The ultimate children's design resource

J’s Nursery

A Project For: JRF
Age: Due March 30, 2012
Design Inspiration:
Our first purchase for the room was an old sturdy dresser I found on Craigslist. I knew I wanted to work with the colors gray, black, and white so we painted the dresser a dark gray and added black hardware to it.
Decorating Style:
I wanted something on the more nontraditional side. A room he can grow into and I didn't want it to feel babyish.
Project Details:
-Dresser: Craigslist. Repainted and added hardware.
-Crib: Graco
-Hanging light: Urban Outfitters
-Labrador Puppy Print: Etsy seller "MisoPretty"
-Love print: Etsy seller "Wallfry"
-Toybox: Once belonged to my Mother & Aunt when they were children.

-Rug: West Elm
-Bedding: Fabric from Hawthorne Threads. Sewn by Etsy seller "BabyCribToddlerSheet"

-Curtains: Wal-Mart
-Black & White striped blanket: Fabric purchased from Hart's fabric. Sewn by my Grandma & I.

Favorite Items:
The dresser! It was such a fun project and felt great to take something old and make it new again. Plus it's one of a kind! I also think the blanket that my Grandma & I sewed is very special. A great memory!
Advice:
Keep it simple! You don't have to use traditional baby colors in your design, think outside the box and do what you love!
