Tickled Pink to Put Together a Nursery!

At 15 weeks, we learned that we are having ourselves a little princess.  I already had a feeling it was.  I was mostly shopping for girl stuff already.  I just had my 20 week anatomy scan yesterday, and they confirmed that it is still a little girl.  That means I can start buying things to put this nursery together.

You can check out my "For Baby Smith" Pinterest board, but below are a few of the nursery rooms that I've used as inspiration.

I love, love, love the fancy look of Damask, but it just really hasn't had a place in our house.  It was almost a no-brainer when I found out it's a girl, because black and white damask paired with baby pink and white is fit for a princess!  So I'm building my princess a palace!

I love how they paired the damask with polka dots.  Also one of my favorites that just doesn't fit anywhere else in our home.  However, this particular set gets pretty pricey.



  I loves the stripes on the wall, and the black crib with soft pink and white bedding.


I can't find where this one came from.


I found this lovely set online at Babies R Us as well as Target.  It's got that awesome black and white damask pattern with a soft pink, and even some polka dots.  But I don't care for the chunky black and white floral print, or the big flowers.  And the blankets are just too plain for a palace.  This is when I opted to make my own.

So this is what I've come up with:

Pink silk floor-to-ceiling curtains
Pink silk dust ruffle
pink cotton fitted sheet
black furniture
Damask print for accent on pillows and as a border on the blanket.

I went to JoAnn and got some fabric samples last weekend, so this weekend, I will be doing plenty of sewing!  I'm "sew" excited! Ha!
