And Baby Makes Three: My Nurseries

It is hard to believe that I started contributing as a design expert for Project Nursery over three years ago. This first room is the nursery design that I have to thank for it! Here is a little recap of three different budget nurseries I have designed for my three boys over the last few years.

Nursery #1 – Brandt born 05.17.08

Boys Nursey Modern Paint Detail 2

Nursery #2 – Blake born 12.09.09

Owl Themed Boy's Nursery 2

    I love all the curtains and the picture of the owls. I’m obsessed with lady bugs for my younger daughter’s future room, but owls are very cute too.

    Did you use the same room for all three nurseries? Wow, you have three kids under 4 and you managed to redesign nurseries despite the close intervals. If it were lazy me, I’d just say “Let’s leave the old nursery as is.”

    You did such a fabulous job w/ all 3 nurseries! The last is my favorite. I think I have the same white crib. Is it the Graco Lauren? Did you make your crib skirt?? I had the hardest time finding one that would fit the horizontal bar on the bottom! I ended up making one, but it still looks awkward! :(

    The table belonged to Rebecca’s husband as a child, and she painted it the sea foam green color. Maybe keep your eyes open at thrift stores and garage sales?
