I apologize ahead of time if this post takes a minute to upload.?? I am posting 12 nursery pictures and I don’t usually post that many at a time.??<\/p>\n

So here is Tori’s nursery….taaaadaaaaaa…..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These pictures were difficult to take because Tori’s room is pretty tiny and I had to use my wide angle lens (a lens I happen to hate).?? I’ll provide a little running commentary as I post pictures.?? The nursery design was done by mommy!?? I got online and found the fabrics I wanted and then used photoshop to “draw” it all out.?? I pieced the comforter together in picture squares and even made a template of how the walls were to be painted.?? My Mother in Love did an AWESOME job working out my design.?? I am so proud of her!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The topiary in the corner of the room was hand crafted for Tori by Aunt Jodi.?? This topiary inspired me when creating her mobile.???? I first wanted to hang polka dots.?? Then I wanted to use nursery fabric to make patchwork hanging balls.?? After I saw the topiary though, I knew that would be the perfect idea for the mobile.?? I actually made 2 fan pulls this way as well as you may notice in a few of these pictures.?? Tori loves to look at all those pretty ribbons!?? She isn’t actually sleeping in her room yet but I have laid her in the crib for a moment to just enjoy it LOL!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is a better view of the comforter.?? My MIL’s friend, Mrs. Quijada helped with a lot of the sewing (THANK YOU Mrs. Quijada).?? Sewn??by my MIL:?? Bumper Pads, Diaper Changing Cover, Pillows, Comforter, Crib Skirt, and Curtains.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

??<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the moment you can’t see the crib skirt super well because the crib mattress is high.?? When Tori gets a bit bigger and we lower the mattress, the crib skirt will touch the floor and get more attention.??<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am SO in love with the curtains!!!?? Aren’t they GORGEOUS??? You can just barely see the fan pulls in the upper left of this picture too.?? :)?? I spray painted the rocker white and the blanket draped on it is another blanket made for Tori by her Grandma.?? I also hung pictures of Tori with ribbon though you can’t see the picture that is hanging due to the reflection (which is actually good because it is a really cute picture that I haven’t posted yet).?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you know it is actually quite difficult to decide on a polka dot pattern especially if you are mixing sizes and colors??? We were pretty stumped about this and I had about 8 different patterns created.?? We narrowed down to this one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That door is to Tori’s walk in closet and you’ll notice my favorite picture of Tori to date hanging on the wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Several things to note here:?? The changing table is really cool.?? I bought it from a store in Scottsdale before Tanner was born.?? The table comes out so that you can change baby facing you instead of side ways which I prefer.?? It converts to a book shelf when you no longer need it.?? The diaper pad was made to be reversible as were the bumper pads so I can turn them over and add more pink to the room if I want.?? I decorated the baby wipe box with ribbon from the room and painted that bucket pink and added ribbon and bow embellishment.?? On the left is her bow board that I made so that her pretty little bows won’t get crushed.?? On the shelf is:?? several hats stuffed with crepe paper, a malted strawberry\/chocolate malt ball filled vase (polka dot arrangement), flowers from church on the right, flower arrangement made by my MIL in the left corner, the “Tori” name board that Aunt Jodi made, and a pretty pink polka bag from my friend Stephanie (her mom made it).?? It’s too pretty to use right now:).?? Those dang polka dots keep disappearing though because Papa and Daddy have no respect for my candy arrangement!?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A closer view of a few things on the shelf and the fan that you didn’t get to see in the other pictures.<\/p>\n

Soooooo….what do you think??? I love this room so much it makes me want to cry just to look at it!!!!!?? I looked at a lot of pink\/brown polka rooms online and just couldn’t find anything that was “me”.?? When this room was done, I knew we had captured exactly what we hoped for and I am so so so happy with it!?? Turned out better than I dreamed it would!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
