Once upon a time a baby was born and because the gender was to be a secret the nursery was decorated in neutral colours - red, black and white. Then the baby was born and it was a girl! Then as time went by, pink (a lot of pink) was introduced into their lives however the Nursery stayed the same. The room became a bit overrun with toys, books, more toys, more books and general baby stuff. Then one day Sweetie Pie came along, a wall art sticker from Stuck on You. Sweetie Pie decided her and Lily would like it better in a little girls room so it was decided a little girls room they would have.
Here is an overview of the room before we started....
THE BABY NURSERY
DAY ONE....Changing the Wall Decal - Meet Sweetie Pie
Here is the wall art application - the process was super easy!
It took me about 20 mins to apply the whole scene and what was great about the process was, that if you didn't quite like the position you could just peel it off and start again!
One little Sweetie Pie came along....

| (Check out my levelling line! It's very hi tech I tell you!) |
Then some other little Sweetie Pie's came along
Then it was a party!
I really wanted to keep the original tree as its quite special, in that it was one of the things I remember from the time of decorating our little nursery and I felt really sad thinking about taking it down ..so I tied in the two decals together....
Lily also has a thing about bees - it all stems from the Bee Movie which she LOVES, really really LOVES. So I added some bees to hang out with the butterflies.
So here was the BEFORE....
And here is the AFTER.......
It is a super easy process to order, you get to choose and preview your design before ordering. There are lots of designs to choose from!
DAY TWO...Sweetie Pie said how about a book nook?
BEFORE.....
AFTER......
 |
I added a blow up chair, cute cushions, some spice racks to hold books and a message to 'read'.
|
DAY THREE...Sweetie Pie said how about updating those other walls?
BEFORE....
AFTER......
 |
| So I changed her fabric photo board, put up a dressing gown rack, put a height chart on the side of her bookshelf and popped up some bunting! |
DAY FOUR....Sweetie Pie said how about tidying up some of those toys?
BEFORE.........
AFTER.........
 |
| Tidying toys - this is where it got serious! I grabbed some storage bins from the warehouse and popped her toys in those under her bed (which she found quick smart). |
DAY FIVE....Sweetie Pie said how about updating the bookshelves?
BEFORE..........
AFTER..........
 |
| Updated the bookshelves with some coloured hangers, fabric storage box changes and some of Lily's favourite things. |
DAY SIX...Sweetie Pie said how about some lighting changes?
 |
| The lightshade cover is actually a tutu skirt from one of the dollar stores - it has an elastic band which fitted right over the lightshade - super cute! |
 |
| And this cute little flower lamp will provide some light when reading to Lily at night before bed. |
THE RESULT....
So what did Lily think about Sweetie Pie and her room makeover?
She loves her new 'stickies' and quite often I hear her talking to them when she is supposed to be asleep. The whole room is so much lighter and seems so much bigger with the light colours. Lily also spends more time in there which didn't really happen before so that's been a win!

and some of her other faves, the lanterns and the book nook.
