Carter's Nursery....

When a woman has a baby, she also gets a chance to try out her decorating SKILLS. Nurseries are a BIG deal for first time moms..... not only is it a celebration of a NEW life, but a chance to make a space to accommodate the little one!

A fellow blogger named Jenny recently welcomed her baby boy Carter in July & put together a gorgeous baby retreat!

I'm flattered that she even included my Blu Raspberry Love candy print as part of the nursery scheme! Jenny was also put together a wall of books inspired by Elizabeth Sullivan who did this really cool one for a client, which I posted about here.

You can see the slight similarity, except, Jenny's is done on a much smaller scale than Elizabeth's design. Some of my favorite part of this room are the cute little elephant curtains & of course the book shelf !!

Hope this post will serve as inspiration to you ladies about to have a baby & looking to decorate a nursery!

She did such a great job- I really like the use of the drapes to hide the shelving units.

Ok so I love some things about this space...and not so much others. I love the abacus and the bookshelves, love the cluster of art work. I don't like the combo of crib sheets and curtains... your print looks nice all on its own. xoxo

Looks amazing, Jenny! Glad you liked the bookshelves - they look great on any scale.
