I am SOO excited to finally post Emmalyn’s nursery! It is by far my favorite room in my house! Perfect for a little princess. Ah, I just love my sweet girl! Sometimes I just lay in there with my baby girl and look at the beautiful walls. It’s my happy place. I absolutely LOVE how it all came together. The “blood, sweat and tears” saying was SO true as I created each piece in her room. It was definitely a labor of love. ;) Let’s take a tour shall we…
The main colors I went with were pink, lime green and turquoise. I chose butterfly’s as the theme. I think it turned out absolutely DREAMY!
MY OTHER RECIPES
The bedding is the focal point of the whole room and it may have been the death of me. Lol! I sewed it ALL by hand (okay, so it was by machine-haha). I wanted the custom look of the boutique bumpers but certainly couldn’t afford the price tag. I spent about $50 on fabric (purchased from HL) and sewed my buns off! I called my MIL with questions, watched you tube videos on how to sew zippers and taught my self along the way. I had helped my MIL sew my sons crib bumpers, but I certainly didn’t know what I was getting my self into. I was about 7 months pregnant at the time and would just sit there and cry after I realized I had sewed the ruffles facing in the wrong way. I had to pick it ALL out and re sew the whole thing.
I also cried when I realized I had accidentally cut a hole in the bumpers (remember here). Dang it! I was so happy to finish those bumpers and fell completely in love after I sewed that last stitch. Aren’t they absolutely beautiful?! Of course they are mainly for decoration and not sleeping with.
This armoire is one of my favorite pieces from her room. If you haven’t seen the before pics you must check them out here! That was another labor of love. It is amazing what a little paint can do.
I also love these lamps (purchased from Target) with the big fat satin bows ( DIY lamp tutorial). I found the scrolly piece (Idk what to call that-ha) on clearance at Hobby Lobby and spray painted it blue. It brought in the perfect amount of color to separate the pink.
I love the hardware I spray painted pink… it totally makes the piece!
You saw the bead board wall yesterday (find the tutorial for how to install wainscoting) with the crystal knobs. You can also see here how to paint stripes on the wall. I found the 2 large white frames from IKEA and the large scalloped frame from Cut it Out. You may remember it from Emmalyn’s first Birthday party.
I love all the fun and unique knobs we found. They keep us organized and add a fun punch to the decor.
I turned my sons dresser GIRLY by spray painting the knobs pink and adding some fun fabric (with spray tac) to the glass. I also made a custom diaper changing pad (tutorial found here). I made the curtain rod with the lace flower‘s as well (here’s the how to make a curtain rod tutorial). I found the curtains from Pottery Barn, which was the one splurge for the room.
I found this brassy chandelier from Goodwill and spray painted it white. With a few jewels it was all glammed up. I also created a cord cover (find the tutorial here). I LOVE chandeliers! They totally make a room!
I also love the piece above Emmalyn’s crib. I spray painted this frame, found at IKEA and put the E in the center. Find the DIY button letter tutorial here. I recently added the butterflys on the side of the frame. I found those at Hobby Lobby (in the party section) for $1 each. I spray painted them and hung them up with velcro. I also punched out a few little white butterfly’s.
Ahh I am SO in love with her room!
So are you in LOVE?! What is your favorite piece from her room?
Wow, love her nursery. So girly!! I would swear you had a baby nursery designer come in and decorate the room. Great job!!
That is adorable! And I especially like the sweet little prop. She’s a darling!
you did an amazing job! what a special place for a darling girl!
Oh my goodness, this is adorable! You did such a lovely job piecing everything together. Love it all, really. :) Great job Jamielyn!
Great Job!! This looks great!!! What a fun girly space!! I’m sure that she will love it for years to come!! It’s something that works great for a baby but also for a toddler!!! FAb job!
I LOVE IT!!! So so so beautiful!!
This is adorable! And I know by looking at it that it took a lot to make that!! Awesome job by the way :)
I am sooo jealous!!! This is the cutest girls room ever!!!!
Absolutely beautiful!!!! My little one has a pink room too…my fav color:)
So gorgeous! You did an amazing job on that room. The colors are just perfect. Soak it up while you can! Out of my 4 girls, only one is still a girly girl! No matter how many huge bows, ruffles, lace and fingernail polish I used, the soccer ball won in the end! LOL It’s beautiful…thanks so much for sharing!
I have fallen in love and studied each picture for minutes at a time. Such a beautiful nursery, I can tell you put so much work into it! Love it!!!
Wow, this all turned out fantastic! I love the bumpers with the ruffles, but I think my favorite is the E above the crib and the little butterflies! So creative and adorable!
It’s beautiful! Really a room fit for a tiny princess…brava!!!
i LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
I can’t believe you sewed all of her bedding! It look fabulous. The whole room is just amazing!
I totally love this room! My favorite is probably the crib bedding or the armoire, I can’t decide! I taught myself to sew when I made my daughter’s crib bedding and well I cried a lot too! Probably because I was hugely pregnant and had a hard time cutting the fabric alone with my belly in the way. I will NEVER EVER get rid of that bedding! If my daughter doesn’t want it, it will go with me when I die, lol!
Your daughter’s nursery is just beautiful!
What a beautiful room! The bedding is probably my fave! You did such a great job!
My daughter’s nursery is also my fave room in the house!
So beautiful! I am sure she loves the room (and you too!).
love it all!
Especially, the small details. The decorative knobs. The pink spray-painted hardware.
Makes me hope for a 3rd pregnancy…
Oh my!!! I L-O-V-E it! I wish I could do something like that for my room ;) I love all the colors, patterns, the crib, the giant framed ‘E’ on the wall, etc. Amazing job!
It turned out GREAT!!! LOVE it!!! Awesome job my friend!! XO
I LOVE the bedding! Awesome job!
I loved it!!! Your are SOOOOOOO….. CREATIVE!!!!! Your daughter’s room is fit for a Princess!!! I love this page!!
It is Beautiful! I would love to have a room like this in my house. The bedding is so pretty! I can not believe you made it by your self. You should be so proud of your self.
Oh my gosh girl it looks GORGEOUS! I am in LOVE!
Oh my gosh, I am in LOVE. Ive always said if/when we have a girl–i want do her room in butterflies. So stinkin cute! I think my favorite part is the bedding. That bumper is so cute.
this is so awesome!! i love everything about it!! great job!!

