I know I usually share recipes with you all, and occasionally home decor. Today I'm switching things up a bit and sharing some pictures of my baby girl's nursery and some personal stuff too. Mom life with three kids stuff. Feel free to skip this post if it's not your thing.
So Camille is 5 months old now. Where did the time go? And why has it taken me so long to get some pictures of her nursery up on the blog? Good question, but if you have kids you understand... mom life.
If you follow me on Instagram @lilyseclaires you might have caught the little nursery tour I gave a few days ago. If not, I'll do my best to show you around through these pictures. This room used to be my office. The back of the fireplace is in here and there are two doors to the room. One is right off the entryway and the other is in the main hall way off the living room. Since the big kids were used to running through this room on their way to the bathroom I wanted to close off the entrance from the entryway.
I used this tapestry with nursery rhymes on it that I found for $10 at a thrift store to hide part of the door, and this chair and side table (table also thrift store, repainted). I really like the look of this chair, (overstock.com) but, sadly it is so uncomfortable, I hardly ever use it. I'm thinking of selling it and looking for something that doesn't rock since it seems to rub against the brick and I'm worried the fabric will eventually be ruined.
This dresser used to be my mom's when she was a teenager. She found it in the attic at a house they lived in and she stripped, sanded and stained it many years before I was born. The finish matched the hand me down crib perfectly so I didn't touch a thing on it. Just added a changing pad to the top for now. The mirror came from Home Goods.
I mentioned the crib came from a good friend who also gave me the bumper and custom made crib skirt. I took colors from the skirt and made the flowers out of tissue paper and floral moss. They are just stuck to the wall with push pins so I can easily move them if needed.
I found the little rack I use to hang Camille's headbands (mostly purchased on Amazon) from TJ Maxx. The trash can is from Ikea and so is the little cart I use for diapers and baby supplies.
The curtains are from Pottery Barn Kids, but are at least 5 years old. They were in Lily Claire's bedroom for years. The little book case is also PBK, but I found it at a thrift store for $10.
The rug was my biggest purchase for this room. It came from Rugs USA. I can't remember how much I paid for it now, but I had coupons and a good sale so I think it was under $250. It's wool, but super soft. I shed like a mother for a good 8 months, but is't so bad anymore. I really love it, but don't think it would be practical in a main living space due to the shedding and my OCD.
So here's little sweeties's room and here's a little update on how things are going... great! Camille is a super sweet, very easy going baby. She has DDH, developmental dysplasia of the hips and has been in a Pavlik harness since she was 6 weeks old. She has two weeks of treatment left and I'm counting down the days!!! She also has bad acid reflux, to the point that she wasn't gaining weight well, so she takes zantac now and that helps a lot! She hardly fusses, even with these struggles. She is adored by her older sisters and makes our lives complete. We are so lucky to have her!!
I hope life is treating you all well and that you enjoyed this little tour and update on my sweet baby girl! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram to see more pictures!
