We wanted to create a nursery with pieces that were versatile and that we could use in the future. We focused on simple elements that would be easy to change out as he got older.

This is the most beautiful baby room I think I have seen. It is like a showroom, yet comfortable. I love it! You should help new moms design their rooms.

Looks great ! I would love to hear details on how you did this for less than $1,000! I know your dresser itself is $299 from Ikea and I assumed once you added in your crib and everything else you mentioned, that would exceed $700. Most bedding I have found is $300-$400 for the set alone so with the chair, and everything else listed, I would love to hear how you did it.

Hi Maggie – thanks for your comments. Sorry, I had a hard time replying
and accidentally hit the thumbs up/down buttons ;-). Sorry about that!
Sticking to a budget of a little over $1,000 was difficult but
definitely doable. We did a lot of promo codes and watching for sales.
The Ikea dresser is listed at $299 but we ended up getting on a special
sale for $230. We bought it and then noticed the price difference and
they gave us an adjustment. The bookcase from Ikea was $90. The glider
was a gift from my dad (so we didn’t count that into the total. The crib
was from Amazon and we found on sale for $125 with free shipping. The
bedding is expensive – I agree. We ended up ordering on Dwell Studio
over a holiday weekend when they had a promo code for a percentage off
your entire order. Plus, we didn’t buy the bumper which can be the most
expensive piece of the bedding. Other than that, we stuck to sales and
discount stores like Marshalls and Homegoods. My husband and I also did
quite a few DIY projects, which helped. Hope this helps and feel free to
send me a message if you have more questions – I can walk in more
detail. Good luck to you :)!!

Very Nice Nursery! Did you make the clothing dividers yourself? If not, can you reveal the store or company that it was purchased from?

May I ask where you got those alphabet blocks? I love them!
How is the Hemnes dresser working out as a changing table? We are thinking of using it too. Thanks!

The round ABC bin on the floor next to the boookcase… Where did you get it? Also, how did you adhere the fabric scraps to the clock?

It works out great, we love it! Plenty of room for all the clothes and we love the drawers at the top for all of the small stuff- bibs, burp cloths, socks,etc. I’d recommend getting a changing pad with a strap that can attach to the back so you’re nice and secure :)
We adore it! So cute and the bin holds all of his stuffed animals.
We attached the fabric strips with fabric glue. Good luck :)

Hi there – we made them with supplies from michaels and Joann fabric. If you can find the aisle with the unpainted wooden stuff that where we got the closet dividers. And the animals were already painted, we found those in the same aisle. We just painted the dividers with a base coat. It was a fun project!

Love the room but was wondering where you found the peddle car? I had a real one just like it when I was little and would love to have this for my grandsons nursery. Thank you for the wonderful ideas!

Where did you get the giraffe on the closet divider?

Hello! I believe it was JoAnn Fabric, if not you could always try Michaels. I bought I already painted. Good luck :)

Hi there! The peddle car was a gift from my sister in law. I believe she said hallmark but let me check on the bottom to see the name brand. Stay tuned!

Hi- sure! We found the floor bin at a baby store but I found it online at the Land of Nod to give you the product name: http://www.landofnod.com/alphabet-print-landscape-floor-bin/s642894
We adore it! So cute and the bin holds all of his stuffed animals.
We attached the fabric strips with fabric glue. Good luck :)
