Bailey's Room Reveal

We are finally completely finished with Bailey's room. It took us forever to decide on the colors and actually come to an agreement. I have to say, I'm very happy with how it turned out. I never thought I would do this much pink but I really love it! I think that the gray off sets it and tones it down some. Although I pretty much picked out the color schemes and put the patterns and material together, Andy did a TON of work in there. He did all of the painting (regardless of being pregnant, I hate to paint!), crown molding, hanging pictures and even created our gutter bookshelves. I really think that she is going to have the best room in the house.

I got a lot of items on Etsy and ideas for my sewing projects from various blogs. I will include the links at the bottom of the page.

Before pictures.....


As you can see we had various colors picked out. It was exhausting.




Coby has been so confused during the entire process.

Andy starting to paint...

First picture of the room painted.


Andy putting the crib together.



After lots of trips to JoAnn's Fabric and shopping on Etsy here is Miss Bailey's room!!!





The name decal is from Etsy. If you have textured walls like we do, it's a real pain to put on but we made it work. The little butterfly at the end of her name is just card stock that I cut out. I used sticky tack to adhere it to the wall and bent the wings a bit.


The Butterfly mobile was the first thing I wanted for her room. I ordered it on Etsy.



I made her changing pad cover and its super easy. Its much cheaper than buying one in the store and you can pick whatever colors and patterns you want!



Here is the main wall. This is the pink we went back and forth on forever. The crib is from Babie's R Us.


I ordered the bumper and crib sheet online but made the crib skirt. Its very basic but I made it so that you can adjust it when you lower the bed when she gets older. I couldnt find a set that I really loved and this cost less than half the price of any crib set. My co-worker made the cute blanket that is hanging on the crib.


The 3 pictures above her wall was inspiration from a Pottery Barn add. I'm going to put a maternity photo on the left side and a new born picture of Bailey on the right side.


Again here are the 3-D wall butterflies. You can order these on Etsy but its just as easy and much cheaper to make them youself. You could use all sorts of different colored card stock.


Here is a blanket that I made using a great tutorial on a blog that I found. It was so easy I couldn't believe it. I wanted a quilt but didnt want to pay the price for one! This cost about $15 to make.

A perfect find at Hobby Lobby.

I found this rug on Overstock.com. I looked for awhile before I finally decided on this one.


So the chair was a bit of a splurge. It rocks and swivels and its just the most comfortable chair ever! I figured I would be sitting in this a lot so it's worth it :) I bought the green pillow at TJ Maxx and made the chevron pillow using a quick youtube video on making an envelope pillow case. This way I can wash it if Bailey throws up on it or something. Also, instead of buying the matching ottoman that cost as much as the chair does, I bought a cheap black ottoman at Target. I just made a quick slip cover using material that matched as close as possible.


I just took a plain lamp and glued a ribbon and a flower to it.


Here are the gutter bookshelves that Andy put together. I saw this on pintrest and knew I had to have them. They were about $25 to put together. Andy cut them and puttied the corners, sanded them and then painted them. He gets all the credit for these awesome shelves!


Here is a side view of the shelves. You can really see how deep the pockets are. You can use brackets to mount them to the walls but we just drilled them right on there instead.


I found these canvas's at Ashley Furniture for $5 each but didnt like the canvas. I just hot glued my favorite scrap book paper to the front.


I had to get a shot of her closet. I'm in big trouble!

 A few of my favs...

This picture is actually from our ultra sound when we found out we were having a girl. I just forgot to upload it. Her hand is up by her head which means she is already being dramatic.



So that's pretty much it! Here are the links to some of the blogs and tutorials that I used:
