Abbie's Nursery

Adrian and I decided to get our little baby's room started as far as getting decorated. We already had the furniture purchased, but needed to create a theme, which was more difficult than I thought. I knew I didn't want a whole lot of pink, but also wanted her room to be cute, girly, and cozy. I looked online for different ideas, browsed around in all the baby stores, and finally found something I really liked.

I found bedding that inspired me to create her theme. Her room is a whimsical nature scene with little birds, flowers, and a big tree. I told Adrian that it would look wonderful to have a mural on the wall that matches her bedding. We were looking around to hire someone, but then Adrian decided that he would like to do it!

We woke up early, went to Home Depot and bought paint, and began our big art project! It took 2 days to complete. Adrian did most of the painting and I LOVE it!



Here is the finished mural.

He did another one over her closet.

We still have a lot to get done, but are going to wait until after my shower to see what we get. I would like a matching hamper, valence, and mobil for her room, as well as a glider rocking chair and ottoman. Adrian also wants to add crown molding and frame her window. I can't wait to have it all done!
