We are so excited to finally share pictures of our baby girl’s nursery! As my last post explained, she was born about a month early and we were SO not prepared for that to happen. Both Ronan and I tend to be overly optimistic about most things, which sounds sweet, but can lead to real trouble when situations like this arise. Although we didn’t have a finished nursery to come home to, what we did have was a general plan and a couple of Pinterest photos for inspiration.

We knew that we wanted to use this opportunity to flex our creative design muscles a little bit. We love, love, love neutrals and try not to lean too much into trends, but this nursery just seemed like a good place to break our own rules. We knew that it was a room that would probably change and evolve faster than the other rooms in our house, since the baby living in it would also be changing and growing quickly (too quickly!!). We also already had a lot of white nursery furniture from when our son was a baby and since we are cheap frugal green, we were sure we wanted to reuse that furniture. Instead of using our usual white paint and putting the white furniture in front of it, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try out a dark wall color.
