The Nursery

Brooks' room was all ready for him. I loved his room. The blue walls made it so peaceful in there. While I was waiting for him to arrive, I'd often find myself hanging out in there. If you'll remember, we didn't find out Macy B's gender before she was born. So I ended up leaving my son's nursery all set up until after we brought our baby girl home. Regardless of her gender, I knew I wanted to keep those peaceful, blue walls! We added in some pink (okay, a lot of pink!) and it turned out sweet and girlie:)

Macy Brooks wants to show you her room! This picture was taken in January, which is why she looks so little:)


This is the view from the door... Her room is on the back of the house, which I really like.

This piece of furniture is the Madison Changing Table System from Potterybarn. When we were pregnant with our first baby in 2006, I found this and fell in love. After losing that baby, I continued to save all my cash from my nanny job to buy this furniture. By the time I was about to deliver that sweet boy in 2008 I had plenty of cash stashed away in an ING account just waiting for a babe! I pulled it right out and am so happy with the purchase. It's great for a nursery and will be great in a playroom down the road.

This is on the same wall as her closet. I found this shelf at Hobby Lobby to hold some of her nick nacks and precious gifts. The pink and green Macy Brooks canvas is from Shannon. She had a friend of hers make it. (Shannon, will you leave a comment with her info?) I love it! Over the 2nd "o" in Brooks is a small halo to represent her brother in Heaven, so thoughtful!

My MIL, Viv, gave Macy Brooks the beautiful sterling silver cup with her initials on it. She can teethe on it and leave her little tooth impressions!

The card holder also came from Hobby Lobby and it's been perfect for holding her friends' birth announcements and party invitations.

Any guesses on where I bought the pink hooks? That's right, Hobby Lobby (I love that place!) For now, its displaying a few of her sweet outfits! Later, we might hang play jewelry or something fun!

It's not pictured, but under the pink hooks is a large basket that houses all of MB's blankets.

We of course had to go with the hot pink curtains:)

I picked out the Penelope bedding from PBK shortly before MB's 20 week ultrasound. I had the sonographer send a "money shot" to my friend, Jen in California. I sent her money to either purchase the bedding if it was a girl or hold on to if it was a boy and not needed. She did a great job of keeping such a fun secret! She purchased the bedding and shipped it to me the day she was born. It was great having the bedding arrive just a couple days after being home from the hospital!

I skipped out on the bumper, but splurged on the quilt and it's hanging above her bed. Her crib is from Babies R Us and it will make a big girl bed in the all too near future :( She's growing so fast!


Here's a collage of some fun items. The first picture is the blanket basket, then 3 clear jars holding: leggings, pacis and q-tips. The last picture is her nightstand containing books and a lamp from, you guessed it, Hobby Lobby. Finally is our rocking chair.


On top of her changing table system sits one of my favorite gifts from my friend Michelle. She hand painted these 3 bird paintings to match her bedding. Aren't they cute? It's so thoughtful how people have incorporated her brother....look at the green piece in the center. That bird on the top looking down, represents Brooks watching over us! Love it!

And of course, here is sweet Sierra guarding the door. She sits perched here whenever we are in the nursery. She's the sweetest!
