Red & Aqua Nursery {Guest Post by Five Days...5 Ways!}


Today Abbie from Five Days...5 Ways and I have swapped blogs to share our daughter's nurseries. My daughter's aqua, pink & orange nursery will be on her site today and her red & aqua nursery is here. Fun, huh?! Check out her adorable DIY nursery!
_________

Hi there, 52 Mantels readers! I’m just tickled pink that Emily is letting my stop by and say howdy (yes, I am a fellow Texan) to all y’all wonderful folks!

Okay, so I don’t actually talk quite that Texan (although I do dearly love my “y’alls”). But, since I do live in Texas, I feel a little bit of pressure to live up to that whole “everything is bigger” business we’re known for.

Which is, apparently, why I decided to crank out a set of identical twin girls in September of 2012 to go with my two boys and a girl (ages 6 1/2, 5, and 2) that I already had.

{If you want to read their home birth story, you can here; I promise it’s light on the blood and guts}

Here we all are looking entirely too photogenic and happy for the mayhem I’m sure had taken place only moments before this shot was taken (see my left hand there? I look like I’m trying to throw gang signs, but I’m guessing it’s actually on the downswing from a child’s wardrobe adjustment and/or ear-pinch). You can see more of our family photo shoots here and here if that sort of thing interests you.

Umm…what else? Well, I blog about a little bit of everything at Five days…5 ways.
Each day even has a theme: Move-it Monday: Fitness and projects, Try-it Tuesday: Tutorials, Wardrobe Wednesday: Fashion, 5 Things Thursday: 5 random tidbits, and Feature Friday: where I feature YOU at our weekly linky party of creativity!

Speaking of creativity, very little gets my juices flowing like a blank slate of a room…like this one.

3 years ago, my husband built our house from scratch with his own two bare, extremely talented hands (and no, he’s not a professional contractor), so practically every room in our house looked like this. But, this particular space was designated for our now-2-year-old daughter Adelaide (whom we affectionately call, “Della” or, “Ladybug”).

And after much sweat, many hot-glue burns, and a whole heap of DIY projects, it ended up looking like this:

IMG_2938-2_thumb[2]

I went with a red/aqua color scheme and spray-painted practically everything in sight to achieve it—including, but not limited to….

IMG_2686-2_thumb[2]

…her chandelier

IMG_2635-1[10]

her lamp and dresser knobs…

IMG_2934_thumb[5]

…and her initial plaques.
I also made her bedding and curtains from Alexander Henry’s gorgeous Starling fabric (in natural).

A few other DIY endeavors included her framed butterfly art:

IMG_2685-1[5]

…her butterfly mobile:

IMG_2643-2_thumb[3]

and that cute little ottoman:

IMG_2639-4_thumb[2]

…which sits at the foot of, by far, my favorite element of the entire room:

IMG_2639-3[6]

And that would be the swivel rocker I scored on Craigslist for $25 and then had recovered (I was going to give it a shot, but piping scares me!).

If you’d like to see even more details and pictures of Della’s nursery, you can pop on over to the blog and take a gander, but as much as I’d love to, I could not invite you over to see it in person…

And that is because it no longer exists. In fact, writing this post has been a bit of a jaunt down memory lane, since we added onto our house in the spring of 2012 and converted Della’s room into a hallway.
Most of her big girl room is already in place (man, do those finishing touches trip me up!), and the design board for it looks a little something like this:

Della's room-001[6]
Similar color scheme, with a little bit more sophistication for this oh-so-grown-up two-year-old:

IMG_6469_thumb[3]

{The truth? she’s still sleeping in the twins’ crib while they snooze away in their cozy little bassinets at night}.

Speaking of the twins, if you’re itching to see what their nursery looks like, here’s a sneak peak:

IMG_9255_thumb[4]

I’ll be doing the full reveal this upcoming Monday, so be sure to check back then.

Until then, please stop on by and toodle around for a while. I suggest starting with the “Our House” page for more room reveals and maybe even taking a second to enter our $50 Target Gift Card Giveaway that ends tonight!

Can’t wait to meet you all (er…I mean, y’all!)

Thanks again, Emily, for the chance to stop by! It’s such a huge treat to get to be blogger-friends with such a talented girl as yourself! : )
