Drum roll please! "A Sweet Girl's Nursery" is finally pulled together, just in time as this wee little one should be arriving on the scene in the next couple of weeks! For my cousin Jesse, this was a labor of love, no detail to small to be considered, no project insurmountable, all done on a small budget. Jesse wisely chose to use a few pieces that she and her husband already owned (the rug, leather chair and ottoman, lamp and side table) which helped keep costs down. Added bonus? The rug created the beautiful and classic inspiration for the room.
Jesse and I had a ball working on the nursery together, all long distance, via phone, e-mail, facebook, i-chatting and texting, all without me ever setting foot in the space.Jesse is a lot like my CSIL in that if I give her and idea or direction, she runs with it.
And now.... another drum roll, here it is...!
The vintage prints were a find the Jesse had picked up early on, not sure how they would work in the room, but inspired by the scenes depicted and the colors.
How about the lovely, girly chandy?
And the perfect lamp, which belonged to our Grandma...
The gallery wall is so sweet, filled with embroidery hoops framing fabrics and vintage doilies, crocheted booties and bib, even a yarn wrapped letter, complete with a fabric flower from Jesse's wedding.
And just because a good reveal always gains perspective when you can see where the space began, here we are...before!
And my Design Concept Board, tweaked a few times to reflect a change of direction or two along the way.
And the lovely Mama to be....

Many thanks to photographer extraordinaire, Kelly Gorney for photographing the room and allowing me to use the photos here. Kelly has a beautiful blog where she shares photos from her shoots, check it out, the girl's got crazy talent! I'm guessing that this "Sweet Little Miss" will be appearing there after her newborn session....

Move on to post #2.
Read about the DIY dresser/changing table.
And then the DIY Roman Shades,
and finally the DIY Crib Skirt.
As with any room, I am sure that things will evolve in this nursery once the special occupant arrives. One change already in the works is a built-in bookcase and radiator cover being built by a friend to go between the windows. I'll be sure to share once that is installed.
Thanks for following along in this Room Rx process, I am so proud of Jesse and how she was able to fulfill the vision for this nursery, great work girl!

Yeah, I love a reveal. This is so soothing and baby-like...not in a baby way! How exciting for the new family.
What a beautiful mommy! You both did a wonderful job, the space is sweet and classic. I always love rooms that include sentimental pieces!
The room calms me and makes me smile- Thank you for everything, Cathy. All of our love and attention can be felt in this bedroom. I am so glad we share some creative blood- doing this together was SO MUCH FUN!!! You are one seriously talented lady! <3
so so beautiful! i just love it all! ALMOST makes me want to have a baby, but not quite. but it's that good. ;)
Wow, what a beautiful reveal! That is one lucky little baby :). I love all the choices you guys made, and that gallery wall could not be cuter.
Gorgeous!!! I absolutely love the direction that this room went and then you and Jessie worked so hard on - the perfect blend of old and new. A beautiful color palette, sentimental pieces, and comfort. Really beautiful - you should submit to Ohdeedoh! And Jessie wears pregnancy well - what a beautiful Mamma!
Aw, what a pretty, pretty room! Everything came together so well, Cathy and Jesse! Love those vintage prints and the gallery wall. And that crib gets me every time:) You guys are going to have so many special moments in this room...it really does make a difference when you are surrounded by a space you love. Good luck with labor and delivery;)
I've been waiting for this reveal and the wait was worth it! This is a beautiful room. It's so feminine and pretty, yet doesn't scream "baby." It looks so classic and I love that she incorporated special family keepsakes as well.
Such a beautiful room! I love that they used pieces they already owned and your DIY projects are awesome. I'm still in love with that rug!
Cathy, where the HELL were you when I was producing small humans and shoving them unceremoniously into a converted office? This is soooo beautiful, really. What a great room! (Oh, and notice how I didn't even say anything about how they grow up and make messes and start to stink and--god forbid--speak. The beauty of this room has transformed me into a Nice Person!)
Cathy, you (and your cousin) should be proud of this one! I love that rug which sets off the whole room and is inspiration for the color scheme. The embroidery hoops and the vintage prints are adorable. Lucky baby girl :)
Love that nursery and you did a FANTASTIC job with that mood board! The inspiration is perfect. Thanks for linking up to our party. We're your newest linky follower!
The room is absolutely STUNNING! You both worked together SO well to create a beautiful, serene and classic space for the special little lady. I cannot WAIT to meet her! Great work, ladies!!!!!!!!!!!
This room is absolutely darling! I love all of the sweet touches you've added - and those vintage hoops are just perfect! Thanks for linking up to my Room Evolution party - I'm going to be featuring your project for tomorrow's March kick off party. Feel free to stop by and grab a "featured" button. :-)
