Thanks for the feedback. I’m definitely a happy minimalist, but I agree that the room could use a little something more. The nursery wasn’t quite done when these photos were taken, but I’ve also pretty well maxed out my budget. :) In a perfect world, I would love to add a gorgeous rug, but I think a car seat and stroller should probably take priority right now.

Since those photos were taken, I did receive a darling (custom-made!) baby quilt from a friend, that adds some more color and pattern to the room.

LOVE the quilt! Your friend did great! Already it added some pattern that the room needed! I can agree with you a car seat and stroller are top priority for sure! Wish you all the best with your new baby. She’s very fortunate to have such a lovely room!

Hi Cassandra: I feel you. Working with a limited budget really puts a crimp into your decorating style. Am lucky because when I was working on my nursery, friends volunteered to give me some gorgeous pieces that they used for their own nurseries that they have been keeping in the garage since their babies have outgrown it. I’ve also learned to thrift shop as well and repurposing other people’s things :)

I like that little shelf with the hangers. And that pomander ball is really pretty! It’s a great alternative to the overused tissue pompoms.

Everything looks beautiful! Question- is that the Dorel Rocker from Wal Mart? If so what color slipcover is that?

What color is the wall paint?

I’m so sorry! I haven’t checked this site in a while. It’s probably too late now, but, yes, it is the Dorel rocker – with the beige slipcover. It does look nice and you can’t beat the price, but I wouldn’t buy it again. It’s not a smooth rocker and it’s just not very comfy in my opinion. Originally, I had my eye on a CL wingback rocker that I was going to re-upholster, but the seller backed out. :(

I do like the furnishings but a little more color and pattern would give it some character. While still keeping it calm and serene.
