I can’t believe I’ve been dreaming up his room since March! Time has truly flown by and I’m so excited to share his sweet nursery with you. The weekend of our gender reveal we finalized his name and picked out the fabrics for his nursery! When you know, you know. My mom, aunt and cousin were in town to make dreaming up his space so much fun. I knew I wanted blues, neutrals and a tailored look with lots of monograms. Well that’s exactly how this space turned out.
I’m so lucky that my mom is so talented! She designed and hand made his drapes, bumper, dust ruffle, and pillow. My mother-in-law painted 2 oils for over his crib and I’m in love with how they turned out! We were so blessed to have two beautiful baby showers thrown for us and we received so many gifts! Our nursery wouldn’t have been possible without all of the love and support from our family and friends. Baby Brooks is already so loved! While Michael was away on his “dadchelor” party, my mom came in town to help me get everything washed and set up for his arrival!
Jolie Home – Paint
Jolie Paints reached out and wanted to help us refresh some old pieces of furniture we had for the nursery! I got to pick from their wide variety of water-based, non-toxic paints. I fell in love with the Palace White. I couldn’t believe that one can of paint and one can of wax covered two full sized dressers, a mirror, and a side table! The paint goes a long way and the best part is that you can paint right there in the same room without any fumes! Mom and I had the best time seeing these old pieces come back to life with a little Jolie TLC.

How to Polish Brass
My mom got all of the hardware looking so beautiful on these old pieces! I wanted to share how she did it! Soak all hardware in vinegar for about 30 minutes, rinse with warm water, and buff with steel wool. Voilà, your old furniture immediately comes to life with shiny polished brass.
