Nursery

My mom flew out here two weeks ago and busted her butt on my house as well as helping my sister with hers for the entire time she was out here. I felt bad that she was so busy running back and forth but I am so greatful that she as able to come spend some time with me and help me get my house all situated before Stella gets here. It turned out amazing and it is so nice to have a functional house now, instead of sheets and blankets thumb tacked in the windows and having to go downstairs to get food just to bring it up and make dinner, and having pictures on the walls instead of plain jane walls. It turned out fantastic, but my favorite is the nursery. I cannot wait till Estella gets here so she can start using it. It was a little masculine at first, but once we added the bedding and other little pink items, it turned out to be so girly and adorable! Here are a few pictures of the nursery...


My mom, the Martha she is, back in May when she was out here, painted and reupholstered my glider rocker that has been in storage the past 2 years. It turned out fantastic and matches the rest of the furniture perfectly! She also used the skirt that came with the bedding and made the valance for the window out of it. It turned out so cute!



Here is the crib and bedding. After dealing with all of the drama of the recalled cribs, we just ended up buying a new one and I think it turned out to match the rest of the furniture perfectly!



Here is the quilt that goes with the bedding. Its so cute and girly!!



Here is the bumper pads and crib close up. You cannot really see the detail, but there are little birds, leaves and flowers all on the outside of the bumper pads that match the quilt. We decided to use this crib skirt instead of the striped ones. I think it turned out so adorable with the little tutu skirt.



We decided to take off the closet doors and open it up to put the dresser. It turned out perfect and is so nice to have the extra storage! My Martha mother also made this valance out of the other half of the crib skirt.



Here is the other side of the room with the armoire and swing. Isn't the valance and curtains so fantastic??

Here is the best part of the room....



The chandelier!!! It turned out so perfect and adds just the perfect touch to the room.



For $35 I think I got a killer deal for such an adorable accent.

The room turned out so adorable. Thank you so much mom for all of your help while you were out here!! I cannot wait till she gets here and we can get some use out of this adorable room!! I hope Stella loves it!?

I also wanted to show off more of my mom's amazing talents. While she was here for 2 weeks she made these shades to cover my windows in the kitchen. I had some plantain shudders that covered about 3/4ths of the window, but these look so much better!!



Here are the roman shades. The fabric turned out to match the rest of the kitchen perfectly!! Especially with my cute new table!



Here is a close up of it down.



Here they are both up. They turned out so fantastic!!



Here is a close up of them up.

I just have to say my mom is amazing!! I hate living so far apart, but it is so nice when I get to see her. Next time I see her, she will be flying out to meet baby Estella!!

I hope the next 6+ weeks flies by fast! I cannot wait to meet her!
