I kind of had to take that one back.
We simply didn't have the space to dedicate another room to Baby C (now Jordan). While I was so excited to plan a nursery for a little girl, I had a hard time seeing the navy blue paint disappear in the boys' room. I had an even harder time taking all of their things and reorganizing them to be put away.
So I designed a nursery for three. At first glance, it looks like a pretty beach nursery for a little baby girl. But if you take the time to really observe the room, you can see how Conner and Benjamin are everywhere in it. It is, after all, still their room. They just have to share :)
There is a spot in the nursery, behind the glider, where the light blue paint chipped and you can see the boys' navy blue underneath. I never did fix that, and I never intend to. I think it chipped for a reason.
So, finally, here is Jordan's nursery reveal. It only took me four and a half months to post this, hahahaha. Whoops.
Also, you can see the boys' old nursery here.

A few of these are scattered through her room from different beaches we have gone to. This one is from CocoCay, Bahamas. Picture of the beach taken in the early AM before anyone was there, sand and shells from that beach.
