Hello! How is everyone doing so far this week? I had a rough go at it yesterday with 5 hours of annoying “practice” contractions…ugh. Wiped me out. Luckily, I rented a wide angle lens that morning and did the nursery photo-shoot before my uterus decided to do a workout. As promised…here is Claire’s room…
As many of you know, this room is inspired by my recent trip to Paris. I have incorporated French antiques, sweet French bunnies and a color palette of soft petal pink, ivory and shades of French gray. My dear hubby built the cornice box above the crib and installed sheer panels for the canopy. The walls are painted “Atlantic Winter” by Miller Paint.
I added touches of wrought iron since you see so much of it in Paris and it contrasts nicely with all the light tones. The iron crystal lantern is from Pottery Barn and the vintage candle sconces I got from this Etsy shop.
I found this beautiful, antique French print at a local antique store. She looks so elegant in a white and gold vintage frame…
Creating these digital collages for the room was an absolute blast! I got them printed on canvas and up they went. The translation is “I love Paris in the Springtime, when hope blooms.” 
And of course, I had to have a photo of big sis up on Claire’s shelves…
Okay…well there you have it. The room is all ready for Baby Claire…now we just have to see when she arrives.
I will probably be taking a break from the blog for a little while…not sure when exactly but if I suddenly disappear for a bit – you will know why! I promise I won’t be too long and you know I’m gonna be all over an attempt at newborn photography!
Thank you for your continued love, support and encouragement!

Hello Ivy,
I just subscribed to your beautiful blog! And I totally love your blog.
I totally love babies and nurseries. (I have 6 babies – no not all at once.) It grew on us. ranging from 1 till 15!
I love Claire’s room. I am in love with the gorgeous chandelier above her crib.
And I have that dresser!
Only yours looks a lot better. Time to paint I guess!
You did a lovely job on her room Ivy. Now I can’t wait to see your little one when it arrives.
Be well, and take care… those practice contractions are a wonderful sign to prep you!
Love
Sandy

Lots of work but so peaceful – rest and enjoy!
That looks absolutly stunning. I know how you feel with the “practice contractions” I am going through the same thing, some times I think “this is it, it has to be” then nothing. I wish you all the best and hope that baby claire arrives soon and safely.
Claire’s room is absolutely stunning. You and your husband did an amazing job, and I love the cornice board and chandelier.
Oh Ivy,
Your nursery is nothing short of magical. LOVE it all!
Hugs,
Judy
What a beautiful room. Well done!!! And good luck with the arrival of baby Claire.

Where did u find this rug? Beautiful nursery!
Hi Terry. Thanks so much. I found the rug at Pottery Barn. It was a in store display item and it has since been discontinued. :( Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. I greatly appreciate it. xo. Ivy
Who is the crib by? I just love it
Thanks so much. I’m actually not sure. I got it at Babies R Us. Thanks for visiting the blog. :)
Congratulations.
Me and my wife look for inspiration to Clair’s room to create our Louise’s room, our daughter who will born in May.
Where can I find the two frames with the balloon and the girl? Did you create them?
Hugs from Brazil,
