Baby Gifford: Emma's Nursery

Yes, we have finally chosen a first name! Our baby girl's name will be Emma (and yes, I got that name from Ross and Rachel's baby on Friends). We still haven't figured out the middle name yet, so if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to let us know!

Last weekend, my parents came down for a visit. We went to my new favorite baby store, Buy Buy Baby. It is kinda like an upper scale Babies R Us. Alex and I picked out this crib and dresser for Emma. My parents graciously bought both the crib and dresser for her, THANK YOU MOM AND DAD! :) We love that it isn't the typical crib color, it is kinda like a vintage gray color. Oh, and it is a convertible crib, so it will turn into a toddler and full size bed so she can grow into it.

When deciding on the color/theme for Emma's room I didn't know where to start. I knew I didn't want anything pink, it is so overrated!!! This may seem weird, but I actually got the inspiration for the colors from a gift bag wall in Target. I absolutely love it, and I hope she will too. The room colors are going to be coral, navy blue, and tan/ivory.

About a year ago, I started learning how to sew (on a sewing machine). I am getting better with each and every project. I thought I would give a shot at making Emma's crib bumper since I couldn't find any coral and navy blue ones online. It actually wasn't too hard, and it only cost me $35!

Lucky is already jealous and trying to take over Emma's space already :D
(Oh, and my house is a mess! We can't set up the crib/dresser until our other house is done being built) :(

One last project I completed this weekend was wrapped letters to go over Emma's crib. I got a similar idea from Pinterest, but this is what I came up with. I got the supplies at Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's Craft Store.
