A Rustic Chic Neutral Nursery

Description

I wanted a calm and soothing room for my daughter to feel comfortable in as she sleeps and plays. I went with a white and beige color pallet to brighten up the space as it does not get a whole lot of light. I combined a few rustic pieces along with touches of gold and glitter to add warmth and sparkle. I am so happy with how it turned out and I hope my daughter will enjoy her space for several years to come.

Design Inspiration

I'm in love with the cottage chic look and my husband is in love with the outdoorsy look. So I combined the two in a bright and beautiful way to create a rustic chic baby oasis.

Decorating Style

Vintage Shabby Chic with a little bit of sparkle

Favorite Items

I am so proud of the White Washed Pallet Wall my husband and I put together.

Advice

Take your time deciding on what you want your space to say or feel like when you walk in. I tried to rush into getting it all done and it showed. Several times I had to go back through rearranging and/or removing a few things to get the cohesive look that I was going for. If you are on a budget, try browsing DIY's online before going out and buying something you saw in a magazine or in the store. I guarantee you there is a "HOW-TO" out there somewhere that will be half the cost. Most importantly HAVE FUN!

    Hi Antonia!
    Thank you so much :) The cubes I found at Lowes and I painted the numbers on them using a number template I made with word and my printer :)

    Hello, I love this nursery! Could you please tell me where you found the tan colored cubes with the numbers on them? Thank you.

    Thank you Amanda! I actually bought the basket form Michaels on clearance, Painted it white and tied a ribbon left over from a Pottery Barn Gift Wrapped package I received.

  13. avatar Melissa says:

    Thanks Tiffany! I actually made the twine-wrapped initials myself using a piece of cardboard from a box I had laying around and twine. I posted a tutorial here:
    http://www.fawnoverbaby.com/2013/04/diy-twine-wrapped-initials.html

    I then just hot glued the initials to three pallet boards that were secured together with a board screwed horizontally behind them. Which made for a great hanger too. (hope I explained that well :/)

    Love it. Where did you get the white basket on the land of nod wall shelf?

  15. avatar Tiffany says:

    Love it! I was wondering how did you make the wooden/pallets that have your daughters initials on them?

    Thank you Kristina! I had a hard time finding khaki chevron curtains while on a budget, so I made them myself. Here is the link to my tutorial: http://www.fawnoverbaby.com/2014/05/diy-no-sew-chevron-curtains.html

  25. avatar Fawn Over Baby says:

    Thank you Hailey! I so wish I knew :( The trim and walls were painted before we moved in. I looked through the attic to see if there were any leftover cans of paint and had no luck. My apologies.

  26. avatar Fawn Over Baby says:

    Thank you Marie!! I chose ivory ribbon so that it would blend in with painted wood banner.

  27. avatar Fawn Over Baby says:

    Hi Kristen! I wish I knew :/ It was on the wall before we moved in. I couldn’t find any left-over cans in the attic either. My apologies.

  28. avatar Kristina says:
