Sophia’s Nursery

Description

Small room, small budget, short time! We're adopting our little girl, and didn't find out about her until 3 months ago, so time was short to create the nursery we want for her.

Design Inspiration

My inspiration was Chloe's nursery which I found here on Project Nursery.  I loved how the pink looked with the black and white, but really tried to mimic the brownish/ gray color she used on the walls that did not have wallpaper.  I didn't want to paint every wall pink, and love the way all these colors worked together. 

Decorating Style

Entirely depends on the moment.  :)

Project Details

I tinkered with most every item purchased for this room.  I recovered the glider and ottoman with fabric I purchased online from Fabric Warehouse, and added extra ties to the bumper with the leftover fabric.  The curtains were plain white panels that I added the polka dot fabric too, as well as the ribbon trim, purchased from Hobby Lobby.  Since I couldn't spring for actual artwork, I found pictures  I liked online, printed them on a laser printer and colored them in with colored pencils and framed them myself.  I made the headband and bow holders, as well as the Sophia letters above crib from more items found at Hobby Lobby. 

Favorite Items

I think I'd have to pick the glider and ottoman, really pleased with how they turned out.  I wanted them to later be able to transition anywhere else in the house when Sophia outgrows them.

Advice

I just picked my color scheme and went with it.  You can find a LOT of inspiration here on Project Nursery.  If there was something I wanted that I either couldn't afford or couldn't find, I made it myself.  Definitely check out stores like Michael's and  Hobby Lobby, just walking around there can give you even more ideas.
