Nora's Nursery « Project Nursery

A Project For: Nora
Age: 3 months
Location: Utah
Description:
This whole process was entertaining & definitely filled my pregnant days with a lot of projects to pass the time. I wanted to create a space that was bright/inviting and colorful. Rather than limiting myself to a certain color scheme, I implemented a variety of colors.
Design Inspiration:
One of my first projects was the yellow dresser. After I completed that, I let my mind flow from there!
Decorating Style:
vintage...contemporary
Project Details:
My main goal in creating this little haven for Nora was to be queen of DIY and be very thrifty. Considering our budget, I had to be creative. Some of my favorite projects.....
-Frames above crib= $5, purchased at local thrift store & spray painted silver
-Dresser= FREE!(given to me by my sister) repainted yellow=$10 and new knobs=$35
-Bedding=$45, fabric found at hawthornethreads.com
-Rocking Chair=FREE! (lovely sister once again) Fabric for cushions=$10 @ fabric.com
-Owl & Girrafe on bookshelf= $5 for fabric
Favorite Items:
My favorite item would have to be the dresser/hutch. Brings a lot of color into the room.
Advice:
You really can create anything on a budget if you are creative and do a little research

I really like your creativity in the room. Your little Nora will feel so special in this room.

Oh my. I so love how you made all of these come together. A lot of colors, but it doesn’t look disjointed. In fact it’s one of the best vintage rooms I’ve seen on PN. SOOOO love it! But you have to tell us where you got the rug!

Looks really cute! How did you make the pink photo of Nora? In photoshop..? Looks amazing and I’d like to make something similar for my 2 girls :)
Dani

Hello! Thank you thank you!

Ken-I got the rug at Urban Outfitters. They have such fun rugs!

OcMadde-The picture of Nora is actually a water color painting copied from a photograph I took of her!

This is my favorite nursery! If I had a girl, her room would HAVE to have a yellow dresser like this.. It’s my favorite piece in the room! I’m using this room as inspiration for my son’s room! We’re on a budget and I will be doing DIY projects too!
Karen Beth Martin

I love this whole room but I’m especially smitten with that fabulous rug! I’ve looked on Urban Outfitters website and don’t see it. Could you tell me how long ago you got it? It would be PERFECT in my hallway! THANK YOU!

I love this room! beautiful work! May I ask where Nora’s lovely crib is from? Thanks!
Dani

So glad you enjoy the room!

Karen-I actually got the rug from Urban Outfitters over a year ago for our family room. Once we were expecting, I made the switch over to her room. Sorry!

Kahinkle-Nora’s crib is the “darcy” 3 in 1 from pottery barn. Best of luck!

I totally love this girl! Nora surely love this room. I love the collection of frames above her bed, I love the fabrics you used, I love the splash of colors. Vintage but not boring or stiff. Great work!!!

Love the room! The yellow dresser is the inspiration behind a similar project for my new baby boy’s room. In fact, can you tell me the brand and color name of the paint you used? Would love to use the same. Thanks!
Tiffany

Love, love your room! Where did you get your print of “you are my sunshine”? so Cute!

I adore your room!
I was wondering also how you got the “you are my sunshine” picture. I have a friend expecting soon and she loves the picture. I want to suprise her with one if you don’t mind sharing?

I’m afraid to say I no longer have the paint can & cant remember! I do know that it was from the Martha Stewart line found at home depot, hope this helps!
Dani Lamb

So sorry for the late reply, I NEVER check this. I bought the print from an etsy shop found here
