Our Little Tribe: My Twin Girl Nursery- Tiffany

Before I even knew if we were having a girl or boy and before we discovered we were having twins, I had a vision for what I wanted the nursery to look like. The one inspiration that kept coming to mind was my Native American heritage and how I could incorporate that into a dream nursery. I never expected that I would love it so much that I would find myself randomly walking into it just to admire what it became.

The planning got real when we finally found out at just over 18 weeks that we were having identical twin girls. No more was I divided between color schemes and choosing masculine or feminine design elements. I laid awake for hours each night imagining what I wanted this room to look like, how the layout would work with two cribs and of course pinning and online shopping till no end.

I kept with the original theme and decided the color scheme would be lavender, mint, gold with whites and creams. While I wanted it to express my heritage, I also wanted to convey this inspiration in a girly way. I started looking everywhere on the internet for the elements that I was envisioning. From there, everything just started coming together.

We started with tearing out the carpet to lay a laminate flooring. Then chose a simple cream paint color without a yellow undertone. We then changed the hardware on the closets to coordinate with the gold in the scheme and added some major closet organization. I think being organized with two babies was one of the things I stressed most about during this planning process.

For the cribs, I chose a simple modern style crib by Babyletto. For the crib bedding, I knew that I wanted my husband's grandmother to make them quilts that they can have as a keepsake. I was having trouble finding fabrics at local stores and online that fit what I was picturing. I decided to work with a designer on Spoonflower to make fabrics that went along with the overall vision.

For the other furniture, we repurposed my old baby dresser and added decorative wood elements with new hardware and we also did a DIY side table that would fit into the space. We purchased our rocker/glider from Pottery Barn after trying out multiple others and decided on this one because the size would allow me to feed both babies comfortably at once.

The triangle painted wall was done entirely by my husband and took him over 60 total hours for him to complete by hand. It goes without saying that we are all lucky to have him and his handiness;)

Other touches of artwork and handmade elements make up the rest of the room to complete the vision!
