Twin Nautical Nursery

Description

We knew that we wanted to have a classic nursery that would fit for a boy and a girl, but we also wanted it to be a welcoming, bright, loving room. We started with our budget and worked to find or make each item so that it would fit within our budget. We love this room because it has the perfect combination of DIY touches and other classic accessories.

Design Inspiration

We have always loved everything related to water (the beach, lake, ocean, river), so we wanted to have a nautical nursery with whimsical touches.

Decorating Style

We have a very traditional, classic style, but we also aren't afraid to add some pops of color.

Favorite Items

My favorite parts of the nursery are the mobiles that I made. They were one of my first projects, and I was nervous about tackling such a big task so early on. I absolutely love how they have turned out, and it makes us so excited to know that our babies will be staring up at them very soon!

Advice

Don't be afraid to make things yourself! You don't have to be "crafty" to create something special for your  baby and nursery. You also don't have to have a large budget to get a big impact.
