Elena's Nursery


Now that the big day is getting closer we finally got Elena's room finished up! Well first we had to make sure the big brother-to-be's room was all set up first, then the Holidays came and I still need to pick out her bedding. I was planning to make it myself but realized being pregnant and having a two-year old it was not going to happen. So I fell in love with this cute pink and brown elephant bedding.

Then the came the time to pick out the paint. That is probably the worst part. There are so many shades for brown. *pause, having a contraction* So we finally picked one out and once I started painting it on the wall I was so worried that it was going to be way to pink but by the time we finished we were very happy with the color. It makes the room feel very warm.

Since I was not able to make the bedding myself I added a few personal touches to her room. I painted the picture above the dresser which took about two weeks. I had to repaint it because the original color was more peach then pink so I had to fix it. Then I also painted the letters for her name above the bed. It was all made to match the bedding!
