It can be hard to design a room around someone you haven’t quite met yet, right? The spectrum of colors to choose from alone can be daunting, but when you’re in the final stretch of being preggo and the nesting phase hits you hard, it will all come to you. Sort of like it did for baby Pearl’s mama, Cori.

She wasn’t sure what she was going to do with the nursery, until she purchased that black & white pillow from Ikea, propped it in the crib, and decided it had to stay there.

That sweet crochet mobile… mama made it! We bet Pearl can stare it for hours.

Oh, hi there sweet Pearl!

That dresser looks like a mighty fine Ikea hack. Makes us want to buy one and paint it up ourselves. Cori used this very inexpensive dresser and just painted the drawers & knobs to fit the color scheme in the nursery. Genius!

Beautiful room, and even more beautiful family!
