TAYLOR PILK: restoration hardware

I. AM. SO. EXCITED!!!!!! We will FINALLY get to start packing up and moving into our home on January 31st - Less than a week away! Believe it or not, it has been exactly TWO years today (Jan. 25th) that we started the whole building process.

The past 2 years seem like a blur but thanks to having a baby, this last year has FLOWN by.... Thank y'all for putting up with my nonstop picture updates - Needless to say, we are way too excited for this!

I am even more excited to dive in and start decorating! This will basically be our very first home that I can customize COMPLETELY. I will definitely do posts about each room as we go along.. I plan to take it slow and try to tackle one room at a time. I also want to address the previous blog I did about Penelope's nursery... At the time, I had this vision of beautiful creamy-whites and a splash of grey here and there but when I went to buy all of the stuff (and thanks to Pinterest) I quickly realized that I may not have another baby girl and this could be my only shot at having all of the pink and pretty colors that I could imagine, SOO, I decided to go with all kinds of glam for her room. I bought all of her furniture and bedding from Restoration Hardware and I am REALLY happy with the quality of absolutely everything.

We purchased the Adele Crib, along with the Velvet bedding collection in the color DOVE. We painted her room in Melted Ice Cream by Benjamin Moore and the trim & crown molding were painted in Vanilla Milkshake by Benjamin Moore as well. I plan on adding soft-white, sheer curtains to the window and I HOPE that I'll come across the perfect amour when we go furniture shopping within the next few weeks in order to complete the entire space.
Here is everything we have so far, hopefully next week I'll be able to do an updated room blog once it's all complete.

This whole process has been so bittersweet because we never set up a real nursery due to us building the house but I'm looking at this with the glass half-full and I'm actually so happy that I had the extra time to decide on colors and was able to pick the perfect furniture to fulfill all of my ideas.

I can't wait to watch the transformation her room will undergo throughout the years... But

one step at a time because I'm definitely needing all the time possible to fully absorb every single stage! XO

When it comes to my personal style, I like plain and simple, nudes, neutrals and stark white with black being the perfect base color and it should come as no surprise that our house decor would end up the same way..... Typical fashion meeting decor!

The goal for just about every room in our home is for it to be BRIGHT and sunny and that weighed heavily when designing Penelope's room. We're going with whites, creams and having some pink thrown in here or there to make the room crisp, clean, relaxing and vibrant all while being girly but not too dramatic.
When deciding where to start looking at decor and furniture for Penelope's nursery, it was either between Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn and I ended up going with PB as their stuff isn’t as “modern” but more chic and definitely a perfect fit for a little girl!
