Miss Bliss Priss’ Room Reveal

“A girl should be two things:
classy and fabulous.”
-Coco Chanel

So, to say we had fun decorating a little girl’s room would be a bit of an understatement. Don’t get me wrong…I’ve always LOVED decorating little boy’s rooms too! But, there’s something about PINK…and GOLD…and SPARKLES!!! I just can’t get over the fact that a bundle of pink will be LIVING in that room in a few weeks! Who will she look like? How girly will she be? The thought of it all is TOO exciting for words!

It is without further adieu that we present her room to you. There are a few things we can’t add until after she’s born…but, for the most part, it’s finished…

Come on in…

The walls are Sherwin-Williams Diminutive Pink. It’s the perfect, soft shade for our little miss.

Now, here’s a clockwise glance at some of the details…

The boys painted these sweet prints for her room. They used acrylic paints on watercolor paper and then chose sweet wooden accents that they painted and put on top. Then, Mammer had the PERFECT frames. I love how they turned out…

Here’s her changing table/dresser and little shelves. The darling gold polk-a-dot changing pad cover is from the talented Holly at Modified Tot. She has an amazing Etsy store with custom bedding and accents. You MUST check it out!

The pretty knobs are from Hobby Lobby and this fun, fabric mirror on her closet door is from Ikea.  

 


 

I do love her layered drapes…another Ikea find…
 
The pictures to the left of her crib are super special. Three of the baby pics I got when I was pregnant with Quinn and waiting to find out if he was a boy or a girl. The pink flowers were painted by my Great Aunt Imogene and the sweet baby on the right was in Slickpaw’s nursery when he was a baby.  Here’s another look at her bed. The bedding was some I LOVED at a boutique when I was pregnant with Nash…but it was CRAZY expensive. When I found out that Bliss was a girl, it randomly popped up on a resale shop on my Facebook feed. The WHOLE set…bumper, bed skirt, valance, laundry hamper, canopy, 4 sheets and lamp shade…for $100. I quickly snagged it! I think it’s so sweet!
Mammer tied lots of sweet little bows…
    
You’ve already seen her stunning 3 foot monogram…I love it so!…
To the right of her crib is her rocking chair and little table. We’re ordering a print after Bliss is born that will go above the chair. I can’t wait for it to hang there. And, I love the way the double rocker looks in here. (a gift from Nana & Pawpaw) The accent pillows (one a gift from Mammer & Slickpaw and one from Modified Tot) are a perfect touch!
   

Then, my Gackey’s dresser! I’ve always loved it so much but I love it even more in my little girl’s room. We added fun knobs from Hobby Lobby and my collection of saucers to the wall!

Her crown and baby doll are just ready and waiting for newborn pics…
 

 

 

   
And now that the closet and drawers are filling up…showers have been attended (details coming soon)…Quinn’s birthday has been celebrated (more details coming soon on that, too!) and the bags for the hospital are officially packed, we’re ready! We can’t wait to meet our Miss Bliss Priss and show her the room we’ve worked on so hard for her!!!

Nash’s Nursery

“You can build cabinets and cupboards, hang expensive draperies, buy a new television, lay a rug; but for really doing something to your home, there's nothing like rolling in a baby bed."

It’s finished!…for now, anyway! :) It has been a work in progress…and, since my nesting instinct didn’t kick in quite as strong this time around, it wasn’t finished overnight. But, we have had MORE fun getting things ready for our littlest man! With the help of a friend, the room is beautifully painted! And, thanks to my two handymen (and their trusty dog, Kia), a cool new light fixture is hung and all of the furniture is assembled perfectly!   Every time I would work on the room during the day, the big brother was close by. One afternoon, he felt it was much more fun to watch from a distance while jumping on his bed! :)…After all of that stuff was complete, we got to focus on the FUN stuff. And, by we, I mean us and Slickpaw! …He has searched for and collected the COOLEST things that make Nash’s room truly one of a kind. From hubcaps to skateboards to hood ornaments to magazine ads…this little boy has it ALL!

For those of you that don’t know, from 1950-1956, there was a car called the Nash Rambler. And, during that time it became quite the popular little car…so much so that there’s a song about it! :) … There’s also a skateboard brand called NASH. It was BIG in the 80’s…and they are pretty collectable!

Anyway, when we realized that our little boy’s name was “famous” for those two reasons, we went with a retro feel for his room. It was SUCH a different direction from Quinn’s…which made it fun…and is so personal for him! I truly think it’s full of things that he’ll cherish for always!

So, come on in…and feel privileged!!!…you’re getting to see it before the owner does!!! …
Here you can see the start of his “N” collection. It’ll take some time for his collection to match his brother’s “Q” collection…but, it’s a cool start!… Nash’s Daddy designed SO many cool things for the nursery…including this cool “brother” skateboard and the monkey one below! He also did the fun “That’s how I roll” print…and another cool print will be added to the other frame once we know Nash’s stats! …  

   
The hubcaps and all of these ads are in this room thanks to Slickpaw! Isn’t it all so cool!?… Quinn painted this for his baby brother…He’s so proud of it!…  
Overall, we are so proud of this sweet little room! (Even though I don’t think pictures EVER do a room justice!) We love to go inside and stare at it…just dreaming of the little boy that will soon come home to see it! We love that it’s something he’ll grow into and that we’ll be able to add to all of the fun collections! …So, for now, we’ll enjoy the fact that it’s spotless and all brand new…but, oh how we’re anxious for it to be Nash’s home!
