Swoon Worthy Rainbow Themed Nursery for Sweet Tori Grace

When it comes to creating a special place to bring your newborn baby home to, it can be overwhelming for most moms. There are so many amazing trends, themes and color combos, its hard to choose. There is one trend that stands out most to me that I usually always fall back on and its "neutral". There is just something about soft neutral colors that bring comfy, cozy vibes and isn't that exactly what all parents want for their sweet babies. A little haven that is full of inspiration and beauty without being too overwhelming. 

Well my wonderful friend, fellow military spouse and expecting mom to sweet baby girl, Tori Grace did just that. She pieced together her little girl's nursery using soft subtle pink, white and a grey hues creating a rainbow theme that adds whimsy with a touch of sophistication making it easy to transition as she grows older. I'm so in love with the different textures and accents Mandi added to each corner of the room creating a soft and soothing space fit for any newborn.

Join with me as we fawn over sweet Tori Grace's nursery and her mama's timeless eye for design.

I can’t wait to share her gorgeous maternity photos tomorrow. Their sweet family is as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside.

Journey's Shabby Chic Nursery By Erica Mae Photography

Simplistically Shabby Chic! That's what I am labeling this precious nursery, photographed by talented photographer and fellow Texan, Erica Mae Photography! Erica beautifully captured the delightfully dainty details that set the stage for this elegant, yet comfortable baby oasis. Mom, Shelby says that she knew she "wanted the room to have a shabby chic feel to it. Simple, clean and elegant." By mingling beautiful classic vintage pieces with touches of glam, this nursery offers a beautiful space that baby Journey can grow into and appreciate even as a teenager. The most exciting part about this charming design, is that it doesn't have to come at a price! Many of the pieces Shelby incorporated were used as décor at their wedding, which holds a sweet sentimental value to the space. The rest were craigslist, goodwill and discount finds(see item listing below).  Even though Shelby was going for a "less is more" look to the room, she continues to add extra touches here and there and has come to terms with the fact that the room may never fully be finished. I get so much joy finding these little nursery design gems that look "magazine" amazing, yet do not cost an arm and a leg to pull off. It's because of these creatively talented mommies, like Shelby, our eyes may be open to the possibility that it can be done in a budget friendly way.