So cute. My favorite would be your cute little girl, she is adorable. Love her Name by the way. I like th frame with E in it. I am going to find some frames and put my twin boys initial on them. Great idea. Love the whole room. Hopefully she would sleep through the night.
I really like the post about the crib, especially the color you choose is very beautiful I like the color pink
i love it all, but especially the butterfly fabric in the bumper – i used it in a quilt for my own emma jane’s room :)
my favorite? Emmalyn of course! what a doll! so precious!
as far as the details, it would be the armoire and all of it’s adornments. Whew! that room was a lot of work, but sooo totally worth it.
great job mom!

Thanks so much Kassi! The ruffled bumpers are my fave. I appreciate your comment. XO
It’s pretty and pink and girly! My older daughter (4.5) has a butterfly theme too, I love it. My favorite part is the button E with the butterflies, just so sweet and magical.

Thanks Jessica! I love butterfly’s, they definitely made the room. I appreciate your sweet comment. XO
I think love is putting it too mildly! This might just be the sweetest nursery I have ever seen! I think I am actually jealous of little Emmalyn and her sweet room! Of course she is so absolutely adorable – that picture of her in her crib is my favorite picture of the post :) My favorite piece would have to be the armoire – why do I never find things like that for $10? Thanks so much for sharing this finished room with us and for all the tutorials along the way. I’m going to show this to my girls and see if they would like a room like this – they are 14 and 17 – so minus the crib :)
Ah, you are so sweet! I’m a little jealous of her room too! ;) I really appreciate your sweet comment. XO
Where did you find the pattern for the boutique crib bumper? I want to try making my own as well but can’t find a pattern with the ruffles like this. Please help :)
I wish I had a pattern… maybe someday I’ll make one. :)
That is ah.maze.ing!! Absolutely beautiful! What a lucky little girl!
Thank you so much Kimberly! She loves it. :)
WOW, that is incredible! I love it all and the colors are perfect! I would love for you to share this (and any other creations) at Pin It and Win It Wednesday @ http://www.cheapcraftymama.com!
nice work my friend!
kisses

