Seriously, my daughter is a toddler (where does the time go?!?! Jellybean, please stop growing up so fast) and I have yet to share her adorable shabby chic nursery! While a few things have changed since she was born, like lowering the height of the mattress and the addition of toys, her shabby chic nursery is finally making its debut.
Brainstorming ideas for Jellybean’s nursery began before I even knew if we were having a boy or a girl. I settled on a nautical theme for a boy and shabby chic theme for a girl. You can check out the Pinterest board here. Despite my favorite color being purple I was drawn to pale pink accents for the nursery. The hubby was pretty much on board with whatever made me happy. His one request once we found out Jellybean was a girl was to keep the pink to a minimum … fair enough, fair enough my love.
Picking out the wall color was a huge undertaking. I’m fairly obsessed with gray walls and finding the perfect gray is, well, challenging. It couldn’t be too blue or purple or tan … I had to have (what I consider) a true gray. My sister and (soon to be) brother-in-law came into town for a weekend and spent at least an hour at Benjamin Moore with me looking at samples, pontificating and eventually settling on the Harbor Gray sample. If they weren’t there to assist it is possible the nursery would still have sampled gray colors all over the walls hehehe. I was worried the Harbor Gray would be too dark for the room so the sales associate suggested I get it at 75% or 50%. I am fairly certain we went with the 75% …. and it was total perfection.
I love how the room came out. It’s absolutely what I envisioned!! I ran out of time and energy before JB was born and didn’t fill the frames. I’m ashamed Jellybean is almost 20 months old and I am yet to fill the picture frames, but at the same time I kind of like them empty.
