We were about a month from our second son arriving when our 2.5 year old was growing quickly out of his crib.  So, having to prepare a nursery in addition to a toddler room, we needed to consider cost in addition to design.  It was also important to maintain some sort of “nursery” to his room; incorporating pieces that would keep the room still feeling like it was his (pieces like the black and white canvases that used to be above his crib). With a little creativity and a lot of build up to our toddler, we were able to come up with a successful and cost-efficient design we love!
