Abigail's Nursery

With the design inspiration and help of my dear friend, Amy Busti, together we created Abigail's outdoor inspired nursery. Drew and my wonderful mother-in-law were also very helpful as well!

Here are a few pictures:



A cozy corner for all of our times spent cuddling and nursing! The dresser is a special piece that my Grammie gave me - it was my dad's dresser as a boy and then my dear Gramps had it in his room. I have so many wonderful memories of Gramps letting us kids get into his "treasure chest" that sat on this dresser and get whatever money was in it!





Since we live in a log cabin, with wooden walls, we wanted the outdoors to naturally be apart of Abigail's room. Drew found this pecan branch to hang as a mobile over her crib. She's bound to love animals and nature with falling asleep to this every night!



I made these birds from a pattern that Amy found online and just LOVE them!






This bike was a special treasure in my "little Italy" kitchen in the apartment that I lived in while Drew was in the game warden academy. Some pink spray paint made it so girly and pretty!



My mother-in-law slaved over stripping and painting this $10 garage sale bookshelf into the unique piece that it is now! Amy helped me choose the fabric and make the curtains. Her sweet mother, Pam, helped sew the bed skirt!



My mother gave me the gingham lamp and Kay Ohendalski quilted the beautiful blanket on the rocker. This nursery truly has been a labor of love from so many people and will be such a blessing to our sweet girl!
