Shop Suggestions
- We worked on a budget and DIY most of the elements, the room that we started with did not have lights besides a very small one right next to the entry door, so my husband and father-in-law worked on adding can lights, book shelves and closet. I was in charge of the smaller projects being my first ones the elephant lamp along with the “K” light. The most meaningful project has to be the bathroom door, I painted a section of North America and South America and added hearts to where Santiago, Chile and California, USA are so we can show our little baby Peanut where Mom and Dad are from =]
- The very last project I worked on for the room was the cardboard name sign on top of the crib, since we didn’t know the sex of our Baby, I waited until after delivery, I had already set a side a big box that I was planning on using, but that same week I had planned to start with the sign my Cousin send us the tall giraffe, so I used that box instead, which allowed me to make the sign a lot bigger than my initial plan.

Love It! It is so colorful and the gray is just the right shade! I do not like it when I see nursery’s with dark gray….It looks to dark for a baby. I prefer softer colors for the walls.
How did you do the name above the crib? I also like what you did with the bumpers….it keeps them from looking so plain. I looks like a set! Every thing looks just perfect….the reading nook with the shelves…the Hot Air Balloons above the crib….the pic above the dresser….the orange closet. Every thing looks so thought out! Your little boy is adorable!

Such a beautiful and fun room! I like that it’s so spacious, with a reading corner and library. I love the hot air balloon mobile and also love how you did the name sign.

Hi Bree, I have the post explaining how I made the marquee light as a draft, as soon as I have time I’ll post it on my blog! Sadly I didn’t take pictures of the bench cushion process but I basically sewed stripes of gray and white together and then cut it to the size I wanted, added a back and zipper in one of the sides, I used a 3″ foam that I wrapped in batting for the inside, hope that helps!

I absolutely love the detail of this room! Amazing! This room could definitely grow from a baby’s room to a child’s. Which is a added bonus because our little angels grow up so fast! Beautiful!

This is a wonderful and happy space for a child to grow up and play. Love it.

This is quite an amazing nursery! I think my favourite thing in it is that elephant lamp you made. I am definitely going to try to do something similar to make a sucky lamp for our little baby. You did an amazing job with everything.

Beautiful nursery! How did you get the Drona bins that color? And are the numbers just a decal? Thank you so much!
Britt
I would love to know about the bins too. I am looking for bins just that size and color and having a hard time finding them anywhere! Everything looks beautiful and playful!
