Creighton's Nursery Tour
Wednesday, September 23, 2015
I thought I would have this posted a long time ago...turns out I'm not very quick at getting anything done anymore. There's this sweet little boy who I would much rather spend my time with than sitting in front of the computer screen...so this has taken a back burner. But I still want to try to get some posts up every once in a while! I know I will like looking back on them! Is it weird to go backwards and post updates from the past few months?
Anyway....wanted to show you a quick little tour of Creighton's nursery! We bought our first house in April and we are LOVING every minute we have been here! It's just the perfect little home for our family. I was absolutely thrilled that I would have a new space to decorate for our little guy. This is something I have dreamed of doing my whole life. In high school home economics class we had an assignment of making a scrapbook of sorts. We could choose designing our dream wedding or a room or something like that. Most of the rest of the girls in my class chose to design and plan their wedding (probably much more normal choice for a high school girl that what I chose). I chose to design my baby's nursery. So...even when I was in high school I was dreaming of the day I would get to decorate a room for my precious baby. My tastes and style have changed dramatically from when I made that scrapbook, but the reality of this dream coming true truly meant the world to me.
Despite the fact that I had waited a long time to be able to decorate a nursery...it took me FOREVER to decide how I wanted it. It was maybe a week before he was born before I finally called it finished. I think I was driving everyone crazy because when they would ask what the nursery was going to look like, I couldn't ever give them an answer. I'm so incredibly pleased with the way it turned out though. By far, my most favorite room in the house.
Come along and take a look at Creighton's little room...a perfect space for our beautiful beach baby.

Charly's Room Tour
Monday, August 11, 2014
I showed you Cole's room a couple days ago...and now here's Charly's room. This sweet girl gave me huge confidence boosts as I worked on her room. She was telling me over and over again just how much she LOVES her room so much and how she was so happy with everything that I was working on. She was always anxious to know what I was working on and was always by my side wanting to know what she could help with. It made it all worth is just seeing how excited she was about getting a new room!
We had to incorporate lots of pink for this girl! I always feel like I do better with boys...I love shopping for boy clothes, and I feel as if they are just easier to decorate for too. But I had so much fun with Charly's room. It was fun getting to add little bits of gold, cute fabrics, and little girly accessories. I love how much she loves this room, and I have to say that I am so pleased with how it turned out. Let's take a tour of her room...
The pinks in the room aren't quite as bold as they show in the photos...I'm still working on perfecting my interior photography, so hang with me!
