Reese's Toddler Room...Plus Nursery Coming Soon!

We have been slowly transitioning Reese into more of a toddler room. We started in the fall by opening her crib to more of a daybed. But, she was really outgrowing the crib mattress and we are going to need that crib mattress for the new baby, so we thought summer would be a good time to get her into a twin bed. I've heard not to make too many changes right before or after the new baby arrives, so this should be plenty of time for her to adjust. Most of her décor and colors are staying the same from her original nursery. Her nursery was never super "babyish," and we still really love all the bright colors. Since we haven't changed a whole lot with the design, it has been a fairly easy (and fun) transition.

Jenny Lind Bed

Between the two "kid" bedrooms is a bathroom that they will share. Here's a look at that. There is a little pink, but I think it'll work for either a boy or girl. I wanted to keep this bathroom less "kiddy" since our guests also use this bathroom.

And here's a look at the playroom, which will soon be a nursery. We have absolutely LOVED having this playroom space for Reese, so it is sad to see it go. Our plan is to create a space in the basement living room for a playroom. I think we will like that too and I'm looking forward to putting that space together soon. We also plan to put some of Reese's toys in her bedroom and in the upstairs living room, so that she'll have things to play with on the main level. In the mean time, we will continue to use the playroom as we transition it into a nursery.

We have a design theme for the nursery and we picked up the paint this weekend. Since it is too hot to work outside in our flower beds like we had planned and Reese happened to go down for nap (hallelujah!), we decided to start painting the nursery. We're only painting the ceiling and the wall above the trim, so it should be a quick project. Although I think Reese is going to be a little shocked when she wakes up and finds out the state of her playroom.



Paint Color: Sherwin Williams Open Air

Don't worry about the baby blue being too babyish. This room will transition nicely into a toddler room as well- wait and see! This is just the beginning!
