Description
We had a small square room to work with so we used lots of art work and put furniture on angles to make it more interesting.
We used an antique hoosier to store diapers, wipes, lotion etc. and then used the table part as a changing table. We couldn't find a mobile that we liked so we handmade one. We used framed wrapping paper from his baby shower to use as art work.
We also have a banner on the crib that we made for the baby shower, which we only ended up using for these pictures and took it down once baby was born.
Design Inspiration
We were inspired by the circus! Bright colors and animals.

Advice
Think bright and be creative. We re-used a lot of stuff from our baby shower, keep your eyes peeled for cute wrapping paper and decorations.
This banner from the baby shower was only used for pictures, once the baby was born we took it down. Thanks for your concern though!
It’s cute, but no one has pointed out that the circle bunting is a potential hazard for strangulation. Just wanted to say that in case anyone was really considering adding that to their cribs!
Live the color. What color is it?
I love the paint color, what is it??
I love the mobile, where did you get it?
Love the paint color – what is it?
The mobile above the crib just caught my eye… so great!
Tasha – Yes, the elephants were from the center pieces of my baby shower! I took a lot from my baby shower and incorporated it into the room. Great way to save money too!
Such a lovely room! I really like what you did with it. That DIY animal mobile is cute. Were those the same little animals you used as accents for your baby shower?
Nancy, Thanks! … Lucy, my mom used to own a home decor boutique I got it from there but she is no longer in business. Sorry that’s not very helpful :o(
I love the little shelf you have in the corner.. I have a little corner space I’m trying to fill in my nursery and that is perfect! Where did you get it?
The DIY mobile is great! I love those animals from Michael’s. Great job, this is a beautiful nursery!
Thanks Molly! It’s from Sycamore Street Press, you can find them on Etsy :o)
I love everything about your baby room! I especially like the “Crying is for Babies” wall art, where did you find that? Looks great! :)
