Baby Girl Nursery Progress and Sneak Peek
We made a ton of progress in our second baby girl nursery over the few weekends before Bellamy’s arrival. It felt so therapeutic to have some art on the walls, curtains hung and baby gear unpacked. In all reality, the nursery wont be “finished” until after Bellamy is ready to transition out of our room and into her crib. However, having nothing done in the nursery was starting to stress Jesse and I both out, so we definitely wanted to get some things done before bringing her home.

The biggest time-saver for this space is that we decided not to repaint the room. It was already a light, calm gray, so I decided to leave it that way and focus on adding color via the decor. This is a huge difference between this baby girl nursery and Mara’s bright pink one. We also decided to reuse this dresser that we’ve had for years. I like the pairing of the wood tones and the gray walls. It definitely needs some new hardware though! I’ve been on the hunt, but have struck out at my usual places. The drawers are super thick, so standard pulls just aren’t working out. If I can’t find anything I love (and that’s affordable) we may try to re-work the holes, but I’d rather just buy something at this point. I’d rather sleep than drill knob holes in a dresser.


I found a cute little hamper at HomeGoods on a whim one day and love that it brings another pop of color and pattern to the room. Above that is just a set of hooks to hang bows and hats on. I have SO MANY bows from when Mara was a baby, so I definitely needed a place to display those for Bellamy as well. I crafted a little display for Mara’s bows, which is super cute, but it was a pain in the butt to put the bows back everyday. They usually just ended up in a pile somewhere until they drove me nuts enough to hang them back up. I figured with the hooks I can just throw them back up at the end of the day and be done with it.
Since we are keeping Mara in her crib (she’s never tried to climb out) for as long as possible, we decided to buy Belle her own crib. I wanted to keep it super simple and am obsessed with the clean lines of the crib we chose. I decided that I didn’t want another white crib, especially with the wood toned dresser, so we ordered one in a darker gray. I decided to order a wood sign, from Etsy shop Needmore Heart, with Bellamy’s full name on it, instead of a monogram, for over the bed. I really love the look of her name in a script font. I plan on ordering a few crepe paper flowers to go around her name to jazz it up a little.
