Hungry Caterpillar Nursery

Description

I wanted a fresh bright nursery for Baby Charles. We chose one Navy wall, and white furniture. My mother made a hungry caterpillar quilt for the bedding, and I made matching curtains. Bright yellow and white zigzag rug adds color. The mobile is felt alphabet letters. On the dresser is a handmade painting of our little dog. 

Design Inspiration

The hungry caterpillar quilt has pops of bold colors on the white background. All the colors came from the quilt. 

Decorating Style

Fresh, bold colors with traditional furniture.

Advice

If you find something on a website, don't spend the money, make it yourself. I made the felt alphabet mobile by cutting out the alphabet shapes, stuffing them with fluff, and hanging them from a wooden hoop.

This nursery just looks like a party is being held everyday. I adore that blue you have on the wall next to the crib! Can you teach us how you made that alphabet mobile?
