gorgeous!! There are so many fun ways to incorporate butterflies and touches of pink ;) Mia's room isn't nearly as pink as I thought it would be... ha ha! But my mom made her mobile and it's GORGEOUS! I'm off to find you the blog post showing her simple room so that you can see the butterflies we have in it!
ReplyDeleteMy babes will be sharing a room so that we can keep our guest room and I'm totally stressing on how to decorate it! At first I wasn't going to change anything (because I don't want to get rid of the mobile for Mia, I seriously LOVE it) but now I'm thinking I might go with a gender neutral animal type room. Mia is obsessed with animals so it might actually make her really happy...and then the room won't be too feminine for baby boy :) But I'm the worst at putting this stuff together. I'm gonna need some serious help in the decor department. Actually, I need help with inspiration for the bedroom as a whole, ha ha!
Okay, so I'm realizing these aren't the best pictures... especially of the mobile. But you get the idea :) http://barbieandkenbrinkerhoff.blogspot.com/2014/10/mias-nursery-reveal.html
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it all come together!
ReplyDeleteI love your inspiration photos! Girly, but yet not overly so, and just plain gorgeous! I can't wait to see the end result!
ReplyDeleteFYI, wanted to see the bedding link and it's not working. But anyway, back to the colors. LOVE them, and as you know, Ady has butterflies on her wall! Also, you could TOTALLY make a mobile like that for way less! Just buy a butterfly cut out from Michaels and BAM! :) Those butterfly sphere's are AWESOME too!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteso shabby chic! i am surprised, but i love it!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteSuper feminine, classy, and GORGEOUS! I love the butterfly theme and the sentiment behind it! And with Marcus' adorably cute nautical big boy room, I can't wait to see how this one turns out!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sounding. Can't wait for that to come together. You nailed it with Marcus' boy room. I think you'll achieve greatness here too - esp with mom's help eh. I love the butterfly mobile. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!! It's feminine but not OVERLY girly and pink. But my favorite thing is that mobile! Please get that for her! (haha, it's like it's my room). I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteIt will look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the gold, cream and soft pink! Can't wait to see the room!

ReplyDeleteLove love love love love!!!! I can't wait to see how it all turns out! Decorating the nursery is the highlight of pregnancy! :) Well, other than the kicks and the actual getting a baby part. :)
