A Tropical Lilly Pulitzer Inspired Nursery

The nursery took far longer to finish than anticipated. We made a big dent in it in January and then the work came to a halt. My husband had to have surgery that didn’t go to plan and resulted a very long recovery. He’s good now and ready for baby. Luckily, I got some help from friends and family to speed things along so the nursery could be completed before baby girl’s arrival. A huge thank you to everyone who helped!!

I’ve had so much fun putting together a girly nursery for the newest member of the family. The room that we converted into the nursery was set up as an office with built in bookshelves and a printer station. That eliminated the need to buy furniture other than a crib, side table, and glider.

We added some doors to cover up the bookshelves for safety purposes once the baby starts pulling up, plus we gained additional covered storage.

I knew I wanted to keep the walls fairly simple so it would be easier to change if we have a second child that’s a boy. We painted the walls Charming Pink by Sherwin Williams and added some framing to the wall the crib is on for visual interest and frame out her name sign on the wall.

I love Lilly Pulitzer’s fun, bright tropical prints so I added little Lilly touches here and there. I framed fabric above the diaper changing station and found matching curtain tie backs and a matching pillow for the glider. I kept with the tropical theme of the Lilly print and added in a flamingo rocker and elephant hamper basket. I also changed out the light for a girly chandelier, added additional overhead can lighting, and a plush custom rug from Stanton Carpets that my husband purchased from his flooring store.

We’re all ready for baby and patiently waiting for her arrival!
