Olive’s DIY Vintage Inspired Nursery

Child's Name: Olive
Child's Age: 6 Weeks
Location: Henderson, Nevada
Description:
We're so proud of the nursery we put together for our first child, a baby girl named Olive, who we welcomed to this world on December 1st. Like many others we wanted her room to grow with her & not make it too "baby". We also incorporated used pieces and DIY projects to keep the overall cost low.
Design Inspiration:
I started with a few basic items I knew I wanted to bring in...a white Jenny Lind crib, an old dresser I had refinished, the arrangement of pictures frames we collected to use as table numbers at our wedding, and ivory ruffled curtains. I also knew I wanted to do "greige" horizontal stripes around the room to bring in something different. The other colors weren't chosen until I went shopping at our local fabric store for her bedding.
Decorating Style:
Vintage / Shabby Chic / Whimsical

Dresser: $15 garage sale find (Anthro knobs)
Rocking chair: Hand-me-down from my aunt & uncle. Repainted pink.

Large frame above crib: Hobby Lobby

Favorite Items:
Such a hard question to answer! The whole room was such a labor of love...we spent hours painting those stripes, building the closet, sewing the bedding...that its hard to say I like something more than something else. I guess if I had to choose it would be our wall quote that I see every time I walk in her door...its so perfect. She really has brought more joy than we ever imagined to our family. And the custom design by the awesome people at WallQuotes.com was just perfect for her room.

This is a gorgeous nursery! I thought it was a designer one when I first saw it. Love the dresser and the quote on the wall is so sweet!

You have officially inspired my baby room! We won’t know if we’re having a boy / girl until February 20th, but I figured this room could be tailored to either one. You have done a beautiful job, and I’m sure Olive will love her room as she gets older! Would you mine sharing the 2 paint colors that you used, as well as the brand? Thanks!!

Love the soft, subtle, classy and delicate colors. Your little photo frames look lovely on the wall, too.

This room is adorable! I love the beauty in the simplicity of color and texture! This quiIt is beautiful and my daughter wants it so bad. Is there an actual site that tells the dimensions of this quilt and size of chevron? I would greatly appreciate any information you are willing to share with me.

Thank you so much!
