Clara's Nursery

I have FINALLY finished the nursery. I was going for a vintage/antique rose look. I knew I wanted a wrought iron crib. I did not want things to be too "matchy matchy." I wanted it to have character and special meaning. Many of the pieces in the nursery are very special. It is officially my favorite room in the house. I cannot wait for our Clara to get here! The rug is from Layla Grace. It was the very first piece I bought for the nursery. My grandmother, Sarah, gave me the rose painting. The glider is from Baby's 1st Furniture and is so comfortable! My mom made the pillow. I just love sitting in the glider, imagining what it will be like when our little one is here.
We actually got the shelf at Target. The baskets are from Pottery Barn Kids. They are already full of baby Clara essentials (bows and headbands, burp rags, diapers, etc.) We are all set!
The gown on the left is Clara's take-home outfit. My mother smocked the dress in the middle (along with a matching bonnet). Mrs. Patrice smocked the gown on the right. All three are very very special. The hooks are from Pier 1.
Sarah, found this dresser for me. It could not be more perfect. It just has so much character, and I love how feminine it is! The gold mirror belonged to my great-grandmother.
I love, love, love owls. I found this adorable light switch cover at Anthropologie.
Sarah gave me the adorable lamp shade. The book, Clara's Story, was made with love by Aunt Alli. Alli gave me the book at my first shower. It is one of the most precious gifts I have ever recieved.
We will need to put a picture in the frame once we get some pictures of our little bit. My sister and I collected Madam Alexander dolls when we were little. This particular doll, Scarlett O'Hara, was my very very favorite! (Still is!)
My Nana and Mammaw's China. Even as a little girl, I remember thinking they were so beautiful in my Nana's China cabinet. I absolutely LOVE this piece of the nursery!
Ivory silk dupoin drapes. My mom made the sashes, (which match the bumper).
My Papa made this rocking horse for me when I was a baby. I knew I would use it if we had a little boy, but it fits just as well in our bee's nursery! So special!
Lee Lee and Pop Pop bought Clara her crib. I always knew I wanted a wrought iron crib...and I fell in love with this one from the beginning. Jerry Manto, one of the music teachers at my school, made the beautiful bumper. My sweet home room mom, Kala, just gave me the silk duponi crib skirt. It all came together perfectly! I could not be more pleased!
