Evia’s Vintage Glam Circus Nursery

This is a Pinterest nursery if there ever was one! I took several different ideas that I loved and combined them to create a fun, girly circus theme for our new baby girl, Evia. In the last month of my pregnancy, I was nesting like a mad woman! I ended up making or altering the majority of things in the nursery. To be truthful, it’s now my favorite room in the house…I’m wondering why I haven’t put this much work into the rest of the rooms!

Evie and Eliza’s Modern Twin Nursery

The tan walls were already there, so I did 3 coats of chalkboard paint on the main wall.  We used Ikea Gulliver cribs (love these!) and I made my own crib skirts.  I took a small table, spray painted it bright pink, and added some new hardware to add a pop of color in the center of the room.  The crib quilts are from a lovely woman on etsy (Kristin Bradford) who designed the elephant fabric herself!  She was great to work with and create coordinating quilts for each girl.  The silver shelf in the corner was my friend Heidi’s.  I changed the hardware to match the night stand and used pink wrapping paper and spray adhesive to line the backs of the shelf.  The curtains and rug are from Crate and Barrel.  I found a tutorial on Pinterest to make the paper pinwheels for the mobiles.  I hung them with fishline and a small eye hook.  We just had to raise them last week after Eliza successfully ate one of the pinwheels!  Oooops! I used teal and yellow spray paint on a few random knickknacks throughout the room to help tie in the colors everywhere.  I also made yellow yarn pom pom flowers to put in a vase (another Pinterest tutorial!)  Each girl got a yarn wrapped letter for their name (Evie gets the pink flower, Eliza the purple).  I had the owl pillow on the rocking chair in Finn’s room, but made the kite on a pink Ikea pillow cover with felt and embroidery thread.  The moon light is another Ikea find!  So is the dresser… new hardware makes the hand me down changing table and the dresser look like they go together.  All of the hardware was from Hobby Lobby.  My favorite piece of art on the wall above their changing table is one big brother Finn did.  I gave him yellow, pink and white paint and let him do whatever!  Sorry this is short… twins are climbing on the printer!  Better late than never…

Serene Cherry Blossom Nursery

We wanted to create a space that was calming and comfortable for our new baby, something that was appropriate for a little one but could easily grow with her.  We wanted to make sure there were a lot of organized storage options because the room lacks a closet.  While we wanted the room to be girly, we also wanted to avoid it becoming over-the-top pink.  And most importantly for us, we needed to put together a nice space on a budget!  IKEA to the rescue!

Colorful Owl Nursery

This is a second, more colorful take on Landon’s original nursery ( http://projectnursery.com/projects/baby-landons-owl-nursery/ ).  We spent his first year sharing a room at my parent’s house, and when he turned one we moved into a place of our own!  I kept most of the same things but changed and added a few things.
In the original nursery I really wanted to use a bright, fun paint color for the walls but it didn’t really work with the decal I chose.  So in the new nursery I made sure to chose the paint color first and the wall decal second.
Basically, it is his original nursery perfected :)
(I also included pictures of his bathroom decor since it’s connected to his room and it goes with the theme.)

Colorful & Patterned Nursery

I wanted Ezekiel’s nursery to be colorful and fun without any real theme.  I always loved patterns, such as stripes and chevron, so I started there.  In order for the room to be colorful, but not too overwhelming, we painted the walls grey and had the carpets and crib grey as well.  Then we added touches of our favorite colors – green, teal, orange, and yellow – in fun patterns.
