I am sooooo super excited to FINALLY reveal Hollis’s nursery!
I am super bummed because as most of you know, our house was broken into and my laptop was stolen… with all of the step by step pictures and tutorials for the nursery.
Booo-hoo-hoo…
..that seriously stinks because I was soooo excited to share every.single.teeny.tiny.detail with you and literally walk you through every step of decorating this nursery.
Anywho,
we must move on…
…so I will try my best to share as many tips and tutorials as I can!
Now for the BIG REVEAL!!!
One of my favorite things in the nursery is this light fixture.
I found it a Goodwill for $5!
It was brass (not a “good” brass) and seriously AWFUL!
With the help of Krylon’s Watermelon spray paint, this light fixture went from drab to FAB!
One thing I loved about this light fixture right away was the sweet flower detail on the frosted globes!
I painted the ceiling medallion with a “dry” paint brush to give it a weathered look.
I used the same paint as I did on the walls (Valspar Aqua Glow) and love the way it turned out!
I decided to hang the chevron pennant banner I made for Harper’s Bow Tie & TuTu Birthday Party above the closet in the nursery!
This sweet pink dresser was a side of the road find from about 6 years ago.
With a little Valspar Sweet Pink paint, some Krylon Ivy Leaf Spray Paint on the handles and some glass knobs, this dresser turned into the perfect dresser for a sweet little baby girl’s nursery!
I am really loving the way the dresser pops against the aqua walls!
{tutorial on the HOLLIS letters coming soon}
I decided to use everyday baby items as décor in her nursery as well!
These burps add a fun pop of color on top of the dresser and are easily accessible at the same time!
{Burp Cloth Tutorial coming soon!}
Above Hollis’s crib are her giant monogram!
You can purchase it here at an awesome price!
I spray painted this one using Krylon Watermelon.
I also made the crib shirt using this tutorial!
When I walk into the nursery,
I instantly become happy!
I love the pops of pink, green and aqua!
Above the daybed hangs two old windows that display our favorite ultrasound pictures of Hollis!
Ross removed (more like beat) the glass with a hammer then added chicken wire to the back of the window panes securing it in place with a staple gun.
I used little tiny clothes pins to display the ultrasound pictures!
The “changing table” is an old super heavy oversized chest that I painted and distressed years ago!
Love it!
I used a shutter that I found on the side of the road to hold Hollis’s bows!
I was surprised to find that it works GREAT!
(and just incase you are wondering… this is not even half of the bows Hollis has waiting to be worn!)
Of course, this is a nursery,
so I wanted to make sure to keep it fun!
I saved these fun little sock animals that were in Cliff’s nursery and decided they were perfect to hang out in Hollis’s nursery!
I made this super fun, scrappy lamp using this tutorial.
Did you notice this guy?!
The mobile that hangs in the nursery had a seriously fabulous tutorial ready to go!…
…on the laptop that was stolen…
Don’t worry, I am trying to recreate the tutorial for you!
{Mobile tutorial/details coming soon}
There is a local artist here called “The Chicken Man” and I knew that I wanted to use his awesome work in Hollis’s nursery!
(This one was in my room when I was in highschool!)
I love this happy little corner of the nursery!
See the other Chicken Man painting?!
The pink bamboo table used to be green and would you believe me if I told you it is actually a planter with a stacked basket on top?!
This pom pom banner was super simple to make and added the perfect element of fun to the crib!
{Pom Pom Banner tutorial coming soon}
Apparently crib bumpers are a BIG no no now…
(It’s amazing Cliff and Harper survived with their fabulously thick bumpers in their cribs…Ha!… seriously these “baby safety” rules change so fast that I am out of the loop even though I had a baby 2 years ago…)
So, I decided to forgo a bumper and applique Hollis’s monogram in the center of her crib sheet!
I love the way it turned out!
The cornice board was created using this tutorial.
I decided to keep this one straight since the window is so large and I added pom poms to the bottom edge too!
Would you believe me if I told you it is made out of foam board?!
I can’t wait to show Hollis her nursery!
(…she better stay put for about three more weeks though!)
Paint Colors:
Wall: Valspar Aqua Glow
Dresser: Valspar Sweet Pink
Monogram, light fixture, bamboo side table: Krylon Watermelon Spray Paint
Lamp base, drawer pulls, hoop for mobile: Krylon Ivy Leaf Spray Paint

