Evelyn's Nursery — Tales From the Nest

How fun has it been decorating a nursery for a little girl? So fun it's hard to stop! When I was pregnant with Sam I didn't know how to sew and a little site called Pinterest hadn't yet taken the world by storm. Having those two things this time around made working on Evelyn's nursery so easy. I didn't start out with a bird theme in mind, it just kind of evolved. I have to admit it fits us well! I also didn't think I'd want to paint the nursery pink, but I found the perfect shade, made just for someone who doesn't really like pink!

Here's what I've accomplished since finding out we were having a little girl.

It's a lot, and I think I'm done. Mostly. For now.
