On the blog today, step inside Tilly’s magical nursery that includes two very special pieces we absolutely love from @davincibabyusa. 

One thing that’s surprised me about motherhood is how attached I’d grow to my babies’ nurseries. I underestimated not only how much time I’d spend in these spaces, but how many special memories they’d hold. When Emmet grew into his big boy room & we started to reimagine his nursery for Tilly, I thought there was no way I could ever replicate the magic. Now that it’s complete, I love Tilly’s space even more than I could have ever dreamed!

Tilly’s nursery is a blend of high & low, old & new. Cherished family treasures from my childhood & fresh additions like the charming DaVinci “Beau” crib & “Charlie” dresser, that will set the stage for countless special memories we make for years to come. DaVinci’s commitment to quality and affordability ensures that their products not only last, but also offer maximum style and function without breaking the bank, which made choosing them for Tilly’s two nursery essentials - the crib & dresser - a no-brainer. In a tiny nursery, form meets function is where the real magic happens. ✨ #davincibaby #davincibabystyle #babygirl #babyroom #babyroomdecor

Step inside Tilly’s magical nursery that includes two very special pieces we absolutely love from @davincibabyusa. ✨

Tilly’s nursery is a blend of high & low, old & new. Cherished family treasures from my childhood & fresh additions like the charming DaVinci “Beau” crib & “Charlie” dresser, that will set the stage for the countless special memories for years to come. In a tiny nursery I’ve realized that form meets function is my sweet spot, so this time I knew I was looking for a mix of pieces that were cheerful, safe, stylish, timeless & durable enough to grow alongside Tilly. 

After having a DaVinci crib for Emmet that’s as beautiful and versatile today as it was the day he was born 2.5 years ago, I knew exactly where to look for the two most important essentials for Tilly’s nursery. DaVinci’s commitment to quality and affordability ensures that their products not only last, but also offer maximum style and function without breaking the bank.

You can find all the decor sources and design details for everything you see in Tilly’s nursery (including those magical art pieces) at the link in my bio! #davincibaby #davincibabystyle #nursery #babyroom #babygirl #babyroomdecor

I still can’t believe she’s here and she’s all ours @olcartier ! Theophilia “Tilly” James, may you have your mom’s spunk & your dad’s level head. That should keep you sticking to only the good kinda trouble 😉 Let this be your sign that the baby-in-a-bucket photos are absolutely equal parts ridiculous & adorable & 100% worth the effort it takes to drag everyone out of the house 1 week postpartum 🥰 @taq.photography.llc I love you to the moon for always filling these first months with so much joy! #newbornphotography #babygirl #babyphotography #momlife #cottagestyle
