soothing nursery

while i realize this is a tad delayed, i thought i would post a few pics of my most favoritest room in our house just before mollie turns ONE.  that reason being, it has calming abilities and it sleeps my most precious angel. 

personally, i see a nursery as being a neutral room.  even before i found out her gender, i envisioned something that could carry over from the rest of the house, as opposed to being the typical pink or blue.  while those are certainly cute rooms too, i saw the colors and textures as more organic and raw from nature.  soothing for the baby as well as myself.  i am pleased to say that my idea transpired into reality.  thinking back when i would nurse 10 times a day in that room, i never really wanted to leave.  and now when naptime or bedtime arrives, i feel mollie's calmness as we enter into her little haven.

crewel fabric for bumper, blanket, and pillow--leftovers from kitchen curtains in MV, thanks mom!

i chose the jenny lend crib because that's what i had and i thought it was the most simplistic(plus it shows off the pretty bedding better than the bulkier ones)

i am very thankful that the glider is so comfortable and sturdy.  it was made by the same girl that did the bedding.  i chose the brown mattlesse pipped in sage because it would be durable and comfortable.  and it is.

the changing table is great.  magic moon-think it closed recently.  the black and white photos above (which are crooked b/c mollie likes to play with them while her diaper is being changed) are one of each of my parents-mollie and billy, tommy's parents-brenda and jim, and of course mollie's parents:-).  we were all around 3 or 4 yrs old.

kathlyn painted the toy chest.  mollie loves it!

these vintage nursery rhymes were a gift.  a very creative, thoughtful and adored gift!
