I'm 28 years old and live in Honolulu, HI, expecting my first child, a boy, in early October.

Liam’s Colorful Chevron Nursery

I really wanted Liam to have a fun room. I am a big fan of bright colors, and wanted to incorporate especially a lot of yellow and red. I love, love, love crafting, so there’s a lot in here that I just made/repurposed/designed myself. I didn’t really have a specific ‘budget’, just that I wanted to be as thrifty as possible here. (Having a baby gets expensive, after all! I wanted to make our dollars stretch!) By learning a few new skills–aka picking up sewing for the first time in my life, scouring Craigslist endlessly, thrifting, & shopping at discount stores (Ross, TJ Maxx, etc.) and Amazon, I was able to put this entire room together for under $500 It definitely took a lot more time/work than just buying all brand-new, fancy things, but to me it was a labor of love + it’s more unique and more my style.
