the nursery reveal

i have to say i'm quite happy with the way olivia's nursery came out. i'm super happy with the color scheme, which was chosen back in november when my mom and i picked out fabric for the quilt i'm working on for olivia. (no, i haven't finished it, but it will be tackled this week if she doesn't come! the top and back are done, i'm just not looking forward to pinning together the "sandwich.")

i think the nursery is definitely for a girl without being GIRLY. there's touches of pink of course, but they are balanced by the neutrals and sage green. and i like that everything came together from a pretty eclectic background - mixes of new (the crib, the curtains, and the chair we got as a GREAT store closing deal), consignment store (the dresser which our friend zach refinished, the lamp, the book shelf, and the small table by the chair), homemade (the bedskirt and pillow made by my mom, the birds painted on the wall by me, the bird painting by me, and the paper mobile made by me), and vintage (the quilt squares above the crib which were originally in a quilt top that was started but never finished by my grandma's neighbor back in the day).

i really should have taken some before and after pics because the nursery was a hot mess back around christmas. oh well. without further ado...

of course there's stuff that will change or be added (i have other ideas that have yet to come to fruition), but as of right now i like that it has enough without being too crazy. if olivia is anything like me she'll have 8 bazillion collections in a few years anyway. i hope she likes her room!
