Rosie's Neverland Nursery

Before we knew the gender of our little baby, Gabe and I KNEW we wanted a Neverland Nursery. I have loved the Peter Pan stories and movies since I was a child and there is something so whimsical about a world full of mermaids, pirates, lost boys and fairies! This room quickly turned into a labor of love from our friends and family that helped us pull it all together.  



 It all started when Gabe's sister Kara gave us this beautiful wall decal. "So come with me, where dreams are born and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land."

Also! Please note the book with the pirate ship on the cover. This was written and illustrated for Rosemary by our dear friends Katie and Isabelle.
 For our Story Book Land baby shower we asked people to bring childrens books instead of cards. This was how we started our beautiful childrens book collection.


Gabe and I had a blast putting this book shelf together with our friends and family's favorite books and fairytales!

My mother made this whimsy mobile for us using antique railroad keys and this fun garden planter.

The blue and green came together nicely with our sparkly GLITTER WALL! We used Valspar Paint Crystals from Lowes to create this!












 My beautiful mom also made the curtains for the room! I love how the orange ties the whole room together.

Our limited edition Peter Pan artist piece was given to us by our friend Janae from her own fancy Disney collection! We love how perfect it matches our blue and green walls.

 This is my favorite part of the whole room!!! Our friend Sara Haase created this perfect Neverland map for us. She is such a talented artist and we are honored to have her artwork in our home! 


We also have some very talented seamstresses in our world! We had custom made bedding created by our friend Sissy Hayes and the beautiful LOTR quilt (on the bed) was done by the talented Heidi Newell.






Not only do we know talented artists, but we also know some famous fairies! Tinker Bell came by our house once Rosie came home from NICU. They had a lovely afternoon together playing in Rosie's Neverland Nursery.
I love how the room has come together and it's now my favorite place in the house! I hope our little girl grows up with the drive to imagine and dream! (And I hope her nursery had a little to do with it.)
