Closet Nursery Transformation

Our 102 year old house has two closets in the master//owner’s suite. One for the lady of the house complete with a sit-down-built-in-vanity-do-your-make-up and one for the gentleman to hang his suits. You can guess how often I sit to do my makeup at any vanity.

It occurred to me that this dressing room wasn’t well suited even if I was able to fit all my clothing in there. And it occurred to me that although we co-sleep for a long time, this baby girl was going to need somewhere to be stashed for naps once she’s at that 6 month marker and needs more than sleeping in the sling. So I pinched my husband and dad into demo’ing it. And then a friend helped sheet rock & fit it with baseboards and the like. Then we had carpeting put in. Then this same handy friend made shelves after I had Shea and my sister Katie over to give me design input, and facetimed a million times with my mom & Molly in New York.

Tah-dah. I give you: a new fav room in the house! The kids love to destroy it on a daily basis–I mean, help me make it cosy for her.

Yes, it looks like a dorm room. I think there’s a fine line between nursery decor & dorm room these days.

Wall quilt // me gone wild. I love these fabrics so much and wanted something to warm up this little 5×10 room but that I wouldn’t knock off the wall. When she graduates to her sister’s room at some point, it’s big enough for a bed quilt! Cotton & Steel fabric here.

Outside of our closet nursery, back in our room, a little diaper changing station with my fav Kouboo baskets, again!

And how messy my nightstand really is . . .

That’s all, friends! I cannot wait to hold her in my arms and rock her in there!
