Today I’m sharing, baby Manny’s nursery reveal with y’all. When I found out our IVF cycle was successful, I started a secret Pinterest board for his baby room. My husband and I worked on his room together as our first project in our new house. His room was the first room we really wanted to make sure was complete before he was born. In reality, he wouldn’t really use his own room until he was around 3 months. I think that was harder on me than him. While we were deciding how to decorate his room Pinterest was such a great tool. It helped me explain to my husband, and friends what I really wanted in his room. Thankfully my husband and friends were really patient with a very pregnant soon to be momma that wanted everything just right. They were my sounding board for all things baby room related that inspired me. It became an inside joke that the projects that I said we were doing really meant projects he(my husband) was doing.

The elephant theme throughout his room came about while I was watching the news, and they talked about orphaned Elephants and how similar baby Elephants are to us at their age. So I knew I had to incorporate these beautiful animals into my nursery design. When I was brainstorming color schemes; I knew I wanted his room to feel light, and airy while still throwing in key elements that made it feel like a baby’s room. That’s where the pops of red came from, and the inspiration for the bright color palette in his closet. The Railroad Crossing Lamp was really special to us since my husband works on lightrail system projects. I like that it’s something personal that means a lot to my husband. Reading to him while he was in my tummy was kind of my thing, so I knew his room should have lots of books. Since my husband is originally from Ecuador, we decided it would be perfect to incorporate both English and Spanish speaking books. We joke that Manny jr., and I are going to learn Spanish at the same time. We’re kind of kidding, Thankfully finding bilingual books wasn’t too hard. Choosing which ones was another story. There are so many adorable baby books to choose from. I’m usually not a hands on person in regards to putting furniture together, but I really wanted to help put everything together in the nursery. Once his room was almost ready, I began nesting and folding his tiny tiny clothes and blankets. It was such a special moment in time getting everything just right for his arrival. I loved nesting, and putting the final touches on his nursery. If you have any questions about anything in his nursery please ask. I love talking nursery design, and all things baby room related. Thanks so much for sharing my little guys nursery with me!! We’re really excited to celebrate our first Father’s Day with little Manny. Hope y’all have a great Father’s Day weekend with family and friends!!!
