Canaan's Nursery

To say that I have had fun planning and decorating Canaan's nursery would be a major understatement.  The first purchase I made was this bedding set, at a consignment sale last spring.  This Pottery Barn set was a super deal and I thought the vintage airplanes on the dust ruffle were just precious.  I was also drawn to the bright colors.  Now came the fun part of pulling the rest of the room together!

The canvas painting and hanging airplane were both found at consignment stores in Bowling Green. 

This is the same changing table we used in Hadley's nursery.  We painted it the shade of blue from the crib set.  I painted the cross and need to get Canaan's initials written in the center.

I thought the trunks were a nice accessory since airplanes are in the whole transportation theme.  I spray painted the lantern red.  I really loved using some pops of red in his nursery.  I said I was drawn to bright colors this time, didn't I?

 

















This dresser was also used in Hadley's nursery.  I ordered the airplane message board from etsy and placed Canaan's ultrasound pics on it.  The lamp is a Ball jar filled with multi-colored marbles. Justin used it in his room as a child.

So my parents technically got this wagon for Hadley for Christmas, but I thought it was a cuper cute decoration for Canaan's room.  Hadley knows it is hers and she can play with it anytime she would like.  Curious George and Ernie are two momentos from Justin's childhood that also made it into a basket of toys.

The rocking chair was also from Hadley's nursery.  I found this minky dot fabric, which was a perfect match, and had the chair recovered.  Grandaddy Hughes made the book rack on the wall, and it is super special to me.  I hope Canaan likes to read as much as Hadley does.

Finally, my most recent touch in Canaan's room are the letters spelling his name.  I told you that I loved pops of red, didn't I?  I hope baby Canaan feels at home in his room.  I certainly had him in mind the whole time I was planning it.  And I guess that's all that really matters!
