Well it probably comes as no surprise as a girly girl that I always envisioned having a daughter! When we found out through a DNA test that we were having a girl, I almost could not believe it...especially after two boys! (You can watch our Gender Reveal on Instagram). Our odds were quite high for having another boy, and we had come to terms with that ahead of time. When it started to sink in that the DNA test only had a .5% chance of being inaccurate, the planning started to begin. Our nursery had already had two iterations of Navy and White for both boys, so now it was time for a major mix up!

One of my all-time favorite brands is The Beaufort Bonnet Company and they released a beautiful bow pattern pajama several years ago that was the same pattern as my childhood wallpaper. My first step was trying to find that wallpaper and I was in luck! Ralph Lauren was re-releasing that pattern...the bad news is it wasn’t supposed to arrive until the end of February and I was due the beginning of March. As luck would have it, the day I decided to have a painter come and repaint the navy and white striped walls to pink and white as I couldn’t wait any longer, an unmarked package arrived. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, and there was my beautiful childhood wallpaper that arrived two months ahead of schedule! I had to politely dismiss the painter and call in my wall paper person!

The next step was finding the beautiful linens I had always imagined. Carol, of Lulla Smith in New York, was an absolute delight to work with and helped me on my way of creating the perfect pink and white bow bedding!

The changing table was the original Pottery Barn Kids one that we purchased with our first born and has proved to be an incredible system for functionality and organization!

The last piece was designing a bespoke custom rug with the ever so talented Ally Catherine of June St George! Who knew creating a rug would be so fun! The bow design was a no brainer, but the monogram was very difficult. You see my husband, oldest son and daughter all share the same initials. It was my goal to make sure I found the most feminine iteration of the letters I have had monogrammed so many times. The ladies over at Ellis Hill had created a custom pillow for the nursery and it was decided that we would match the rug and pillow monograms! It was a match made in Heaven!

I know this is reaching the upper echelons of a truly pink nursery, but after two boys I have no apologies! For all I know my sweet baby girl may rebel against pink one day, so I will enjoy every second of it for now!
