Dream Nursery for a Little Girl

Our friend Cory has a gift for creativity, artistry and thriftiness~ a girl after my own heart.  When she asked me to update a crib for their soon to arrive little girl, Paige, I was honored!  So, we'll get the before and after over with so we can get on with the really amazing stuff she did in this adorable nursery!

They had the crib which was certainly classic and would have been just fine.  But as you will see, there is nothing "just fine" in Paige's room!  Cory put her heart into every corner of this space and I am so excited to get to share it with you!

She requested a vintage look~ gray with some white showing through, so I used my ChauxBelle Vintage Finish Paint in No. 5~ Vanilla Paper and No. 4~ Fit of Greige.

I love the way it turned out!

Now, on to the details of this darling room.  These beautiful photos were taken by Kylie over at Kylie Krystine Photography.  She is quite talented so take a minute & go check her out!

Over the crib, each letter in Paige's name was created uniquely with items such as buttons and old tin.    Cory then took an old mantel and distressed it with ChauxBelle No. 5~Vanilla Paper.  The net poms and lace curtains on either side soften the corners and accentuate the crib wall.

 Across the room, an old door {behind the dresser} was re~purposed with chicken wire for holding little bows!  And the shingles over the window were created out of parts that came off of the door.  The pink paint is No. 1~ Wrapped Around My Pinkie.






 Cory picked out a mirror at one of our sales.  The blue is No. 2~Knox Three Times.  And look at the impact the lettering on the lampshade makes for this storybook setting!

 

And most importantly for Miss Paige...
she is surrounded by Godly parents, family and friends who will pray for her, disciple her, and come alongside her as she grows up knowing how much Jesus loves her!

I hope you've been inspired by the creative and beautiful ideas found in her nursery.  Cory, you are pretty spectacular!

Happy painting!
