WIT mama friday: Greta's nursery

I didn't know if I was having a boy or a girl, so to start with I kept Greta's nursery neutral with shades of white and beige. I bought a polka dot bed spread and matching curtains and started adding bits and pieces only after she was born, for the exception of a yellow Liberty print fabric curtain which would have not been appropriate for a boy however much I tired to convince myself and others! Here are some photos of her bedroom as it is today, one whole year after she landed in my arms.

A little overview when walking in through the door

Greta especially loves her bunny but most soft toys anyway!

I've been collecting cards of all sort with animals on them  and then framing them as cool prints.
She loves pointing at them!Especially at Walter the Whale

These accessorize wings are such a sweet prop hanging above her bed

Her wardrobe was always going to be my obsession. I keep it super tidy
and had a liberty print curtain made to close it off. The fabric is called
Claire-Aude and comes in lots of beautiful shades.

I painted the baskets with Farrow and Ball colours and now use them
to display and keep Greta's bedroom toys in

I use the hooks above her toys to display my favourite outfits

I love her pin board with all sorts of memories like our wrist bands
from the hospitals and fabric swatches from when I was doing up her room

This rocking sheep is a recent buy from Zulilly

I use decorative paper to stick photos of us and the family around
so she can point at us. We took this photo in Paris especially for her!

This was an old chair from my house in Florence which I had upholstered
in a coarse cotton stripe fabric from Designer Guild

Classic Liberty print fabric  is the them of Greta's room, I had this pillow made
when she was born.

This use to be her changing table, now I use it to display
her little things like bows and photo frames

The home made jams from her Christening, some of her favourite books and
Vogue from September 2012 (the year she was born)

I've been collecting sweet alice bands and hair accessories from ilovegorgeous.com for when she's older

One of my favourite photos of the two of us with London in the background.. if we ever move from
he UK I will show it to her and say: "this is the country you were born in"

The seagull hanging from the ceiling was mine, Greta loves to look at it
while I change her nappy!

Changing station and the wall I painted on a sleepless night when she was
one month!

One of the most beautiful gifts she received: liberty print alphabet letters
spelling her name

I got the felt stars from Little Nest Box at Notonthehighstreet

This was my gift to Greta when she was born from Modo Creative

The cashmere blanket my grandmother had made for Greta's birth and the
monogramming that my aunt hand made on it is a total heirloom

The mushroom doorstop from Jools Oliver Mothercare collection is
always coommented on!
