Our France-Inspired Nursery

Designing Ryann Whitney’s nursery

was more fun than I ever imagined! When I found out we were having a girl, we had just moved into our dream home! It was perfect timing for a nursery make-over! I was convinced I would have boys so after unloading all of Emerson’s blue baby stuff from her room, it was time to start planning!

We wanted our love for France

and memories we made there to be the main focus of her room. I focused on French provincial decor with soft blush colors! Since we did a complete gut job on her room, I found pieces I loved and couldn’t live without first and then filled in the blanks. We tore up the carpet and baseboards and the room was transformed with white wash wood floors, wood trim on the walls, and new baseboards.

After finding furniture that I loved

from RH Baby & Child, everything came together! I hunted for the perfect wallpaper (wallpaper is back in, by the way) and the first attempt was a total miss! Thankfully, some late night searching led me to Anewall and I found the most perfect Jolie wallpaper! The colors were perfect!

Once the furniture, wallpaper, and bedding were in,

the rest of the process was super easy! I snagged the blush rug from Overstock and filled the walls with bows, French books, candles, and dried flowers from our wedding.

Lastly, we changed the standard closet organization that our home came with. This was our only DIY project and thankfully, it went well! We did shabby chic shelf brackets to dress it up a bit and cute gray knobs for the drawers! I will probably add in a few more baskets once we see what’s needed when she arrives.

    Hi! I was wondering if you remember the paint color that you used on the walls that did not have the wallpaper? LOVE this nursery!

A year before these were taken, she would swing he A year before these were taken, she would swing her head up so fast if I tried to pet her face. She thought I was going to hit her so she’d quickly throw her head up to avoid it. Slowly, she learned that I wasn’t there to hurt her. This was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had!
She rescued me in more ways than I rescued her 💕 I’m so grateful I have these forever memories captured by my sweet hubbie!
Remy Update ❤️‍🩹 Thank you for the prayer Remy Update ❤️‍🩹 Thank you for the prayers and support for Remy as always! We had so much encouragement in December when Remy did a 7 day Holter monitor on his heart. It’s not easy to get a 4 year old to wear a monitor attached to his chest 24-7 for 7 days but he did so amazing. We waited what felt like ages to hear from Dr. Brothers since it was over the holidays. Everett was next to me when the preview showed up and all we saw was, “I reviewed the heart rate monitor which was reassuring.” We both were shaking immediately. The emotions take over so quickly!! Remy’s overall results were great! He does have some PVCs (premature ventricular complexes). We will follow up in one year to make sure the frequency of them is staying low. These are very rare and are usually seen a normal heart which is interesting. So far, nothing to be concerned with! We are so grateful! Grow, Remy, grow! ❤️‍🩹

God didn’t make many of them like you and I’m so grateful you’re mine. We’ve seen so much of the world together, brought in SO many babies, celebrated on the mountains, held each other through the valleys. I always believed in fairy tales but you’ve kept ours going so strong. Thank you for being a wonderful husband and excellent father! We absolutely love you!

It’s been years since I’ve had to walk through It’s been years since I’ve had to walk through these fears and emotions. Unfortunately, I am asking for some big prayers so we can avoid the hospital. Remy has a bad cough that has come and gone and now returned. His saturations are dipping from low 90’s to high 80’s which I normally would call 911 for. I just texted his doctor and we are working hard to keep him from an ambulance ride. Please pray 🙏🏼 Thank you so much!
