I've been meaning to do a nursery tour for a while now, as I love reading these posts - any excuse for a good nosey! We have been adding new bits here and there to Isabella's nursery since she was born, so kept putting off doing a nursery tour. It's still not completely finished but she'll be out of the nursery before I do this if I don't get on with it!
Creating
a nursery for our daughter has been so much fun, but not without its
own amount of stress! As you may know we bought our house back in
December and it needed a lot of work doing on it. Obviously we had until
Isabella was born to try and get as much done as possible. With around 3
weeks left before Isabella was due it was looking like we wouldn't get
time to do the nursery, as we were still working on the bathroom and
kitchen! So we decided to get a decorator in to wallpaper and paint her
nursery. It was an expensive way of doing it but I'm so glad we did
because it meant I could put together her nursery during my maternity
leave. Nesting definitely played a part in wanting to set up her nursery
so much.
We wanted to keep the decoration in the room pretty neutral, so that it's an adaptable space in the future. There is the odd pop of colour, namely the cot bed, otherwise it's grey's, whites and pinks. There are lots of photo's, so let's get on with it...
HENSVIK Cabinet with shelf unit and HENSVIK changing table top - IKEA - £60 together
Little Lane Changing Mat and Liner - Mothercare - £14.99 similar here
KASSETT White Storage Boxes - IKEA - £2.75 for 2 pack
Grey Star Storage Basket - H&M - £1.99 (similar here)
White Wicker Basket - The Range - £8.99 for 3 pack
Grey Star Storage Box - TK Maxx - £5.99
Peg Bag (we keep socks in it) - Cath Kidston Outlet - reduced to £7 (similar here)
At the bottom of the wardrobe there are shelves, which we use to store nappies, wipes, cotton wool etc. We've been collecting nappies that have been on offer, hence the varying sizes. It's surprising how much you can fit!
FROSTA Stool in Pale Blue - IKEA - £8 (similar here)
My very talented auntie made the rabbit!
Animal Number Cards - Paperchase - £2.50 each
Victoria Rose Navy Changing Bag - Cath Kidston Outlet Store - reduced to £30 (new range here)

Setting up a nursery for your baby is so lovely isn't it?! Before Isabella was born I'd walk past it imagining what it would be like with her in it and now she's almost outgrown her Moses basket she's going to have to move into there soon. Not sure how ready I am though?!? Haha

Your nursery is absolutely beautiful. I love the cot, the colour and the chair. A really lovely room x
ReplyDeleteI love the cot too! I had a completely different vision for my nursery and could not find the types of things I was after at reasonable prices. But I think its come together nicely anyway. I love peeking into other peoples homes! You have done a great job!
ReplyDeleteOoo me too - I'm so nosey! Haha I agree, it can be so hard to find nursery accessories that are affordable and fit in with your image. I wasn't planning on having a colourful cot but we saw it on offer in Mothercare and gel in love :) looking out for bargains is the best way!

What an absolutely beautiful nursery! We did ours as much as we could before Lily was born but now that we're moving, it's just a room for boxes at the moment, such a shame! I am still nesting even though she is here and can't wait until we're all moved and settled and I can get her space sorted for her.
ReplyDeleteIt's all gorgeous but I especially love the chair and the cot, the colour scheme is also very nice & gentle, perfect for a baby :) So cute, comfy and cosy!

Aww thank you! It will be nice to set up Lily's nursery again in your new house - making a little home for your baby/child is the best feeling :)

Oh my gosh, that is beyond perfection! Great idea with the number cards :) And what an incredible library!
ReplyDeleteOh wow what a beautiful nursery, I love it. We have the wardrobe and am a big fan of Ikea. I'm going to have to get the chevron basket, I love all things chevron at the moment. Thanks for linking to #PickNmix
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, I especially love the corner with the books and seat, and I have an obsession with storage boxes so all of those as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to #PicknMix again lovely :) It's open again tomorrow!

Gorgeous room and the colour palette you've chosen is beautiful - the grey is stylish but warm at the same time X #HomeEtc (blogging at Boo & Maddie)
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with that cot!!! I know what you mean about wanting to share when everything's perfect, but I truly believe that a room is never 100% "done"; you'll always want to add to it and evolve it. x

That's a gorgeous cot and a beautiful colour - and i love those animal number prints, too cute :) #homeetc
ReplyDeleteOh I am in LOVE with the nursery - it is so gorgeous. I love how tidy and organised it is. We have very little storage space in my daughter's room and it's one thing we could really do with more of.
ReplyDeleteThat cot is absolutely stunning, I've never seen one like that. And how lucky to have such a talented auntie, that bunny rabbit is beautiful. Does she sell them?
Jenna at Tinyfootsteps xx
Aww thank you :) She's doesn't sell them, though I'll have to suggest it to her!

What a lovely room! I love the retro styling of the cot — and the lovely cot bumper too — just gorgeous! It's a lovely room for her to grow into too, not too 'babyish' which is something I love in a baby's room!! Thanks so much for linking up with #HomeEtc — hope to see you again next week! x
