I still remember getting the face time call from Ash and Mike when they announced to me that they were expecting! What a rush of emotions! From what will they have, what will they name her and how will it feel to be an aunt, I was so excited and nervous at the same time. Then Ash asked me the most flattering question of all "will you help me decorate her nursery?" I felt so honored to have the biggest and most special project put in my hands. I had to make this room perfect for this little person I had yet to meet. Ash and I started talking and planning to make sure everything was perfect! I am sharing with you today the finished product as well as some precious pictures of Irie Anne. Hope you enjoy!
It all started with a scheme for the color palette. We knew we wanted it to be girly, but also wanted to mix in some unexpected colors. I designed this plan and got to work on finding pieces to make Irie's nursery come together.
We found the crib at Layla Grace, the bed linens at Serena and Lily, and the original art work is by Lulie Wallace and Catherine Jones (@catherinebjones on Instagram). Catherine is a wonderful family friend and so talented!
The rug was found on Ones King Lane and the blanket is a gift from family.
Framed prints were purchased from Etsy and we thought these quotes said it all! My favorite is "And though she be but little she is fierce." If she turns out like Ash, she might be tiny but always feisty! As we all know, the best things come in small packages.
The changing table was purchase from Etsy and painted the custom grey color. The mirror was found on One Kings Lane and the sconces purchased from Ro Sham Beaux.
We couldn't be happier with the glider purchased from Serena and Lily. So comfy! The artwork features angels and is from an artist in Mobile, Al (a gift from one of her special grandmothers).
I think Irie Anne likes her new nursery! This a picture taken a week after her arrival. Now can you see why she has all of us wrapped around her teeny finger?
I got to visit my precious niece last week and fell in love! Aunt Coco can't wait to spoil her rotten and teach her all the ways of the world.
One of my favorites of Ash, Mike and Irie. This captures all of the feelings of welcoming her to this world! Irie Anne, you are one special girl and know you are loved more than the whole wide world! Thank you for letting me decorate your nursery and making me one proud aunt. I will love you always!
XO,
