Emmelyn's Colorful Nursery! « Project Nursery

A Project For: Emmelyn Alexis

Age: Due in July 2012

Location: Sacramento, Ca

Description:

We wanted Emme to have a fun, colorful room. Since we were on a tight budget, we had to get creative and shop smart. The room really came alive after adding personal DIY touches.

Design Inspiration:

Project Nursery and Pinterest gave me so many ideas! Also I like to mimic expensive looks for way less. The whole nursery cost under $500!

Decorating Style:

Bright and cheery! I try to create polished "lived in" look.

Project Details:

Crib-DaVinci from Walmart (gift from my parents)

Bedding-Carter's...I shopped around forever and finally found this set for a deal.

Dresser-found at a liquidation sale at a local baby store.

Armoire-already had from Pottery Barn.

Curtains-PB Teen on sale...got the set for $30!

Shelves-Target

Lantern Mobile-DIY...found lanterns at a variety of stores.

Art-bought cheap frames and spray painted them and added two prints from Zulily, the E is spray painted from Michael's, the silver frame I already had and we did a DIY maternity shoot and blew up one the pictures at Walgreen's, the white vintage-looking frames are from Target and the art inside are clippings from the gift bags from our baby shower, the mirror is from Target and I added stickers from Michael's, the LOVE frame I had and then I added left over fabric from the circles.

Clock-Urban Outfitters

Rug-Urban Outfitters

Circles-embroidery rings from Michael's with fabric from Hobby Lobby

Nightlight-Ikea

Favorite Items:

I'm really proud of our book display shelves. I loved the idea of using the books as art! I also love the two stuffed pugs that represent our fur babies:) The hubby will be making art for Emme after she arrives for above the armoire...I know that will become one of my favorite pieces as well.

Advice:

Shop around, when you find a good deal...jump on it! Also find a way to add personal touches. We added a picture from our wedding, used the baby shower gift bags as art, and found the stuffed pugs to rep our dogs. DIY projects really add a sense of pride and accomplishment too. AND it's fun! The projects I chose to do were actually pretty simple. You don't have to be a master crafter to make something beautiful and special for your baby's room.
