Our Baby Sienna’s DIY Nursery

As a crafty and budget conscious new mamma, I set out to create the most amazing, colorful and baby girl friendly nursery for my little Sienna.
I am not a super girly girl myself and wanted to avoid an overly pink baby room. I looked into color combinations that were a bit more contemporary yet still soft and sweet. Starting with my love of teal/aqua as a primary color, I connected with a light peach and grey. The room ended up with tan as well since we got a great deal on the glider. =)
 

Sofia’s Pink + Red Nursery

As an interior designer, I always dreamed of creating a nursery for my own children.  I finally got the chance to do that last year when my husband and I were expecting our first baby, Sofia.  We worked together on every aspect of the room.  Now our daughter is 1 year old and the room is just as fresh, fun, and vibrant as when we first put it together.  She loves it!

Aryana’s Simply Elegant Nursery

I wanted the room to be peaceful and warm, yet with sections of vibrant colors to create an aestically pleasing vision for my baby. I got many ideas from Project Nursery and Pinterest.
We made one of the wall stand out with colors in a chevron design. The shelves, the Disney pictures and the Penelope Bird Mobile were all DYI projects that added a personal touch to the room.
 

Reed’s Starry Retreat

I didn’t set out with any particular “theme” in mind for this room but once I decided to DIY that starry ceiling version of one of my favorite wallpapers, it all came together.  From that one point of inspiration a loose celestial theme evolved – light and peaceful with touches of dark wood to warm things up and loads of different textures.  You can see my original inspiration board for the room here.

Teddy’s Transitional/ Whimsical Nursery

Teddy’s nursery took about 7 months to complete, which is unheard of for me, as I make decisions on the fly and want things done yesterday.  Because we ordered a brand new line of furniture, there were some delays in getting it (on the manufacturer’s end)– add that to the several months that it took for me to decide what to do with his wall letters, and you arrive at the 7 month completion date for this nursery.  In spite of how long it took, we are really happy with the result.
