Welcome to our pink nursery made for a princess! Our baby girl's nursery is a dream come true filled with frilly, feminine fabrics, colors and decorations right out of a fairytale. Everything is pink and white with just a touch of sparkle and silver to give the room a royal atmosphere.

PAINTING IDEAS
The first thing we did after we learned that we were having a baby girl was to paint the entire wall in our guest room a soft shade of pink.

After we were satisfied that the wall paint color was exactly what we wanted, we painted the lower third of the wall white and lightly sponge painted pink over the white paint to make it more interesting and give it depth. After the paint was cured we hung a pre-pasted wallpaper border to join the two colors. The princess castle wall decal over the baby's dresser sends a clear message that this is a pink nursery made for a princess!

PRINCESS THEME NURSERY BEDDING
We chose satin for our baby girl's crib set. The nursery furniture is stained a dark color and the sumptious fabrics look amazing against the wood. The "crowning" touch is the gauzy, white canopy that drapes from the ceiling and over the head and foot of the crib. The nursery pictures don't begin to show how luxurious look of the place where our baby girl sleeps.

WINDOW TREATMENTS
Solid pink curtains would have been too much with the upper part of the solid pink nursery walls. But the pink and white striped fabric of the full length curtain panels tie the room together perfectly. I love how I can use the tiebacks to take advantage of the natural light whenever I want.


MY FAVORITE FEATURE
The entire princess baby nursery theme is delightful so it would be very difficult to choose the best nursery decorating ideas or area of the roomthat I like the most. But if I had to pick, I suppose it would be the cozy corner where the nursery glider is. This is where I will spend the most time reading and sharing stories about storybook princesses with my baby girl.


I'm sure that I left out many details of how we decorated our white and pink nursery. But if there's something that you need to know, you are welcome to leave a note with your question (and I hope) and a vote for our entry in the nursery pictures contest will be appreciated!
