Claire’s Nursery

Description

For Claire’s nursery we chose the color scheme of yellow and gray. To steer clear of too much pink, we chose an aqua for her walls. I wanted to incorporate as many handmade items as we could. I am so grateful for my husband’s love of furniture building and am so happy with how the bookcase and window seat he built turned out. I am sure Claire will appreciate the hard work he put into making these pieces just for her  . He also added crown molding to the room, which I believe makes the room look much more feminine! My mother in law is a sewing queen! She was able to make many pieces for Claire’s nursery, as well as her cradle bedding (not pictured). I’m not as crafty as my other half (and his family), but I did manage to create the wreath we hung on Claire’s door. It was one of the few handmade items I made while nesting!

Design Inspiration

Inspiration from her nursery came from many different nurseries featured on On to Baby and Project Nursery! Pinterest was a great place to search ideas.

Favorite Items

My favorite items in the room are the handmade pieces. They are special to me because of the thought that went into them. The handmade pieces include the crib quilt, window seat/cushion, bunting, curtains, and bookcase.
