Welcome to Hadley's room!
It was so fun putting this room together. My husband painted every wall, refinished the floors, hung the new fan, and painted the ceiling. We do not have a theme for the room, it's just colorful and fun!
When we were first thinking of ideas, I had the hardest time coming up with a theme. I hated every single butterfly, princess, flower I came across. I did not want the entire room to be themed where only a particular butterfly would match the decor. I wanted anything to fit and flow with the room. So we went with a light gray paint for the walls, the actual color is called silver marlin by
Behr. It was light enough to see it was a color, but nothing too drastic. The goal for the room is for the room to grow with Hadley.
The crib we went with is by
Babyletto and we are so in love with it. I love the dark espresso trim along with the white spindles. Plus it only took my husband 15 minutes to put it together! Score!
The dresser is from Craigslist. I was so happy with this buy, it originally was plain wood and we, well I should say my husband painted it white and left the doors in the middle open to use for baskets for the diapers. We are using the dresser as a changing table so the dresser can grow with her. Eventually the changing pad will no longer be at the top of the dresser (obviously), it'll be a place for her to put her toys, things, etc.
This crate we are using to keep all of her books in for right now. Keeping it right outside of the
reading nook to make the books easily accessible for the kids.
Natalie drew her little sister her very first piece of artwork and hung it on the wall in her room. I love it! I had her use washi tape so her and Brady can draw more pictures as they want to and swap them out.
The purple and yellow frame is one of my favorite's in her room, and the print of the little girl is from
this etsy shop. The follow your heart frame I bought at Hobby Lobby.
The letter "H" is another favorite of mine in her room! I shared how I made it on the blog this week. You can read more about it
here.
For the little dog canvas, I mixed a few different blues together to make a turquoise type color and painted it on a plain white canvas. The dog is supposed to be our Georgie poo. All I did was cut out an image of a rottweiler with scrapbook paper and then used modge podge to adhere it onto the canvas.
The little Hadley doll on the end table is from a co-worker of mine! I just love this doll! If you look closely it has her name monogrammed on her little dress....so cute!
You will notice in some of the pictures, a hairdryer on the nightstand next to the rocker. This child loves hair dryers, she will relax, calm down, and fall asleep to the loud sound of a hair dyer. So we have Natalie's laying right next to the rocker when we need to put her to sleep, it's within arms reach for sure.
The rocker was re-finished by my husband and the cushion was reupholstered by my Mom. The wood was a light oak type finish, and Kevin painted it white. The cushion was plain beige and I knew I wanted it yellow as a pop of color in the room. My Mom did an awesome job picking out the fabric and color. The grey pouf is from
Target. The black/white, and purple placemats on the nightstand were sewn my yours truly!
For right now, we have her little toys she's accumulated in a little grey and white bin. Natalie can't wait until she's big enough to start playing with them all!
Her hamper is huge I know, but I wanted everything to be able to grow with her in the room. Now her closet? That's another issue...which needs some organization big time.
The curtains/sheers (whatever they are called) are from TJMaxx. I love how they look against the grey walls. The little clothes pin with "Baby Merz" on it is from her Aunt Amy and I use it to hold them together some days.
The frames above her dresser is another favorite of mine. Each print is from an Etsy shop that I will link to at the bottom of this post. I already had all of the frames on hand, just printed each one out and stuck them in there. My favorite is the middle one that says "h is for hadley".
The rug is also from...take a guess....
Target! We wanted a black/white rug that had a pattern/design on it but had the hardest time finding one that was decently priced. All 4x6 sizes with patterns on them were crazy expensive so we liked this amour one and went with it.
And this is Miss Hadley's room!
Our little lady will love, sleep, play, and grow here. I can't wait!!!
