June’s Rainbow Nursery

February 4, 2020~ Baby, Decor, Nursery

The big reveal is here! June’s rainbow nursery is complete, and I’m so glad I chose to do this big update. The space feels complete, it also finally feels like its vibing with the rest of the house. Big shout-out to Steph from Casa Watkins for hosting the New Year New Room challenge. I can’t wait to see what the others got up to! Check out the plans for the rainbow nursery, her DIY bean bag floor pillows, Children’s bookshelf styling tips and the DIY rainbow door.

*Spoonflower,  Mohawk, BEHR, and Homesense sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

Rainbow Kids Decor

I fought it for like 7 months, but y’all, rainbows are where its at for kids and kids decor. Especially for someone like me!  Rainbows allow me to bring all the colours I love into play, they add so much whimsy, and you can’t really mess up accessorizing them either. 

Rainbow Nursery Decor Plans

You’ll recall in week 1 I laid-out the plans for the nursery revamp. I wanted to bring pattern, fresh colour, and lots of textiles and art into the space. I mainly kept to a soft purple and white palette, because those two shades will allow all my other colours to stand-out. We love a rainbow nursery. From literal rainbows, to every single colour IN the rainbow. Come see how to put it all together for your little ones. I’m ecstatic with how my plans came together, and while we’re still missing one or two things in this space, I’m calling it complete.

June’s Rainbow Nursery

So without further delay, here we go! JB’s rainbow nursery is the stuff of her dreams my dreams, and its now her play space. We love a rainbow nursery. From literal rainbows, to every single colour IN the rainbow. Come see how to put it all together for your little ones.

Styled Bookshelves

Last week I shared my tips and video for styling children’s bookshelves. I haven’t changed a thing since, I achieved perfection. Time to stop. For those of you who are curious, the shade in the back of the bookcases is called Pink Proposal by BEHR Paint.

Floor and Tummy Time

June spends a good chunk of time on the ground rolling around. The rug she hangs out on is important. Funny story: one of the first rugs we had in this space was a Mohawk rug, and this one is too! We’ve got the Adona here, with a rug pad underneath for extra comfort. We love a rainbow nursery. From literal rainbows, to every single colour IN the rainbow.

It may even hide the mess she makes between her drool, and Bruce’s snuggles. We love a rainbow nursery. From literal rainbows, to every single colour IN the rainbow.

The Stokke Sleepi Crib

We originally had the Stokke Sleepi mini, but after 5 months she has outgrown it and needed the extensions. We ordered those from West Coast Kids, where we originally got the Sleepi Mini.  Dan put it together over the weekend. and JB seems to love the extra space. Hopefully she’s got at least a year before she sizes out of this one. We love a rainbow nursery. From literal rainbows, to every single colour IN the rainbow. Come see how to put it all together for your little ones. I’ve got a tutorial for the oval crib sheet coming next week! So stay tuned if you’re dying to know how to make your own. In addition to the fabric for the floor bean bags and crib sheet, we ordered a blanket from Anda, one of Spoonflower’s many amazing designers.  We love a rainbow nursery.

JB had a nap on it the other day, and I think it was her best nap to date.

Nursery Gallery Wall

Surprise! surprise! I made a kick-ass gallery wall in June’s nursery. It started with an afternoon spent perusing Society 6’s posters, and then a whole month of fiddling with art, frames and command velcro strips.

Check out the last gallery wall I put together using Command’s Velcro Strips.

Rainbow Painted Door

Don’t forget my DIY Rainbow door! It’s still there, and it’s adorable, and it’s a lovely surprise that reveals itself when she’s settling down for a nap or going to sleep. It’s also one of the first things she sees when she wakes up. We love a rainbow nursery. From literal rainbows, to every single colour IN the rainbow.

Baby Change Table

    June has THE COOLEST room. The changing station mobile is the coolest mobile I’ve seen and that crib is making me want an excuse to do a nursery again. The bow knobs are so adorable. I love them. And the cheshire cat print! Big fan of that print.

    Hi! I followed a link to your blog from Nancy at ARtsy Chicks RULE. Your nursery is sooo cute! I love the color of the dresser (with the darling bow pulls.) Did you paint it or purchase it that way? If you painted it, could you share the color, please? If not, do you have a link? Thanks for the info. Congratulations on a great job!

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