This room is beautiful! The colours pop and make it look bright and fun. You’re daughter is very lucky to have such a wonderful room. :)
the room looks darling!!!
I have sewed ruffles the wrong way and it’s so heartbreaking to unpick! Glad you made it through! Lovely Room!
She is totally a cutie, and her crib is just superbly amazing. I am gonna borrow some deco designs from you.
Oh my goodness! my daughter’s name is Emmalyn and we spell it the exact same way!! Everyone loves her name! Great job at her nursery!! I LOVE IT! Now I’m going to look at your ideas for her first bday party. My Emmalyn is turning 1 in a few months. Thanks for posting your ideas!!
Oh, my! My heart just stopped. This is seriously the most adorable nursery EVER! So much love in this room. You did a fabulous job, I have to pin it for inspiration! Bravo :)
Amazing! What a lucky little girl! Love the pink handles on the armoire!
SERIOUSLY these photos are AMAZING!!!
OMG, Gorgeous! I’d love for you to add it on my link party at: http://printabelle.com/?p=3188 Thanks!
LOVE it! I love the bumper! I was wondering what kind of batting you used to fill it and where you bought it? Thanks! I love your blog so much!
Jamie, my favorite would have to be the curtains and the cute curtain rod!!! you are sooo crafty, i love it
What is that luscious pink color on the walls? Love the room and precious Princess!
I LUV what you’ve done to your daughter’s room. Gave me several ideas formy new grandaughter!! Will post pics when done.
Wow! You have restored my faith in creativity. I have always believed I need to spend hundreds (& often thousands) on designer gear to make a room gorgeous. Obviously not! You have a huge dose of creative genius and a wonderful imagination. Well done!
Jamielyn, I love all that you did for your little girl’s nursery. I just found out that I am having a baby girl and I bought an old chandelier to redo as well. Where did you buy your jewels that you put on it? I’ve never done this before, so I want to get a good deal on some beads, but not sure where the best place to go is. Thanks!
Hi! This is my first time on your blog and I love your nursery reveal!
Question: did you also make the bed skirt and fitted sheet? Did you follow a pattern? If not, where did you buy them from?
Thanks!
I love the frame above her crib that you sprayed painted. What kind of spray paint did you use? I’m planning on buying this too.
I absolutely LOVE the wall with stripes. I’m trying to figure out in which part of my boy’s room I can do that.
I have a son 6 years old and found out a few months back I’m pregnant! And it’s a GIRL! So excited. I’m not a fan of traditional baby bedding so my mom is going to sew the bumpers, skirt, etc. Would you mind sharing where you purchased the pattern for this?
Thanks so much!

Hey Randi! I wish I had a pattern. I saw one like it in a boutique and with a lot of trial and error came up with my own. It was a lot of work, but definitely worth it! Congrats on your baby girl!
Thanks so much! My mom is just going to follow a pattern she got at Joann’s a long time ago and then improvise with some of your cute detail. This is the cutest bedding. Thanks again!
WOW…..everything in her room is so dreamy its like a princes`s room..very well done..
Awesome job! I like the shade of pink you chose on the walls and adore the details of fabric throughout the room!
I LOVE this room ! Especially the crib bumper. I was wondering what you used to stuff the bumper ?
What is the pink paint color on the walls called?
Ok, I love this!! The colors!! The armoire!! The crib bedding!! Well done!!
Thank you Sarah!! It was such a fun and LONG project, but I am very happy with how it all turned out! :)
What are those lamps from target called? Hoping they still have them!
Hi Katy! I can’t remember what they were called, but I searched crystal lamp on Target’s website and a few popped up that looked similar. :)
What is the wall color (the majority of the wall pink color)? I am having our first girl and was looking for a very similar pink. Thanks
Hi Brandi! I’m so sorry I don’t remember the name. We’ve moved so I don’t have the paint can. Congrats on your little girl!
Who made your crib?
Hi Deborah! I actually got it at Babies R Us a long time ago. :)
Hi! I love this nursery!!!! where did you get the patterns to sew the bedding??
