Before & After: Twin’s Nursery Revealed!

I finally had the opportunity to photograph Beckham & Stella’s nursery last weekend….it’s about time…I only announced this project 8 1/2 months ago 
I have to say, this nursery was not an easy project for me….gender neutral can be quite a challenge….I seemed to want to go all the way feminine or all the way masculine. I am already an indecisive person, but throw pregnancy into the mix and I can take indecisive to a whole new level. Remember all of those fabric combinations that I posted about? As I’ve mentioned, I opted out of all of them! In fact, the only plan that I didn’t deviate from was the furniture plan, which I am very pleased with:
Anyhow…if you are new to this blog, or haven’t seen the room when it was in it’s sorry excuse for a “man cave” state, check it out HERE.
As a reminder, here are a few before pics of the space:
Good God….I can’t even look at those pictures without cringing.
Anyways, here is the nursery today!
The biggest expense were the built-ins on the former tv wall as well as the extended closet. As you’ll notice in the 3rd “before” picture, there was a lovely treadmill in a niched corner of the room, which was adjacent to the former closet. We opted to extend the former closet into that niche which gave us twice the closet space.
The drawer space that the built-ins offer have been a life saver!
I had a blast accessorizing all of the shelves, but quickly realized that I need to order some 8×10′s of the kids…the only 8×10′s I had available are of my husband and I.
One of my favorite items in the nursery is this Somewhere Over the Rainbow verse… I found it on Etsy and had to have it as it’s the song that I walked down the isle to when we got married.
And a big thanks to my Mom for helping me bring the nursery together and getting it organized while I was on hospital bed rest.
***All safety precautions have been put into place in this nursery and all window treatments are cordless.***

LOVE the nursery! Great job! Could you tell me who did your built ins? We are looking to do something similar in our family room and we live in Dallas, so I’d love a recommendation! Thanks!
Magen
I love it Emily, classic and beautiful, as always. What lucky little babies
Catherine
I am speechless!!!! But it doesn’t surprise me that you created the most amazing nursery for your twins. So incredibly beautiful.

This nursery is beyond amaze-balls gorgeous!!! The colors are so soothing, and the fabric is just perfection. I’m so loving the furniture arrangement with the two chairs. I never would have thought of that set up! Definitely saving this to Pinterest for when I get around to our next nursery

Wow…that is prettiest baby room I’ve ever seen, and I love that it is gender neutral. Usually baby rooms always look the same to me with the normal common colors, but this one is out of a decorating magazine! Love it!

Kelly
Where did you find the chairs? Are they gliders?
Leah
Serene and elegant. Where did you get that mirrored side table? Thanks!
Heather
I just ordered the same exact one from Target.com – free shipping and 15% made it around $85!
Laura
The nursery is stunning! Where did you find the mirrored picture frames in the built in? I have the perfect spot for them! Thank you.
karah
GORGEOUS. you did an amazing job with so many pretty details! made with love, i can tell!
Hannah
Hi, this is beautiful! Where are the chairs from? I would love to have some like those…
Crystal
Popping over from hisugarplum! The nursery is so beautiful! I love your furniture placement and how soothing the space looks. Great job!
Julia
I am so in love with this nursery. It’s beautiful, for starters. But as a mom of two under two, I can attest to just how calm and functional this space is. Which ultimately trumps all. The dual chairs and the cabinet are brilliant! Seriously! I haven’t been to your blog in a while and I am so glad I found it again this morning!
Mindy
came from a thoughtful place to see the before. and WOW what a transformation!!!
Becca
You did a beautiful job! That was a great use of space- I would have been totally lost with a narrow rectangular room needing to house two babies!!

Jennifer @ Dimples and Tangles
So pretty, Emily! Congratulations on those sweet babies. Would love to know a source for your drapes. I’m days away from painting my master Comfort Gray and love how yours turned out!
Maggie
It’s a stunning and gorgeous room!! if only babies stayed newborns forever…what will this room be transformed into once they get past the newborn stage and into full-throttle toddlers with toys everywhere?!
Jessica @ StayatHomeista
I love it! Just FB’ed it, since I’m probably not going to have twins (3 under 5 are keeping my busy right now) and this would be my dream twins nursery!
Krista
Absolutely beautiful! Where did you find the picture frames!

Debbie
Girl if this is what you can do in an indecisive and pregnant state……..I WANT TO BE INDECISIVE AND PREGNANT…..this room is INCREDIBLE…..and then the most precious creation – Beckham and Stella….BEAUTIFUL! Enjoy every minute it passes quickly!:)
Toya
Can I just say I love, love, love everything about the nursery. it is beautiful you ladies did a great job!!!
Kallee
You’ve created such and beautiful space for your babies. Would you mind sharing where you purchased your two chairs and ottomans? Love it!
Lacy
Where did you get the curtans? This room is beautiful! I love the soothing colors for baby.
Katie McCarty
GORGEOUS!!! What a beautiful nursery!
Cindy
Love those chevron pillows, they really give a focal point to the room.
Sarah
This takes my breath away. What I REALLY love, being the mom of an ever-growing girl, is that I can picture moving out the crib(s) and putting a bed–the room would work for a newborn, toddler, tween, tween, guest room….and it would always work. Beautiful!
Kelsey
This is seriously gorgeous!!!! I know this might be a silly question, but are those real or fake flowers? I LOVE the look, but don’t think I could afford new flowers each week. Also where did you get your vases? I LOVE this room!
Emily Hewett
Yes, the flowers are real, but I don’t plan on replenishing them as they were only for the photo shoot.
Most of the vases were random HomeGoods finds.
Kerri
Hi Emily- I love the curtains, pb is selling something similar right now but they have grommet tops and I like them better without. Would you be willing to share where you purchased them?
Kerri
Emily Hewett
I actually bought them at West Elm, and they did have grommet tops. I just cut off the grommets when shortening the drapes…so essentially I hemmed the drapes from the top instead of from the bottom.
Rebecca Jensen
Lovely room! I was wondering what crib bedding you used?
GlamorousMommy
Wow, this is so beautiful, I love it!! You did an incredible job piecing everything together! Your babies are very lucky to have such a beautiful room to rest their heads

Do you have a close up of you baby bedding? Did you sew it yourself? I am having a hard time finding bedding to coordinate with these colors
Emily Hewett
It is custom, but I didn’t sew it myself…
Kat
Beautiful! What color and brand of paint do you have on the walls?
Emily Hewett
SW Comfort Grey

You created a peaceful retreat for parents to enjoy spending time with their children, decorated to an adult’s taste not necessarily a child’s. A rule more designers should follow. Beautiful job.
Dana
I LOVE what you did! I too just found out I am having twins and was wondering who made the cribs??
Emily Hewett
Thanks! I bought them off of Amazon. They are the Jenny Lind…
Mindy
Where did you get the chandelier, so hard to find golds that till look modern.

Hi there absolutely stunning nursery!! Do you mind if I ask where those gorgeous mirrored photo frames on the built in displaying your photos are on? I love the frames!
Emily Hewett
Thank you…they are from ZGallerie
Amy
Where did you find your bumper fabric? Im having the hardest time finding a color that matches the chevron. Thank you so much!
