Carter’s Peaceful Haven

Decorating Carter’s nursery was a very exciting time for me.  I love to decorate and this project was so dear to my heart.  I wanted his nursery to be a place that could transition very easily.  I didn’t want anything overly trendy or “babyish”.  Yet, I wanted it to be a room that he would love as much as I do. It does have some newer trendier things but I also incorporated some refurbished and traditional items.

London’s Nursery

This is our third boy so my husband and I really wanted to do something outside the box. I didn’t want the same old color blue just because we were having a boy, and we both didn’t want anything cartoon, or sports because my oldest son already had that theme. We wanted his nursery to grow with him, especially his furniture, and we definitely made that happen. With the crib that turns into a full bed, his changing table being a desk so when he gets older he can do his homework on it. My husband is a very great handy man and did a lot of the work, like the closet, and putting the pattern on the wall. We are very happy with the way everything came out. London is now 17 months old and he loves his room. He will come in here pull out his toy basket and play. This room isn’t big, however its just right for him.

Carson’s Nursery

This is a super budget nursery!  How did I complete it for so cheap?  I made the crib skirt by hand (an easy, no-sew project) and created DIY canvas art, used free online printables, and upcycled furniture from Goodwill with some spraypaint.  Don’t forget shopping at the dollar store for all my organizing bins!  The biggest accent in the room is the DIY stenciled wall–easy to do and super cost-effective.
