Baby girl's nursery

My mom, younger sister, and I spent the past two days in Birmingham helping my older sister decorate the nursery for sweet "baby girl" who will be joining the family in just a few short weeks! We had so much fun as always spending time together. We work really well as a team, and we got SO much accomplished (yard work, painting chest of drawers, decorating, washing baby girl's clothes...). I love how baby girl's room turned out! It is so fresh and inviting, and Tom says it looks very "southern!" :) It definitely has an antique feel to it as we used some of our grandmother's crocheted doilies as a theme... (the baby's room also doubles as a guest room, hence the two twin beds..)

 We knew that we wanted to use framed doilies as a theme, but didn't really know what to use as the background...Ivey found these lovely blue floral napkins in her closet and they worked beautifully!

 We painted some random frames white and starched the doilies and put it all together!

 I used the handy box cutter and the glass from the frame to cut a cardboard piece the right size

 Then I stretched the cloth napkin around the cardboard and stapled it taut (actually we started out stapling, but then realized that duck tape worked better!)

 The lamp also belonged to my grandmother, and we just gave it a fresh coat of spray paint as well! Need to find a shade for it!

 Last night after working all day, we relaxed outside at Chuy's for dinner!

 Playing patty-cake with Thomas...

 We were so glad that Robby was off and was able to join us!

 I lived in Birmingham for about 6 months when I was doing my Child Life internship at Children's Hospital in 2009, and loved this place--Mountain Brook Creamery! I was telling my mom and sister about it on the drive down, so we had to stop in after dinner and satisfy my craving! Thomas loved watching a little girl's birthday through the window!

 He also enjoyed riding the lions outside!

We just have a couple more projects to do in baby girl's room (make a bed skirt, and paint two canvas pictures with birds) and we will be finished! Looking forward to getting it all ready for this precious new addition!!
