DIY Nursery

• Child's Name: Miles Robert Burkett
• Child's Age: 4 weeks
• Location: N. Charleston, SC
• Description: This nursery was an absolute work of love by my mom. She is a DIY queen and the result is a room that is completely DIY, hand-me-down or re-purposed. The only thing bought was the bookshelf.
• Design Inspiration: The inspiration for this nursery were a couple of really neat fabrics I bought for the bedding/drapes/rug. Everything else was derived from those colors/style.
• Decorating Style: Non "themey", homemade, sweet, classic
• Project Details:
  • Paint - Glidden "Softest Juniper"
  • DECOR:
  • Bedding, drapes and rug - Custom sewn by mom
  • Moroccan Ottoman - Idea/pattern found on http://www.examiner.com/how-to-home-design-in-new-york/decor-101-how-can-i-make-a-diy-moroccan-pouf

• Favorite Items: Oh my goodness, that's like choosing a favorite child. Can we make it a tie between the bird mobile, all the custom bedding and Moroccan pouf?!
• Advice: Definitely invest in some good fabric and then base everything off of that.
