Eleanora’s Newborn Session & Nursery Tour

It seems like it’s been such a long time since we (and by we I mean mostly me) dreamed up this little space for our baby girl. Months ago I envisioned a calm and inviting space where we’d spend time together. I’m certainly no designer, but I’m so happy with how it all came together. The soft ocean hues feel so peaceful. It’s definitely my favorite room in the house. I love to rock Eleanora and look out her windows. My sister took a few photos of us in her little room as well. (I’m not sure what I’d do with out her! Love you sis!) I managed to do a few “newborns” when she was about a week and a half old too…which is easier said than done! (I’m finding that photographing my own child is a lot harder than working with other people’s kids!) I loved incorporating her nursery theme by using seafoam and a sea glass tiara. My sweet friend Carlee designed it! She’s so incredibly talented! I’m so thankful for these memories of our beginnings as a threesome!

Most everything in Eleanora’s nursery was a bargain find, gift or a hand-me-down. I repainted and worked on a lot of things myself instead of buying everything new. Once I found something I loved, I looked for the cheaper version. Etsy is great for that! It took a lot more time that way, but it’s always good to be frugal. It was a fun challenge as well! My only splurge was my white rocker. I know it will probably get messes up (she’s already had one middle of the night explosion on it!) but it was worth it anyway! Here are some of the sources.
