Joey Lawrence is grown up and having his second daughter! Here’s how Hot Moms Club helped the Lawrence family preparethe perfect nursery for the Aprilarrival of Liberty Grace

"Working with Joey and his wife Chandie has been so much fun," says Hot Moms Club baby planner Natalie Klein. “They wanted a nursery that was simply sweet—a place they could feel serene in the midst of caring for a new baby and juggling activities with their outgoing 4 year old, Charli.

”Preparing a nursery can be overwhelming, so Natalie suggests deciding first on a budget, and then looking online for ideas. Once you know what you want, seek out the best deals. When looking for furniture, choose a crib that converts to a toddler bed and a dresser with an added changing top—both are convenient and economical. Joey and Chandie adore the Gia Collection Crib by Sorelle.

Having a comfy chair for feeding was a big priority for Joey and Chandie, because they know how many long nights they’ll spend in it. So the Quinn glider and ottoman in Cherry Blossom from Best Chairs is one of Chandie’s favorite items: “It’s so comfortable and practical, I just love it.”

After you’ve researched some ideas, pick a general color scheme using a few shades and an accent color. If you find linens you love, buy them and create the room around them. “Chandie fell in love with the Butterfly Flowers bedding from Carter’s,” says Natalie,“From there, the ideas just flew into place.

”A mural is a wonderful way to tie a room together. If you decide to include one, go with a design that can grow with your child. Lauren Sorensen (www.laurensorensenstudio.com) hand-painted the mural for the Lawrence’s nursery. Butterflies have a special meaning in the Lawrence family, so she surprised them with friends to dance and watch over baby Libby.

Chandie explained that it was tricky coordinating the nursery this time around because she’s so busy tending to Charli, so it felt as though the time to do this came around much faster. Natalie stresses the importance of including older siblings in the nursery process, whether it's choosing the stuffed animals, or drawing pictures to be framed and hung-anything that makes them feel connected to the baby. Joey and Chandie redecorated Charli's room as well so she would feel special as they created Libby's nursery. Joey said "Charli loves to go into Libby's room and look around; it's helping her get excited about her new sister."
