Penelope's Nursery

Penelope's Room... Something I never thought I'd have a chance to do. I've been told since I got engaged that I'd only have boys - it's the Barrick way! I was happily content with that fact, until we got pregnant the second time around. I've secretly (but maybe not so secretly) always wanted a boy and a girl. A big brother to protect his little sister. A little girl to soften her daddy and brother's hearts. See? Perfect. I'm thankful that God thought so, too.

Anyway, I was absolutely elated to be able to decorate a little girl's room. Despite my love for frilly and very girlish things, I wanted her nursery to be a little more understated and not so "in your face." Delicate, sweet, pretty. Overwhelmed by what I was finding in Pinterest, I just decided to procure things as I saw them and eventually, my eyes migrated to a specific color or "feel" and I was happy on how it came along.

I love how it came together and it fits sweet Penelope perfectly. Her room has the best light in the whole house, so I think she really enjoys spending time in there! What a good baby she is, and I'm so happy to be able to share these pictures with you!
