Preparing to welcome our baby girl into the world and a nursery reveal!!

Welcome October! Not only are we welcoming October we are going to be welcoming our baby girl into our lives TOMORROW!! I can't believe the time has finally come that we will get to meet our first baby girl. After living in this house with three boys I am beyond ready for some girl power in this house!

Today I decided to finish up one last project in preparation for tomorrow. Most people are packing bags, cleaning house, fixing meals, etc. Well, I decided to paint a vintage baby doll crib that my great aunt gave me. I thought this would not only be the perfect little memorable piece for our baby girl to play with, but a fun newborn photo prop.

We didn't do much to this piece. I wanted to keep its vintage feel. My hubby secured all of its pieces and simply cut a piece of plywood for its base. I added a couple coats of pink paint and used Martha Stewarts screen printing stencils to add some glittery flowers. Easy enough, huh?

As for the rest of her nursery. Do you realize I never showed you an 'After' ?!

How did that happen.

This room started as quite a disaster just as the rest of the house has. I did a quick little freebie make-over for my youngest son. Then after finding out we were expecting a girl I put both of my boys in the large room and decided to give this small room to the little girl.

It all started with these funky floral curtains I found on Ebay. I purchased them right away. After picking out some coordinating fabrics I got started on Alex's nursery.

We turned a small dresser into a very usable custom hutch and turned a coffee table into a window seat. Then we got to work on painting the walls. 

Early on I decided I didn't want an all pink nursery. You know me by now and know that I don't do anything that is expected. It keeps life more interesting that way. 

After a little help from my Facebook friends I decided on a dark blue.

To glam it up and make it a fun girly space to be in I painted a fun nature mural.

Then we did a special treatment for the other walls. 

 

I will have more details on these later

Okay, enough gibber gabbering and onto the reveal!! I will get together some more posts on make-overs that I did for this space. Until then, enjoy my make-over and wish me luck on our big day tomorrow!!
