I’ve been dreaming about decorating a nursery for years; when we found out we were expecting (and a girl, no less), I couldn’t wait to get started! I had so much fun bringing this room to life for our little Gracelyn. <3

Hi! I love the curtains and plan to try making them myself. Tips on how to do this? Type of material? What dye color did you use? Any advice would be great.
Thanks!

Love the curtains. Can you tell me what kind of dye and color you used? I can’t find coral dye anywhere!
Beautiful room!

Hi there! Thanks for all of the lovely comments! :)
For the curtains, I used a mixture of two dye colors to get the perfect coral/peach I was going for- I used Rit brand in Petal Pink and Sunshine Orange. It took a few test strips of fabric to get the perfect hue (and I don’t remember the exact proportions of each color that I used, so sorry! I’m pretty sure I used more pink than orange though, so not a 50/50 mix). I used a big storage tub to hold my hot water/dye mixture and holding both curtain panels together, I dipped the bottom (or in this case, the top, as I wanted the tops of the curtains to have the color) into the dye and after 30 seconds or so, I would add a little bit more fabric into the tub until I had the amount of fabric saturated that I wanted…this made the ombre effect as the part of the fabric that went in first sat in the dye the longest…when I had the color effect I wanted, I rinsed the curtains in a utility sink and then did a rinse cycle in my washing machine. And that’s it!
And about the dressers, I wish my FIL would make and sell them! He’s so talented…but I think I officially burned him out on making furniture with this project. Woops! Sorry to my future children who won’t also get custom furniture from their grandpa. ;)

Love the room. Great job! Wondering where you got the cubes storage baskets from?

Hi Jessica,
The cube boxes are from Ikea ?

What an absolutely gorgeous room! I am planning on using goodwill finds and things passed down from family. You did such a great job putting it all together.
