Harper's Nursery Update

Currently, we are working on finishing the nursery for our little girl , Harper. This has been quite the job. The room we are coverting into the nursery has been our home office, the last 4 years. We have decided to move our home office to our finished basement. So, the basement is now Will's man cave, our new office, and Harper's soon to be playroom. It is so funny how things change when you have a little on the way. Since, in our basement, we have full wrap around bar with a built in kegorator, a 60 inch flat screen TV and tons of golf and Redskin memorbilla hanging on the walls. As you can tell, it never crossed our minds that one day we would have to make this man cave into a playroom and office.

Back to our nursery update . This room has been a work in progress. It used to be painted a dark blue to make it look like an official office. Now, after two coats of paint and primer it is the color I want the room to be for Harper. The nursery theme we are copying is from Pottery Barn Kids. The color of room is country green from Benjamin Moore. This is the exact color that pottery barn used for the room that we are recreating. 
This is where our crib is going to go.
This is where we will place the chest.
Harper's nursery bedding will be the Hailey Collection from pottery barn kids. It is going to look just like the photo below. We have purchased all the necessary items to ensure this.  Such as the full bedding set, valance, and green polka dot blackout curtains.
This is exactly what Harper's nursery is going to look like
We decided however, to not buy the baby furniture from pottery barn because it does not come assembled. After months of looking, for the right furniture, we decided on the Disney Princess Collection from Roomstogo. We have had wonderful experiences with this store and have been pleased with their furniture. So, when we realized they carried nursery furniture it was an easy decision. 


I absolutely love the furniture collection we chose. It comes with a beautiful white crib, dresser, chest, and nightstand. We also purchased a white glider that I'm sure I will use nightly to rock Harper to sleep. The furniture we purchased is featured in the photo below.

The reason, I love this collection so much is because of the girly details on the dresser and chest. The ribbons and intricate edging just made me want it for our little girl.
I love the ribbon and girly details on this dresser.
To add to the nursery decor, I went to Etsy and purchased the cutest wall decal. This decal is exactly like the bedding we purchased from pottery barn kids. Below is the decal we are using in Harper's room. It is going to go on the wall around her crib just like in the photo. 
We are placing this decal around the crib just like this photo.




Currently, we are waiting for all these items to arrive. Our furniture is being shipped the first week of December and I will be sure to update when the room is complete.
