ForJenna Dewan, the nesting period is a family affair.
The star — who says she’s “feeling pretty good” in the final weeks of her pregnancy — takes PEOPLE inside the serene new nursery she created in collaboration withfiancéSteve Kazeeand her 6½-year-old daughterEverly.
The actress, 39, and the Tony Award-winner, 44,announced their engagementon Instagram Tuesday, sharing a photo of the couple sharing a kiss.
“We wanted a calm, neutral, chic and peaceful feeling to the nursery,” Dewan tells PEOPLE. “Loved the white, gray and black palette with touches of whimsical gold and playful animal icons.”
One of the most important aspects of the nursery for theFlirty Dancinghost was the Pottery Barn Kids‘ line ofGREENGUARD-certified nontoxic products, which are screened for thousands of chemicals to help create a less-polluted environment for newborns.
“When you’re pregnant, youchange so much about what you eatand what products you use,” Dewan tells PEOPLE. “To know all that care is going to continue with our newborn breathing cleaner air and having clean, organic fabrics is such a nice relief as a parent.”

It wasn’t only health-conscious elements at the top of the actress and dancer’s list — she had one motherly must-have for her nursery.
Having settled on a “woodsy, organic, enchanted forest” theme for the nursery, Dewan says finalizing the space was a “joint effort,” with Everly (whom she shares with ex-husbandChanning Tatum) taking initiative.
“She helped me organize everything in the nursery: the clothes, stuffed animals, beanbag chairs,” says theGracefully Youauthor. “She likes being in charge and is a little helper.”
Kazee also pitched in, of course (“He has great style and was more on top of the Pinterest board than I was!” jokes Dewan), as heprepares for his first child tomake his or her arrival.
In December, the couplemoved their family to anew home in Los Angeles, where they worked todesign the living spaceto blend both Dewan and the Tony winner’s personal styles.
“Steve likes a more minimalistic look and has amazing taste,” theStep Upstar previously said of building their home together. “I tend to go more feminine and mystical in my tastes, but we easily found a happy medium.”
