Sloane's Nursery

I never blogged about Sloane's nursery. Soren has a fever today and I have awful allergies, so it's a good time to finish a million blog posts.  

I still have several things I'd like to do in Sloane's nursery, but here are some pics of how it looks, so far. She still sleeps in her pack n play in my room right now because: 

a) I'm anxious and paranoid and still can't sleep if she's too far away. 

b) we still have occasional nights like last night, when she was awake from 1-4am trying to poop. I don't want her to keep the girls awake when we have a rough night. 

When we're ready she'll probably start with just naps in her room first. Here it is, waiting for her.  Looking around at the pieces in the room reminds me of many women I care about. Let's take a little tour. 

The white wicker dresser in the right corner is used for storage with drawers designated for barbies, dollhouse, cars, dressup, etc. Julie, Delaney, made the adorable vintage button S monogram. It matches perfectly. I love it. 

I bought 10 throw pillows secondhand from a friend and recovered them to match the nursery. The daybed was given to Reese by Jenny Hatch when Reese was 3 and is still one of my favorite pieces of furniture. I might end up sleeping on it the first few nights Sloane spends in her own room. Kasey made the beautiful mint and coral blanket draped over the headboard. It's super soft! 

This fabulous swan rocker was from Eunice's home. The arms are actually shaped like swans. Its a mother goose chair. She said she pictured little Soren sitting next to me with a book while I nursed and rocked Sloane. She pictured exactly what happens. Soren keeps a little stack of books on the side table.  

The side table is also a previously owned piece and came from the lovely Kim Neal. It stores the boppy pillow, breast pump, and burp cloths. I ipcycled the thrifted lamp and made the canvas artwork on the wall (one is still incomplete but will say "She believed she could, so she did" on it. The others say, "beYOUtiful" and the lyrics to "baby mine" painted into a heart silhouette. The frame is a print I ordered from my friend Teresa with the Young Women's theme on it. Words to live by.

Sloane's crib. I may never get around to it, but have good intentions for a super ruffly crib skirt and a flowery mobile/wall treatment thing. I made the quilt, bumper, and crib sheets. 

I love this happy little space and I love spending time in here.  It's a precious baby room for a very precious baby girl.
