Liam’s Colorful Chevron Nursery

I really wanted Liam to have a fun room. I am a big fan of bright colors, and wanted to incorporate especially a lot of yellow and red. I love, love, love crafting, so there’s a lot in here that I just made/repurposed/designed myself. I didn’t really have a specific ‘budget’, just that I wanted to be as thrifty as possible here. (Having a baby gets expensive, after all! I wanted to make our dollars stretch!) By learning a few new skills–aka picking up sewing for the first time in my life, scouring Craigslist endlessly, thrifting, & shopping at discount stores (Ross, TJ Maxx, etc.) and Amazon, I was able to put this entire room together for under $500 It definitely took a lot more time/work than just buying all brand-new, fancy things, but to me it was a labor of love + it’s more unique and more my style.

Grey and Tangerine Modern {Woodland Inspired} Nursery

My husband and I both love things with a modern look and a tiny twist of vintage. When I was pregnant, we had no idea what we wanted to do for the nursery, the only thing we knew for sure was that we didn’t want to go the “traditional baby blue” route. We knew we both loved grey as a neutral and then we ended up adding a few pops of tangerine for fun!

Ashtyn’s Owl inspired DIY Nursery on a Budget!

Nursery on a budget! I was laid off last October and knew we couldn’t spend much on the nursery.  Searched this site, etsy, and pinterest for ideas that I could do myself to give the new little guy his own space.  Not sure when I developed my love for owls but I heart them!!  Tried to not go overboard but with friends and family contributing as well, there is no shortage of owls :)
