Marlee Pearl's nursery is 99.9% complete....
......all we need now is our baby girl.
Due December 25th.
....a little tour.
Mika wanted Marlee Pearl's room to be BRIGHT and HAPPY.
Walls are painted aqua.
The Jenny Lend was Mika's crib 29 years ago. Milton painted it yellow to match the fabrics Mika picked for the bedding.
I gave Mika the red and white settee for the nursery....
(Mika said Marlee Pearl wanted it)
; - )))
A round tee-shirt rug in dark aqua.
One of Mika's old sock monkeys...
....gumball machine for color.
Rebekah sewed large ball fringe to plain curtain panels.
Monica found the little table at an estate sale. Milton painted it red. The top wasn't so great, so we covered it w/ oilcloth.
This cute monkey is from David's Mom.
It smells good, like baby powder.
....the nursery smells like a baby!
Rebekah made the bed skirt and all the pillows.
Thank you so much Rebekah~ LOVEYOU!
We've had this rocking chair in our family for years.
rock-a-bye-baby.....This old wire basket is tied w/ ribbon to the end of the crib. It's filled with good reading books.
Great vintage cabinet. David's Mom and Dad bought it for the nursery.
It's filled with Mika's childhood books, and fun collectibles.
The 3 vintage nursery rhyme pictures above the cabinet were given to Mika from Staci Bryan, Monica's daughter.
THANKS STACI!
Antique dresser is now the changing table.
Our favorite artist~ Duda Daze painted this canvas for the nursery...
It's a gift from 'us'.... Lollie and Pop.
We sent scrap fabric from the bedding to Di. She used it for the dress. Di used little red ribbon pieces for her hair. The ric-rack is a little scrap piece too. Di also incorporated what Mika loves in the painting -an owl, butterfly, daisies, blue birds, & red mushrooms. Mika wanted her shoes to be red Chucks. We love the cute bunting Di.
.....sure hope Marlee Pearl's hair will be brown!!
Go here to see Di's work.
Thanks Di~ we LOVE the painting!
The corner 'mobile' is really for 'color'......
Made from a red umbrella, lanterns, and paper pom-poms.
Mika made Marlee Pearl's name from wooden letters w/ scrap-book papers.
Crocheted owl blanket~ All Things Granny
Polka dot crib sheet~ Putucos
Milton and I enjoyed helping Mika and David with
Marlee Pearl's nursery.
Love and happiness to all....
Lollie and Pop
XOXO
I adore the yellow crib with ruffled skirt! Wishing you all many warm snuggles and happy memories in here!

Oh. My. Word. So cute, and such a lovely name, too! I love the layers of rufflies on the bedskirt, it is SO YOU TWO! I love it all but the favorite of mine is the cabinet with all the wonderful vintage sweet things to look at and to touch and to read...!
You have done it again!

Tina & Mika it is absolutely beautiful. I love everything you have done. It is so colorful and bright for that sweet baby's
eyes. She won't ever cry, she has too much to look at. Tell Rebekah I said she did a wonderful job and tell her "hi" for me. BEAUTIFUL NURSERY!!!

Tina let me first say that the nursery is absolutely adorable and Marley Pearl will be a lucky baby indeed. I have one concern and that is the crib. Not sure if you know ALL side drop rail cribs have been banned from being used , resold, donated etc due to potential issues that have arisen. I know about this because of recent crib shopping with a friend but the danger is real and I just wanted to make sure you knew so nothing could hurt that sweet baby coming all of your way. Peace and blessings.

Cute, cute, cute ! Love all of the vintage touches ! Huckleberry Prairie has a cute, colorful nursery if you haven't seen it. I thought maybe you would like it too.
Praying for a happy, healthy little one :).

Sooo precious!

Super cute! This is so sweet, and just perfect for your new grand daughter. My son was born in December, and we always had fun party themes. One time, we had a Star Wars theme around Christmas decorations. Then the next year, it was Goosebumps-R.l. Stine, scary decorations around Christmas. The 25th is just around the corner.

Ann.......Marley Pearl reminds me of that.
Happy Baby.

The room is just beautiful. What a lucky baby. So many pretty colors.
I love the name Marley Pearl. Can I ask how this name was chosen?
My birthday is Christmas Eve. I have always loved being born so close to Christmas. It made me feel almost 'special' for some reason. I am sure that your Marley Pearl will love being a Christmas baby too.
Posted by: Roxie | November 01, 2011 at 10:54 AM
OMG this room is so precious just as Marley Pearl will be! Brings tears to my eyes just to see and feel all the love put into the Nursery!

I love that time, just before the baby comes, when the nursery is so organized and beautiful, and fairly quivering with anticipation!
Many blessing upon your family.
