Westyn's Nursery

Finally...I know you all have been waiting on pins and needles to see her room...haha! We hung the last few things and it is ready (for the most part, still need curtains)...just waiting for little miss! When we found out we were having another girl I knew I wanted to try something completely different from Blakelee's room. I LOVE B's room and I just knew if they were too similar I would constantly be comparing them and I would never get it "right" without just making a clone of her room. So we decided to go with coral, pinks, aqua, and gold and try a vintage feel! I love the way it turned out and am so so happy with it! (Now, if I could just decide on curtains...)

Here's just an overview of her room!
For our shelves we bought some planks at the hardware store and had them cut to the width we wanted. We bought white brackets and I spray painted them gold! I bought some fun board book classics to display on the bottom shelf but they aren't in yet, so I decorated with what I had!

Ah...that gold dot wall...in love!! My fist time to really sit down and scour pinterest for nursery ideas I knew I had to do this in her room! It was actually pretty straight forward and easy once you got the hang of it! For anyone wanting to try this my suggestion is to spend lots of time mapping out where you want your dots (make sure you'll have enough) and use a laser level! I purchased the 1 inch gold dots from this shop on Etsy. 
I've had this old window for a couple years now. It, with another matching one, have just been sitting on our mantel in our living room. I knew when we decided to go for vintage I wanted to use one in her room! While I wanted the window to look old I didn't want paint chipping off into her eyes while I change diapers...haha! So, I scraped off all the paint that was already chipping and gave it a light sand, applied a coat of white paint, distressed it and then finished with a dark wax....I was super pleased with how it turned out!
The dresser and nightstand were our first purchases for her room! We got them off craigslist and had a friend re-do them....I just love love love how they turned out!
I know I could have made the tissue garland but I decided to make my life a bit simpler by just purchasing it here on Etsy!

We went with a classic Jenny Lind style crib. I had been eyeing it on amazon but actually found it on sale at a baby store in Amarillo!
The bedding was custom made by my sweet mother!! We picked a variety of different Amy Butler fabrics from her Love line and a gold polkadot fabric! I just can't say how perfect it is and exactly what I was wanting!!
I got the poms from this store on Etsy...figuring out where and how you want these hung is a little more challenging than I expected but I'm really happy with how it turned out!

I knew I wanted to get a monogram for Westyn's room because I love the statement it makes in Blakelee's room! I purchased the unfinished 36" monogram from this Etsy shop and spray painted it gold.
I loved Blakelee's monogrammed blanket and knew Westyn needed one too!
We found the owl pillow at Garden Ridge (I believe the store is called "At Home" now), the lamp is from Hobby Lobby, and clock was a Zulily purchase! I got the gold and white moccs from Jane but can't remember the store name!
I knew I wanted to spend a little more money on our chair for Westyn's room than we did on the one we have in B's. I just spent so much more time in it than I realized. While it was comfortable "enough" I knew I wanted something that 3 of us could rock in and then transition it down to the playroom in the future. We decided on this glider/recliner from Babies R Us in the base color, shadow. We are very pleased with it so far, can't wait to rock my babies in it!

The blanket ladder is my Dad's old ladder! I remember him using it for various paint projects and other things throughout my childhood. Brock cut off the top and took the front off. I gave it a light sand and then went through the same process as I did on the window...love how it turned out!!

Here are a few detail pics!
