Creating the perfect nursery of my first little girl was truly a passion for me. I wanted it to be a nursery with a touch of adult decor so that it would tie in with the rest of the house.

A classic styled nursery that is comfortable and simple.

I had many different ideas and possible themes for our baby’s nursery (just check out my Pinterest Boards and you will see for yourself!)  I DID know that I wanted to use peach and coral colours for a girl’s room though, so once we found out we were having a baby girl that is where we started.  From there I got a few inspirational pieces (such as the image of the little girl eating the peach and the pair of little ceramic baby shoes) and I collected items that we already had from my childhood and from around our house (such as the quilt, the cradle, the ballerina music box, my knit and stuffed animals friends etc.) and her room started taking shape. Once I started my various handmade and DIY projects  her peaches and creme, feminine antique nursery with birdy accents really started coming to life.  Most of the projects in this nursery are handmade DIY projects and lots of the furniture we got for free, or on Kijiji, and re-vamped them to freshen them up and make them fit with the nursery.  This was definitely a nursery on a budget, the retail value of the larger items in the room would have come to around $1600 but we only spent $200 on all of those items!! So hopefully this nursery is inspiring and an example that you can create a really cute nursery on a budget!

I wanted Parker’s room to have a bright, modern feel – nothing too babyish and I didn’t want a specific “theme”. I also wanted it to have a lot of handmade touches, which it does. It’s my favorite room in the house, and I can’t wait until he’s here and we get to actually use it!

A cottage meets vintage cozy space for our brand new daughter. Pale pinks and yellows collide with grey to create a space perfect for any little girl.

We had to bring light and vibrant colors to a nursery located in a loft apartment in New York City. The challenge was low natural light.

We wanted a modern/traditional nursery that would grow with our first baby.  We mixed patterns and colors for a child friendly room that can be soothing and playful at the same time. 

My husband chose Carter’s Forest Friends bedding for the nursery, so I designed a room around that. The room is full of little critters in unexpected places.

We repainted our walls and trim, repainted an old dresser, built a bookcase, purchased a rug/curtains/crib and filled our space with bright colors.

We’re expecting our first boy in July and wanted a room to express our joy and excitement, as well as provide something with which Zeke could grow.  After many hours of DIY projects and shopping for unique pieces, we arrived at this traditional blue and brown nursery.  Enjoy!

I wanted to create a room that didnt look like a baby’s room. My husband rides motorcycles and off road vehicles so I also wanted to incorporate his interests in the room as well. My first decision was the fabric for the bedding, grey and white chevron and orange. I love the grey wall color in nurseries so the wall color was decided long before we found out what we were having.I had a lot of fun decorating this room and searching for the perfect pieces.
