Baby Puggle’s Nursery Reveal: After Every Storm Comes a Rainbow...
I couldn’t choose just a few photos to share so a full blog it is! And after 3 years in the making (visualising and planning) it certainly deserves its own blog! I have always had a passion for interior decorating, mostly starting with a blank white/crisp canvas and turning it into my very own space. The plan was always a gender-neutral nursery despite us knowing we were having a boy, as I’ve never been one for bright blues or pinks, especially on walls. We were lucky that we were able to transition James into a big boy room about 6 months ago and keep most of the fittings (e.g. cot, dresser, shelves) in his nursery and simply change up the decor for baby #2. This time around we went with earthy tones and a ‘rainbow’ theme to represent our struggles & acknowledge our journey.
As usual, I sourced most of our items from Instagram and local/handmade businesses. I know what you’re thinking…‘the baby can’t appreciate wall decals and useless little wooden things’ but I will appreciate it and useless little wooden things are freaking cute! My biggest indulgence this time around has been Jamie Kay – a clothing range crafted from the softest highest quality fibres that my dreams are made of! I splurged on a baby backpack from Vanchi as I plan to babywear bubs as much as possible and this all just made more sense with a toddler!
I also found the most amazing Moses Bassinet on a local Buy Swap Sell group that will easily be moved from room to room while bubs is still teeny and fresh. My final purchase which arrived just this week was a rainbow cot quilt from Lilah & Co – my friend tagged me in a post and I ordered it within 0.5 seconds! And lastly, I am giving the biggest shoutout to Rochelle from Zaeli & Co…a local Adelaide Mum (of a heart kid & premmie bub) who has gone above & beyond to find the perfect fabrics for my style and then make them into wraps, play mats & even bloomers! You all need to go and hit her up! There are still a couple of last minute additions which include his name (an etched bamboo name plaque from Let’s Etch will go above his cot) – but these will obviously be shared at a later date so stay tuned…!
I am so proud of the space I have created for our little Puggle, one where he can feel comfortable and utterly loved. There’s no denying that each and every addition to his first room was inspired by the dream that one day I would be sitting in the rocking chair holding him safely in my arms.