Yay for a finished nursery!
…Now what am I going to do to pass the time?!…
what a spectacular space – i’m truly smitten with every single little element – what a wonderful place to call home for a little one!
It’s all so beautiful! I’m going to say, though, that the cornice with the sweet pom-pom trim is my most favorite… beautiful work, she will adore her new space, I just know it! Xx~M
Such a beautiful nursery!!! I love all the cute & eclectic details.
-Liz Marie
It really is just perfect. Love the colors and all the special touches. Hollis will love it.

That nursery is the cutest thing ever. Hollis is one lucky girl! Love all of the colors, especially that watermelon color.
OH.MY.GOODNESS this is amazing. beautiful details, i love every bit! now i want another baby….*sigh*

Gorgeous! I love the way you displayed the ultrasound pictures. So creative!
So cute!
Hey, just wanted to stop by and let you know that I featured you over at Sugar Bee Crafts! I just looooove the colors you chose for this lovely nursery
That is so pretty and feminine. I love the watermelon colored lamp and the pink dresser most of all. But the whole room is drool-worthy!
The window panes and light fixture {love the watermelon} are my favorite!! I may need to find somewhere to add some chicken wire panes to my daughter’s nursery! I have a million ultrasound photos so that is a perfect idea! This is such a beautiful room! Your little ones are so lucky to have such a talented mama. And baby Hollis is going to love her room
I know you’ve got your hands full now, but if you ever feel like stopping by a new link party, I would love to have you share your ideas! Every Thursday! 
Hi Natalie, I’m your newest follower! This room is simply amazing and what an awesome name you have chosen for your little girl. Love all of it. I hope you don’t mind but I’ve given you a shout out on my FB page xx Nat

Very cute! I love the colors you chose to use in her nursery! Great job!
Found you over at A Glimpse Inside. What a fabulous space! I really love the idea of monogramming the crib sheet in place of the bumper. I also love the idea of chicken wire behind the window pane for hanging pictures. So cute!
Oh, it is darling! Beautiful job!! Thank you for sharing. Visiting from Hookin Up. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2012/07/make-it-pretty-monday-week-6.html Wishing you a grand rest of the week. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
LOVE this Natalie!! Absolutely beautiful
Super cute Natalie! Love all of it!
I still put bumpers in Parker’s crib even though they are a no-no now. She’s a wiggle worm so I rather have them than not.
Love it, Nat!! It’s so pretty. Baby H is going to love it!
What an absolutely amazing nursery! I positively love the window frames for displaying photos and the shutter for hair bows!
Girl, you are a rock star! This is seriously my favorite nursery, ever. The ceiling fixture and medallion, the changing table, the photo display windows…it is all amazing in every way. Hope you are feeling good and ready for that baby:)Thanks for linking up at Get Schooled Saturday:)

I am SERIOUSLY in LOVE! Found out we are having a girl a couple of weeks ago so i am super excited to get inspiration from your nursery when we plan ours!
I love the room! I also have a little girl named Hollis Mae….. Hollis is a awesome name for girls.
This room is so lovely! Every girly touch shows love.
What an adorable nursery! I love your color scheme! I am so sorry to hear your house got broken into that is awful. I hope you and your family were and are safe! Great job again!
This nursery is adorable. There are so many sweet details and I love the colors you chose. How fun to bring your sweet baby home to this beautiful room. I’m sorry to hear about your break in. Thanks for linking to the Home Decor and Organizing Link Party. I’m featuring this on my blog today.
The nursery is precious! I love all of the colors. We are planning on painting a dresser for our upcoming nursery. Question-Did you paint the dresser with a regular paint brush or something else? I was wondering if it leaves brush strokes?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this nursery. Everything about it is to die for. Your pendant and table lamps are probably my favorite.
If you get a chance I would just love to have you link up your nursery reveal at my Pin Part. It is definately Pin worthy.

Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months
of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
