I have to say, I had a ton of different ideas floating around in my head (and pinned on Pinterest) for this sweet little girl’s nursery. I LOVE blue and pink together so I ultimately decided to go with an aqua and pink color scheme with bird accents. We were able to use a lot of the furniture from Raley’s nursery, so we didn’t have to buy a new crib, changing table or rocker. The only thing we had to get was a bookcase and some decor. I absolutely love how it turned out!

Aqua and Pink Nursery
The window pane I found on the side of the road, cleaned it, and repainted it. The monogram I ordered from www.craftcuts.com
The crib bedding was made by my amazing grandmother. Definitely something I will cherish forever!
I made this ribbon mobile by just using a cross stitch ring and cutting up a bunch of ribbon. I hung it from the motor from Raley’s mobile so it will sing and spin. I am absolutely obsessed with the bracket. I had seen pictures of brackets like these and looked at a few different stores for them but couldn’t find what I was looking for. Finally I realized I was looking for the wrong thing. It’s actually a plant hanger! I ended up finding it in the garden department at Home Depot.
I finally got photos printed!
Nursery Storage Solutions
So how do you keep a nursery organized (I cannot stand a cluttered space)? The answer is simple – LOTS of baskets! These are a few of my favorite storage solutions that worked for Raley’s nursery that I’m using for Audrey’s as well:
Top drawer of dresser from left to right:
-Pacifers, meds, Q-tips, baby nail clippers, etc.
– Burp cloths
– Diapers
– Baby powder, diaper cream, baby oil, baby brush
-Wipes
Second drawer from left to right:
– Onesies sorted by size (NB and 3 month)
– Hats and bloomers
– Bibs
Third drawer from left to right:
– Leggings (NB and 3M – I know, that’s alot of leggings!)
– Swaddlers (the kind that velcro)
– Tights
– Basket of socks
We added this lower shelf in her closet for $30. We added one in Raley’s room before she was born too. It works out perfect because I’m short and don’t like reaching up high for things that I need frequently.
On the shelf in baskets:
– Shoes
– Wipes
– Diapers
– Swaddle blankets
– Bigger plush blankets
– There is a hanging basket below the shelf that holds changing
table covers, pack-n-play sheets, and bassinet sheets.
*Crib sheets and mattress protectors are in a roll out drawer under her crib
^These baskets are filled with toys^
The basket on the bottom shelf of the table has a bib, burp cloth and swaddle blanket for convenience during feedings. I’ll fill it with other things that I find I’ll need later – I’m sure there will be something!
There you have it! What are your favorite storage solutions?
