Since we don’t know our baby’s gender, we decorated the nursery in bright, neutral colors – aqua/teal, orange, yellow and green. We furnished and decorated the space on a budget, so most of the projects for the room were DIY. You can see more pictures of our nursery on my blog at http://icecreamoffpaperplates.wordpress.com/2012/07/02/baby-kopps-nursery-finally-finished/.

OMG! Do you sell your dog art? I would LOVE to have these for my dogs.

JenM,
I don’t sell my artwork, but I’ll do special orders. If you’d like you can send me an email with photos of your dogs and I’ll let you know what I can do and how long it’ll take me.

I love rooms that are cohesive but not theme-y and can easily grow with the child. Nicely done!

My favorites are the cubby wall shelf and the dog-inspired pastel artworks. I consider myself an artist and I love to paint, but for the life of me, I can’t do dogs!
SB
luv the cubby shelf how did he make it?
louisakopp
SB,
First, my husband made a diagram of a cubby shelf and determined the measurements for the all the pieces (we based the size of the shelf on where the studs were in the wall). Then he bought wood and cut it to size according to his diagram with a circular saw. After that, he screwed the pieces together. He made the hooks from a wood dowel and wood knobs. He also bought molding trim, which he attached around the top of the shelf.

Beautiful room – I just love it! Well done without being traditional gender-neutral. Modern, clean and fun!
Kate
I’ve been looking for a bookshelf like that for weeks now. Do you have the link to it at Ikea??
Love the color choices. The room is perfect for a boy or a girl!

Such a cute nursery! Which glider is that from Walmart? Is it comfy?
Thanks!
Marissa
Is that the enchanted cherish glider from walmart? What color is it – tough to tell from the picture. Thanks!
louisakopp
It’s the enchanted cherish glider in taupe weave.

Catherine,
Yes, the enchanted cherish glider is very comfy. Definitely a great deal! And it comes in a bunch of different colors. It swivels and glides.

Congratulations to both of you! As the father of an 18 year old daughter (Lauren) and 16 year old son (Steven) here are a few of my lessons learned on the next steps…
Step 1: Get some rest (you’ll need it!)
Step 2: Whatever name you have chosen can be changed up to the last minute
Step 3: Foremost…let the baby and Mom be healthy!!!
Step 4: Richard will need to pass the test on changing the baby (one you pass the test then you can do it on your own!)
Step 5: If you get tired and frustrated take a deep breath and step back…join the club (this too shall pass!)
Step 6: The baby will let you know when he/she is hungry (no worries there!)
Step 7: Get some more rest when you can (you’ll need it!)
All the best!
Richard

What a cheerful nursery! I love the wall with farmed letters :) I think it’s a great example of gender neutral nursery. Great color palette too.

Rich Blumberg,
I just want to say I agree with Rich Blumberg’s comments!
DeVann
Im looking to build a cubby like the one your husband built. Would you be able to provide plans for it?? Thanks
Miranda
Hi,
Love your nursery! I have the same glider and I am looking for an ottoman and I love yours. What size is it? The Etsy seller has various size options. Thanks!
Louisa
In case you’re still interested, my husband finally wrote up plans for the cubby shelf.
Louisa
Thank you! It’s the larger size, 24 inches.
Morganne
Is the glider you have gray? I have been looking for one just like it and love the style and price Walmart offers, but am unable to find the glider in gray on their website. Did you purchase the glider recently? Thanks! :)
Louisa
Hi Morganne,
It’s actually more like a taupe color than gray. We purchased it from Walmart about 9 months ago. Good luck with your search for a glider! It took us a long time to find one that we liked.
