When we originally designed our nursery for our first baby, our daughter, I knew I wanted it to be a room that would transition well between siblings. We chose to paint the walls gray owl, cut to 50 % instead of a pink (knowing her big girl room would eventually be very pink), and went with lots of white to create a calm, serene, feel.
Fast forward three years later, and I knew I wanted to make a few small changes to make the room feel new for this baby, but overall still wanted to maintain the feel of cool, calm and classic baby boy. A couple of the small changes that we made were painting the hardware blue on the dresser, and nightstand, as well as painting the floor lamp blue.
I shared my vision with an interior design friend, and she helped create the beautiful painting above his crib. We swapped out, and added a few books, and some fresh new boy bedding and pillows, and called it a day. Once he is here we will add a few more details to his room, frame his coming home outfit, and swap out some pictures in frames.
Just like with our daughter, the hours spent in this room folding tiny baby clothes, organizing diaper drawers and dressing his crib have helped not only prepare space for him within our home, but also within my heart. Hours poured praying over his body, and his health. His entrance into the world and into our family. Dreaming of the days of rocking his sweet soul, in the same chair that I learned how to be a mommy to his big sister in.
This room holds such a special place within my heart, and our home. I'm so grateful to share it with you today. A huge thank you to my precious friend Jennifer Maskell who came over and graciously captured all of these fleeting moments for us. We were so gifted by her talents, please consider her for your next maternity, lifestyle or family photo session.
