Baby #2 will be here in about nine weeks and while I have no desire to redo the nursery, we have been moving things around and changing the decor so that Harper doesn’t get everything second hand (since the majority of her clothes, shoes, toys, etc. are originally Elliott’s). While I’m sure she’ll one day spend hours in therapy covering her issues with second hand stuff, for now we’re starting her off with a somewhat-new nursery.
Actually, the only thing that is left over from Elliott’s days in the nursery is the changing table since my first born demolished the crib and I don’t think it would be safe to put another child in it. Also, we aren’t repainting because, while I used to love painting rooms, now it just seems like too much work. We added a rocker which Elliott never had and we bought a set of drawers from IKEA to put next to it.
I had a lamp, but bought a new lampshade and did a quick hot glue gun project with some pink ribbon to add a little more color to the whiteness. While I’m not a big fan of an all-pink room for girls, I don’t want it to be too unisex that it’s not girly. I also had a vintage mirror sitting in the basement that I stole from my mom that went about the rocker. Here’s how it turned out…
