we're back. I mean, kind of. I guess I should say we're coming back. slowly.
I'm so excited to FINALLY share the nursery with you. this project was the perfect escape from the dreariness of pregnancy. I put my heart and soul into grey's room, and it has become my favorite place in the house. nearly everything in the room is handmade, thrifted, or handed down from older brother. read on for specifics.
the bedding: made from fabric in the Dwell Studio Home line at Joann's. having made mack's crib bedding too, I knew what to/not to do this time around. It was MUCH easier. I didn't even consider burning the project. not even once.
the dresser: my childhood dresser refinished. HUGE shout out to my mom and dad for toting it down from Utah, and helping me fix it up. best. parents. ever.
an apothecary jar for binkies is a must, obviously.
handmade plushies.
love the swivel mirror and detail of the top...
old picture frames sitting in storage with a new coat of spray paint=no cost decor.
another handmade plushie. mack's exact words: "that owl looks straaaaange." no fooling him.
the artwork: photoshop projects. the aqua balloon print is my favorite. :)
thrifted chandelier. one of my favorite touches.
his blankie made by mommy. when I gave it to him in the hospital, I explained to mack that this is grey's special blankie. he promptly picked it up and began rubbing the blankie on grey's nose, just like he does with his own blankie whenever it's in his hands. he's already showing him the ropes. :)
and there you have it. I've made a few more little touches, and I'm in the dregs of a project that has officially become the bain of my existance. we'll see if it ever actually ends up on a wall in the room. but for now, this is his little spot.
check out the before and after:
...and the most important before and after of all:
the little one. he's a little piece of heaven. :)

love this post. everything about it.
Glad to see you guys are doing so well! Love the room! You are so creative. Hope those boys are having fun being brothers!!!
I love the nursery, those colors are amazing!! Nice work with the bedding, it has been too intimidating for me to try :).
Seriously, I need one of you around here... our house is greatly lacking decor! You are amazing! And he is adorable!! I can't believe you did all that while pregnant too! Wow!
Absolutely beautiful! I've been looking forward to this post :). I can tell you put your heart and soul into it--and I can tell that you must, therefore, have a beautiful heart and soul. So glad you now have a healthy little baby to put in it too! Good luck during the next few months--I'm loving my little 4-month-old, but life is awfully exhausting these days...
I can see why you waited. This nursery needs it's own blog. You are gifted. I love everything about it. Love the colors, love the bedding, love the dresser, love the handmade plushies. Grey is a lucky guy. Can I hire you to decorate every room in my house please? Thanks.
OMG! Is it really your childhood dresser? :O I'm just amazed! You're the best mummy ever, I'm sure! :) :* This room is so cute and cosy... Did you do the plushies yourself? haha, I also LOVE the concept of binkie's jar! :D <3
But the thing I love the most is your smile when you're hugging your little angel :) these two photos are so touchable that it nearly makes me cry.
I'll follow your blog od course, I just love it <3
xoxo, And :*
Yay!!! It looks fabulous, of course. Love the creativity, colors, and the concepts that make this look so peaceful and... CUTE!
My favorite part is definitely the chandelier. So fun.
Oh, but then there is Grey... that's my favorite.
Very cute Libby! I wish I could have talked to you more yesterday during all of the hoopla!
I love it! you're so artistic. I have a HUGE fear of painting & changing things. You did an awesome job & everything turned out really super cute together. Love the colors too!
It's been a while, but I thought I'd drop in and see how you were doing. Things look wonderful and I'm so happy for you! Congrats on Grey, he's adorable :)
Grey's room is beyond perfect...I see you all over it. Great job!
Libby- great job. Super cute. Love the wall of sayings. Everything turned out great. can't wait to see you in a few weeks:)
Can I just say the most adorable nursery ever!! I wish I had your talent young lady!! Love you much!
The room looks AMAZING!!! Beautiful and very impressed with all your hard work and thrifting.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! His nursery is a little piece of heaven, just like him!
Can't wait for the bane to be done.
Libby, I seriously love you! My life would be sad without you in it. For every reason. Loved this post. Love your creativness, and love your new baby Grey. I want to hold him bad! You know how I get with little babies!!! :) I seriously wish I could hire you to do some rooms in my house. Serious. Don't laugh and blow me off. Rude. :)
