After having THREE boys in a row, I wanted a completely feminine nursery for our new baby girl. So naturally I chose pink (in all shades) as the main accent color. I had two challenges with this nursery: 1) We are currently renting our home so I could not change the wall color or put too many holes in the walls, and 2) My husband just finished 12 years of university (ahhh, student loans) so my budget was a bit limited. Luckily the wall color was already a neutral grey which works with the colors of the room, and I only made one significant hole in the wall (for the mirror). The wall gallery frames are plastic (although they look like wood) and are really lightweight, as are the other wall decor items, so I was able to hang everything with straight pins and 3M Command Strips. As far as budget goes, we already had the crib and dresser with the mirror attached so that helped a lot, and I love DIY projects and shopping for good deals so the rest of the room came together without having to spend a fortune. My two splurges were the chandelier and the glider-rocker, which were fairly reasonalbly priced anyways.

      Beautiful! I know you got the ottoman at TJ Maxx…. Could you tell me the brand or manufacturer? I LOVE it!

      Leslie I’m so sorry I’ve had the ottaman for about two years and I don’t remember who the manufacturer is. I removed the labels so there isn’t anything on it indicating who made it. Wish I could have helped. :(

      Janna I’m not sure. Probably. I think Homesense might be owned by the same company as TJ Maxx and Marshall’s so they probalby have some of the same manufacturers items. Stores like that are so random though– you never know what you’ll find (which can be either really fun or really annoying).

      Kathy we’re renting so I didn’t know the paint color off the top of my head but I did just find out the paint color today. It is General Paint Silver Shimmer (8771W) and Metal Shavings (8775D). It’s a really true gray color.

      I’m wondering how you were able to order the glider chair from Target.com – I see you are in Canada (as am I) and the Target website says they won’t deliver to Canada. Did you go to the States to pick it up?

      I was hoping to find out if you blended these two paint colors together [General Paint Silver Shimmer (8771W) and Metal Shavings (8775D)], as asked below a few times, or if one of these colors was the wall color, and the other the ceiling or an accent wall color? It seems that you probably blended the two, but I was hoping to find out for sure. Thanks so much! :)

      I know this has been asked a few times, did you mix the two paint colours together to achieve the wall colour?
      Many Thanks

      We did the rugs for our nursery. You get a latch hook backing, then cut fabric of your choice in 1inch by 4 inches and just pull them through the holes.You don’t have to fill every hole. Its easy but it takes a lot of time.

      The long white dresser was made in Canada. I bought the -identical -one when our little girl was born in 1968. When she was 2 we bought her the white double canopy bed. When she went to high school, we bought her the matching desk.When her little girl, our granddaughter was born, ( she is now 11 ) it was all passed on to her, except the canopy bed…which is in the guest bedroom. Yes the handles are brass colour, the silver looks great. What a beautiful room. I love pink and white for a little girls room.

      No, the darker color is behind the crib and the lighter color is on the remainder of the walls.

      Thanks for the info!! I was wondering how old the dresser and nightstand are. They are so sturdy and in fantastic shape for their age! I absolutely love them.
