The girls’ room is finally finished! Currently, it’s the only room in the house that I can say that about and it probably will be for a long time. On Sunday, we finally managed to finish putting everything on the walls. It is now totally ready for babies and the only room in my house ready for photographs!
We picked the theme before we knew we were having two girls and I am glad that we didn’t decide to do a girly, pink theme. That just isn’t my style. We actually had a lot of the room completed at the old house — walls painted, pictures hung, etc. but it’s taken us until now to totally finish the nursery here – maybe that’s why the babies haven’t arrived yet! The room is a zoo animal theme and the main colors are yellow, orange, and green. The walls are yellow and I tried to use orange and green accents wherever possible.
For me, a room isn’t finished until the details are complete.
The glider is the same one we used with Bo. It’s just been in the girls’ room instead of his room since the move. In this picture you can see the cute giraffe lamp
, giraffe hamper
, and monkey ZooWallogy wall pop
.
All of the girls’ furniture is from Rooms 4 Kids in Arlington Heights. The beds convert to toddler beds and full size beds, so this furniture should last them until college. (Fingers crossed!) This picture is of the hutch/changing station. We’ll easily be able to remove the changing pad and this will be one of the girl’s dressers when they move to their own rooms. There is also an upright chest that matches their furniture sets that will go in the other girl’s room when they are older. It’s currently being used by my mom in her “guest room.”
Anna’s crib is between the door and the closet. The rooms in our new house aren’t as big as I would like and trying to fit two cribs in one room was quite the challenge. However, it works. The bumpers are these animal themed ones from Land of Nod (I just love everything from Land of Nod. I really want these rugs in orange and green and the multicolored polka changing pad cover — but I haven’t been able to convince myself they are worth the cost). Each girl has two sets of sheets — one with zoo animals
and another with multicolored polka dots. The name decals are rub-ons from Uppercase Living that can be removed when the girls are older.
Here is the girls’ closet. We originally had their large dresser in the closet, but it was just too big. The small chest that is in the closet matches Bo’s nursery furniture but isn’t something he currently uses. As you can tell, we have been collecting clothing and we have plenty of newborn sleepers but I will be needing more sleepers in sizes 3-6 month, 6-9 month, and 9-12 month. At this point I’ve purchased very few “real” clothes for them. I figure they’ll be in sleepers for awhile!
This is just the corner where the closet is located. Many of my frog stuffed animals are in the basket and the stuffed turtle pillow and a few little toys are on the floor. Bo loves to throw all of the animals out of the basket. Hopefully the animals and toys will keep him entertained during a few nursing sessions.
This is the view from the doorway of the room and you can see Clara’s crib. Both girl’s have mobiles in a zoo animal theme
but they are slightly different
. You can also see the giraffe Zoowallogy wall pop

We had them cleaned and re-framed for the girls. You’ll also notice the diaper champ
, the animals in the top of the lighted hutch from Chasing Fireflies, the twin themed picture frame (that will eventually hold a picture of the girls), and the beautiful keepsake boxes. Both the boxes and the frame are from Aunt Manny.

I love all of the little details and I’m excited to bring the girl’s home to their new room. Now, if I could just get on the ball and finish the rest of the house…

Looks nice–Good Job
Now I have a question–Because they are twins, will you be allowing them to sleep together (in the same bed) for at least a few months?
I have heard this is good for twins.
What a gorgeous room! You guys did a great job with it.
Very cute!
Looks like you are ready! There is so much thought that goes into the room. I think it looks really nice!

Wow-I am super impressed. My twins' room resembles Alcatraz compared to yours. They are lucky to have such a detail-oriented mommy.
And I totally want those wall pops, so I'm going to go register!
I LOVE the wall paint color… do you mind sharing the brand/color?
Oh I love the furniture – especially the hutch. (Do you call it a hutch?) Beautiful.
I also love that big window with teh wooden panes.
Your girls are gonna LOVE their room!
The girls' room looks awesome! You are amazing for getting this done so quick!
I especially love the dark furniture aaginst the yellow walls. You pulled off a cute, but classy decor!
You are so smart to have both cribs up and ready. We only did one and they are already waking each other up. Now we cannot get another crib fast enough.
