This is now what the room looks like:

I painted wide stripes on one wall to create a little depth to the space and I painted the trees on the wall for some nice contrast to the pink. The trees look black, but they are really brown. The day I took the pictures it was just really hard to get the lighting right, so sorry the trees look black.
A closer look at the crib, rocker and other side of the room. You can see half a clock, which was a clearance hobby lobby find for $5! Also, you can see the super cute and easy lamp shades I recovered.
The rug was also found on clearance at Kmart, but can’t remember the price. I think $13 or something like that.

My awesome garage sale find of a $2 shelf that I repainted. (See blog DIY: The $2 Shelf Redo)
This is the before view of our closet. I hated these closet doors! There was no bottom track, so they smash your fingers very easily and slide off their top track which is super annoying to get back on.
I also installed a closet organizer to help keep the closet looking cleaner. The hamper actually belonged to a relative of my husbands and use to be cream colored. I spray painted it green to add some more green to the room.
Well that is the final nursery! Here is the before and after:
I am happy to have it finished and really liked the way it turned out! I think at some point in the future I will need to devise some sort of book storage in the room, but I have a few years for that…and maybe might have another house at that point too. We will see….

That is absolutely gorgeous!
I Love the black trees! They make such a wonderful contrast and add a touch of whimsy. Well done, Beth!
I love it! I love that you are embracing the girliness, too. I fear I would not be as good at that. 😛 I probably would make my daughter wear all Cormac's hand-me-downs and be a complete tomboy. This is why I should not have a girl!!!! You did a lovely job with this and I cannot wait for you little girl to be born!!!!!! 😀
Great job Mama! This is so sweet! I love all the details!
Thanks! It was a fun project, but glad it is done! Now just waiting on her arrival…20 days to go!
How exciting! Praying for you both to have a smooth delivery!
Thanks! We have the c-section scheduled on the 20th, lets just hope she stays in till then!
