Addison

I had so much fun decorating a pretty pink baby room for Addison. It took a lot of work but I love everything about my sweet baby girl's room. When I found out that I was having a girl I confess that I went just a little bit crazy for pink.

The painted the nursery walls in wide tone on tone pale pink stripes. For decorations I painted wooden wall letters spelling out her name (Addison) and arranged them on the walls using satin ribbon tied in bows.

I got awesome deals on all of my nursery furniture on craigslist. I bought a changing table and dresser that I refinished in white and then added vintage glass handles alternating the drawer pulls in clear and pink glass. The vintage furniture hardware was my big spending splurge out of everything I bought to decorate the pink baby room.

A white Jenny Lind crib adds to the vintage look in the room. Rather than buying a nursery rocking chair I bought an upholstered white chaise lounge that gives me a cozy place to lie down.

To add another layer to the color scheme of Addison's pink baby room, my mom made some beautiful pink and sage green stripe curtains with a white balloon shade underneath. The baby's bedding set is made from pink, green, yellow and red damask fabric. It is understated but colorful bringing even more color into the room.

I hung a crib mobile decorated with felt pink and green birds above the baby's bed. I topped off the rest of the decorations that I had gathered for my sweet baby girl's pink baby room with hand painted pictures of birds in pink, green, and yellow and some homemade dolls that my grandmother made me when I was little arranged on wall shelves. And last but not least I made a sweet bow holder out of ribbon to hold Addison's barrettes and hair bows.
