one piece of advice. I cant seem them in the pictures so you may already have them…but those cords on the blinds are a hazard. Get those wind up thingys for them NOW……if you wait, you will end up forgetting or just figure “eh, she doesnt touch them, she’s fine” and then have it not be fine. The nursery itself is darling….and quite honestly those handles on the dresser are more practical upside down because they look like they would be easier to use with the open part up (especially since you are so tall).
Part of the plan 🙂 she doesn’t use the nursery and probably won’t for a while.
Just be careful with those cord hanging down from the blinds when she gets older 🙂
Her nursery is gorgeous!! Absolutely love everything about it!
That picture of you holding Alexis over your head is so precious! And her headband is too cute!
I loved this post! Thank you for sharing!!
I’ve been following your blog for some time now thanks to a friend of mine who had recommended your blog to me. I just want to tell you that your pictures are so beautiful and I love reading your posts!! 🙂
Thanks so much Ashley! :))) Congrats on your pregnancy! 😛
Wow, I’m a little surprised at the comment that is focused on the cords on the blinds. You clearly have common sense and know how to keep your baby safe.
The nursery is beautiful! I love the bows your sister made. You guys did an amzing job! Also, Alexis looks adorable as she always does. 🙂
I agree with Kay.
The room looks amazing, E! It looks huge too, so good job with decorating it to utilize the most space! 🙂
Right?!? I don’t think people read the blog, they just comment. She even says:
“The blinds will get cord winders soon (if you know of good ones, please share)”
Anyway, the nursery is beautiful. Very girly and uplifting 🙂
To be completely fair to the commenter, I added that line a few hours ago after I read the comment so that people wouldn’t repeat themselves. I knooooow- the blinds need to be childproofed 🙂
I have read every post of Elenas blog. I have been with her (almost) from the beginning. I KNOW she “has common sense” She doesnt appear not to….She even posted a million years ago (when she was deciding on what kind of blinds she was going to get) about the winder things. Sometimes things slip our minds because we have 9 million other things going on when we first have babies (and continue to have going on even after the baby stage) . Elena’s baby will be crawling soon, pulling up soon…..granted, she doesnt sleep in there right now but things happen in the blink of an eye. It was just a gentle reminder because like I said earlier….things slip our minds and then it might become “meh, she’s ok…she never goes near them” and then for the 3 seconds we are in the bathroom (or blowing our noses) they decide to go near them.
What a lovely space! I really like that it’s kind of a hodge podge of different things and ideas. That makes it unique and personal.
GORGEOUS!
I love the recliner! I have one very similar to it that we bought when I was pregnant. Everyone said we needed a glider, but Mommy wanted a big soft leather recliner.
🙂
I gotta say, I went with a rocker recliner too and even though it’s a bit chunky in the room, I LOVE it. I hate how hard wooden rocking chairs are and it it just about comfort.
Absolutely beautiful nursery! And … you look fabulous!
Love the nursery, it’s very sweet! The Target rug looks perfect in there too
You look AMAZING! And Lexi is adorable, obviously.
I love the crib! What is the brand/model? Thanks!

What a nice light filled room. I’m not sure if you are intending to keep the bows on the cot, but they pose a huge potential choke hazard if you don’t take them off when your little girl starts sleeping in there.
Love it! Girly but not over the top obnoxious! Are you planning on taking the bows off the top of the crib? All I see is danger with those, but everything looks amazing!
Either that or I’ll sew them together and see how I can attach them more permanently. Definitely not leaving them like this though.
Sweet! (I didnt think you would leave them seeing as you seem to take every other precaution in keeping your baby safe but I know a few people who thought leaving the bunting flag trend stuff up was a great idea..) seriously though I love the nursery and I’m super jealous of your Craigslist dresser find:)
Thanks 🙂 Re: craigslist dresser, there are actually a ton of dressers like that constantly popping up on CL. I guess it was a style back then. All you have to do is refinish it.
It looks great! I was waiting for this post : )
We just finished our nursery and also have blinds with cords-trying to find the cord winders was a total pain! We eventually found some in Ace hardware, they’re not fantastic but do the job. I couldn’t believe how hard it was to find such a simple, essential item.
I love the room, Elena! And thank you for posting where everything is from. My favorite elements of the room are the mirror, the dresser, the owl, and the Ugly Dolls! Oh, and your own photography in the frames. I love seeing my own photos in my house but I’m terrible about having prints made… shame on me!
I absolutely love it! So many details that catch the eye 🙂
Thanks for posting this! The nursery looks AMAZING! I know I’m way late.
And thank you for featuring the dividers from my ETSY shop 🙂
Where did you get your crib sheets??
Sheets are just organic muslin but the skirt was sewn by my sis
Lovely nursery room for a lovely baby.
