Today is reveal day for Julia’s nursery!! I have already shared some projects that we did in Julia’s room, but today you get to see how the pink and turquoise nursery all came together.
The previous owners of our house had a boy and a girl. Each child had their own room and we love how they decorated. The boy room has a sports theme and the girl room has a lot of pink and turquoise. My husband and I decided to leave the rooms alone until we had kids.
About three year later, we found out we were having a baby girl. It was time to get the pink and turquoise room baby-ready!
The top of the walls are turquoise with sparkles and the bottom of the walls are brown. These colors are separated with a pink and turquoise flower border.
The first thing we did was remove the lofted bed from the wall. This left us with a bunch of holes and a mismatching wall color. To solve that problem, we installed ledge shelves where the lofted bed had been. They covered up the holes perfectly.
We modified Ana White’s ten dollar ledge shelf plans to make them work with the corner of the room. You can read about what we did here.
Then we decorated the shelves with some stuffed animals, toys, pictures, and the pink glitter JULIA letters we made.
The crib and changing table are part of the Hensvik series from IKEA. The crib will eventually convert to a toddler bed.
When Julia is done wearing diapers, we can easily remove the changing table piece from the cabinet. Then it can be used as a bookshelf. I love that idea because it saved us from buying a separate changing table.
We were able to put the diaper stacker straps between the edge and base of the changing table shelf to hang it. The straps were then hidden under the turquoise diaper pad. This keeps the diapers easy to reach when changing diapers.
We used organizers from IKEA to hold some of the essential baby items. We swap the items in the organizers as Julia’s needs change.
We ordered the glider chair and ottoman from Amazon because we couldn’t beat the price anywhere else. It is the Stork Craft Hoop Glider and Ottoman
The pink nightstand in the picture above is from Hobby Lobby. It caught my eye when I was walking around looking for supplies for another project. I love the bright pink color because it brings out the pink in the flower room border.
Julia’s dirty clothes go into her monkey hamper. She loves to play with it while we are doing laundry.
There are two sets of plastic drawers in the closet that we use to store Julia’s clothes. We also hang some shirts and dresses, but we need the drawers because there isn’t enough hanging space for all of her clothes.
I shared more details about how we organize Julia’s clothes here. Don’t forget to print out the free labels on that page if you want them!
