Description
This coral and aqua nursery was so much fun to put together. The only things that were purchased new in the room were the crib and the glider. Everything was either repurposed or handmade. The bedding, baby mobile, pillows, pennant flags, and blanket ladder were all made by my husband and me. All the shelves, picture frames, elephant, giraffes, mirror, toy chest, and changing table were repurposed. A little TLC and some paint goes a long way. We either had them laying around the house, got them at thrift stores, or bought them ridiculously cheap on sale.
Design Inspiration
I used Pinterest for a lot of my inspiration. I wanted something light, bright, beautiful, and really girly.
Decorating Style
I love old pieces that are given a contemporary feel. Who says old can't be new?!
Project Details
Dresser: Thrift Store
Bedding: Handmade by Me
Chalkboard: Repurposed Silver Platter
Ladder: Handmade by the Hubby
Favorite Items
My favorite item would either have to be the repurposed changing table or the baby mobile. The dresser was a thrift store find that my husband and I painted and added new hardware to in order to make it the changing table. It was the first thing in her nursery before we even knew she was a girl. The baby mobile was the first thing I made as soon as I found out she was a girl. I love it, and so does Zoey.
Advice
Don't feel like everything has to be brand new! I reused probably 2/3 of the decorations in this room. Paint and a little work goes a long way!
Where did you find that hanger for the mobile? I have been looking for something like that instead of attaching it to the crib. What would you call it?
Hi how did you make the little pom pom puffs on the mobile?
I would love to purchase your homemade mobile. Just like other comments I couldn’t find your etsy shop. Please let me know if you still make mobiles!
Do you still make and sell the mobile itself or do you have a tutorial?

Wondering if you can make more of those hangers for the mobile and how much they are. I saw in a previous comment you sold them on your easy shop but I am not seeing them there now. Please let me know. Thank you!
What did you use to make that mobile hanger? I love it!!
Hello ! I just wanted to say I love this nursery and I have been searching all over for the perfect bedding I like for my daughters nursery and the bedding you have created in your nursery is so perfect. Would you ever consider making it and selling it ? I know you already have me sold on it ! Please consider it I haven’t found anything like it and that is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thanks, Katie
Hi! Love the nursery. I was wondering what paint you used? Thanks!
how much would you charge to make the bedding set. I love it
You made the bedding yourself?? Where did you find the pattern? It is adorable!
Where did you get the mirror over her dresser?
Where did you fine the two girraffe figurines?
Would you make and sell the exact crib bedding set?! I love it you did an amazing job! I would love it if my baby girl has this same design in her nursery
Love the crib! Name or brand? I see it was purchased at Babies r us! I’m looking to purchase a white one and I adore this one! Beautiful nursery!
I make and sell both the mobile hanger and curtain tie backs on my etsy! https://www.etsy.com/shop/LifeWithZoey
Where did you get the hanger for the mobile and the hardware holding the curtains back?? Your room is inspiring me for my little miss!!! Love it

Thank you for your concern, but she’s never even slept in her crib. We have a co-sleeper. I am very aware of the dangers of bumper pads that’s why she doesn’t have them. The pillows are for decoration and obviously would be taken out for sleeping.
I love the way you have decorated her room, but please tell me you remove the pillows in the crib before you put her down to sleep! I can’t tell by the photo, but if you have bumper pads, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend using bumpers – especially pillow-like bumpers.
Can you share what the paint color is in this room?
