We used this room as a storage space, office for my husband and occasional guest room for my little brother before the baby. The condo is 2000 sq ft, but only a two bedroom. We needed this room to be a nursery, playroom and space for mom to work on her crafts.
The Murphy bed and the couch were already in the room. The biggest expense in the space was adding custom cabinets (http://www.morespaceplace.com/) on either side of the Murphy bed to give us lots of storage space. If the baby is up screaming and my husband needs to sleep, I just sleep on the Murphy bed in the baby's room so I can do the late night feedings and changing without disturbing my husband.
We wanted the couch moved out, but after finding out how expensive it was to move it and buy a new one, we just made it work. I actually like having the couch instead of a glider because my husband and I can comfortably hang out in the room together with the baby. The slipcovers wash really nicely so any spills will be a breeze to clean up.
The crib is from Bratt Decor (http://www.brattdecor.com/). I loved the classic look of the crib and think it will work for either a boy or a girl. He isn't sleeping in it yet, so I have been just keeping stuff in it until he moves out of the bassinet. I have a crib skirt, but it looks so short right now. The "skirt" that is on there now is just two tablecloths that I had and looks fine to me!
The changing table is from Art for Kids (http://www.artforkids.net/). The tray is easily removed and can be used elsewhere in the house if I don't need it in the baby's room anymore. The gold trim went well with the crib and the wood blinds, which were already in the room when we bought the condo.
I started the room with the rug from Rosenberry Rooms (http://www.rosenberryrooms.com/). The compass went with the theme but could grow with the baby for a few years.
The desk was really important for me because I needed a place to have my "stuff" in the house. It is from the Martha Stewart Collection at Home Depot (http://www.homedecorators.com/). I like the desk and it was affordable, but my husband says the assembly took hours. I spend a lot of time on the couch feeding the baby, so I really appreciate having the TV above the desk too.
I did a little DIY in the room. The crib skirt pictured is made from tablecloths I had, as I noted above. I used my embroidery machine to make the anchor on the shower curtain (and he has lots of matching burp cloths). I made some of the pillows and the window seats from fabric from Jo-Ann. The photo frames behind the crib were $1 each at Goodwill and i just went to Archivers to make the gold fish and buy the blue paper.
