When we found out that we were expecting a baby boy, my husband immediately said that he wanted the nursery to be truck themed.  Not being big on themed rooms, I told him we could do truck accents.  I love what we did and so does my husband – he’s even told me that he wishes we could do our bedroom like this. ;)

      Brandee Gonsalves,

      Thank you!! The alphabet wall was a DIY project. I ordered unfinished wooden letters in different sizes and fonts. I painted to match the room and mounted on a piece of wainscoating that we framed out. The mirrors are from Hobby Lobby. They are the mirror plates that you use to put candles out on a table. We attached them to the wall with a ton of Command strips.

      Sara,

      The striped fabric on the curtains is actually ribbon. I added some white fabric to the dot panel to give it length. I then found ribbon in different widths and colors that matched and randomly glued them in rows to the fabric. The same treatment was done to the lamp shade, a pillow, and the diaper caddy.

      Starlight Juliet,

      The stripe/boxes for the wall just kind of came to me. My husband had no idea what he was in for! :) The stripes on the curtains, lamp, pillow, and diaper caddy were DIY with ribbon. I wanted to mix up patterns in the room while keeping with the same set of colors.

      Love that collection of signages or logos by the door.It gives a vintage touch to a modern-looking room. I also like those circle mirrors.

      November 12, 2011

      Ysczabel,

      I got the signs from http://www.retroplanet.com and the mirrors are candle holders that you put on tables. I fastened them to the wall using Command strips.

    39. Nikki

      March 8, 2012

      Very cute room! I did the same thing using bookshelves as a bench! As for the others wanting to know what kind, I used these http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20116274/. Hope this helps!

    40. Bree

      March 8, 2012

      Thanks Nikki! Wondering if you are able to paint it since it’s particle board? (I’m thinking not) and are you able to use the middle as a bench–is it heavy duty enough? Thanks! :)

    41. Jennifer Powers

      March 9, 2012

      I found a place to get unfinished wooden storage that looks similar: https://www.discountwoodworks.com/page.php?250,0

      Looks like it’ll cost about $304 to get the same configuration as they have in this nursery – 2 – 4-section cubes (2 x $90), 2 – 1-section cubes (2 x $27) and 1 – 3-section cube (1 x $70)

      I love the room. You did an amazing job! I have been wanting to do a bookcase just like this. I feel like you created the room I have been planning and pictured in my mind. I was so excited to see your pictures. I know you said the fabric was from target and I’ve seen some of the bedding in this pattern but was wondering if you used a sheet for your fabric or how you did it….? Also wanted to know if you could share where you purchased the wooden cubes to create your bookcase. Again, I adore your work and would love to hear back soon. Thank you!

      awesome nursery and great idea for the bookshelf that can be used anywhere not just a nursery. We are also expecting and our little guy will be named Luke as well, still trying to think of a middle name. Blessings and well wishes to you and your bundle of joy when he arrives.

      October 15, 2012

      FYI- it looks like she used bookcases instead of cubes. you can get them cheap at IKEA and just paint them and stack. just a suggestion. the seat cushion tutorial can be found on interest. you use plywood, foam and wrap fabric around and staple. i love the room- wish i had the space to make the book cases.
