Kennedy's Nursery

Many people have asked to see pics of Kennedy's nursery, so here goes. Decorating Kennedy's nursery was somewhat cathartic for me while Mike was gone. I would get started on one project which would lead to another and another. When it was Jackson's room it was Pottery Barn Dr. Seuss. I tried to keep a lot of the red that was already in the room and just add the black and white to it. I am very happy with the results. Let me know what you think.

This is the inspiration for the entire nursery. While I was staying with Mom & Dad, I took my first quilting class in May and made this! I like using the red and black, but with a bunch of different fabrics!

These bumpers were a beast. I sewed them from a pattern which was designed to fit a crib that is open on all sides. Of course, I didn't discover that until I was completely finished. I ended up having to shorten 4 of the 6 panels to get it to fit correctly, but I love the cute little flowers! 

This diaper stacker pattern came from this blog which is where a lot of my ideas came from. The flower hook from Hobby Lobby matched perfectly!

I purchased red gingham curtains to match the bed skirt that we already had. I would have attempted curtains, but around here you need blackout curtains for the summer and it was actually cheaper just to buy them. The curtain tie back came from the same pattern as the bumper pads. 

This little bag has all of Kennedy's headbands in it!

Boppy Pillow cover from pattern.

Another blog idea that was originally for a wipes container, but I thought it would work for a wipes warmer too!

Carseat Canopy which was another blog idea. I opted not to put in the peek a boo window. 

This just shows you the contrasting fabric underneath the canopy as well as the new strap covers I made to match. 

I made a matching diaper/wipes bag from a pattern book I have.

Here I covered the back of the shelves with a horizontal red, black, and white striped fabric and recovered the lamp shade with embellishments. Obviously I need to get pictures for the frames, but that will have to wait until after Kennedy's arrival. The diaper cake was from my baby shower and the tote on the bottom has all of Kennedy's 'baby friendly' toys; I decided to separate them out from Jackson's toys!

This just shows the growth chart, also from a blog. I made one just like it for Jackson's room too.

I have a feeling this Bow Hanger will fill up fast. I just put this together based on ideas I'd seen on etsy.

These beautiful letters were painted by my cousin's wife, Shenee. She is so talented and they turned out so much better than I'd imagined. She matched each alternating letter to the crib/quilt fabric perfectly! Originally I wanted the letters to hang over the crib, but they were too big since she has such a long name. I needed to fill up this blank wall anyway, so I hung them here and put the wall decal chandelier above the crib.

This is Kennedy's dresser/changing table. The Changing pad cover was a gift from my sister-in-law, Laura, but she makes and sells them on her online store if you want one for yourself!

This is just a covered cork board bulletin board inside a fun frame.

This is the canopy above Kennedy's crib. She also has a wall decal chandelier hanging from the center of the canopy. I would say she is a little princess - wouldn't you?!

That is all! I hope she likes red & black! For now she is still in the cradle in our room, but it won't be long and we'll move her over to her very own room.
