Forest Inspired Nursery

We wanted to create a room that was what we would’ve liked as a kid.  The original idea was to make the room feel like it was a forest glade, but we didn’t have time to paint that detailed a mural and so much of the walls are window that it wouldn’t really have worked. We settled on three season trees: Summer, Spring and Autumn (I hate winter) and proceeded to populate with creatures – some by us, some by our friends. We also added some metal elements (like the clock and curtain rods) to give it a Narnia feel.

Vintage Traveler

Liam’s Nursery is an eclectic mix of found objects, antiques, and handmade items. I personally challenged myself to design and create many of the arts and crafts projects that would decorate the room. I crafted the “Liam” letters using paper mache letters, maps, and hodgepodge. I highlighted areas on the map that my husband and I had traveled to. I used the same collage technique on a handmade cardboard deer head that I cut out and handcrafted. I then challenged my Photoshop skills to make two graphic posters. The first incorporates the lyrics to our wedding first dance song “I Cross my Heart” by George Straight. The lyrics were very fitting for this occasion.  The second image is of Zoey, Liam’s furry big sister.Lastly, I dusted off my sewing machine and put my amateur sewing skills to work to create the large, overstuffed, teal seahorse puff.  All other items were either gifted to us, found, or purchased at antique stores. One of my favorite finds were the two silk screen prints of a plane and ship, printed over vintage maps. These were found in a small nautical antique shop in Ohio.

Aryana’s Simply Elegant Nursery

I wanted the room to be peaceful and warm, yet with sections of vibrant colors to create an aestically pleasing vision for my baby. I got many ideas from Project Nursery and Pinterest.
We made one of the wall stand out with colors in a chevron design. The shelves, the Disney pictures and the Penelope Bird Mobile were all DYI projects that added a personal touch to the room.
 

Adler’s Room

This was what we did prior to baby Adler being born.  We painted the walls a dark gray.  Re-purposed and painted an old dresser green to use for a changing table.  Re finished the rocker with a simple coat of white paint.  And to top it all off we made a magnetic chalk board wall behind the crib and trimmed it out to make it pop.  Lastly added a few floating book shelves, a lamp, some accessories and a rug to match the color scheme and we now have a wonderful baby room!
 

Evia’s Vintage Glam Circus Nursery

This is a Pinterest nursery if there ever was one! I took several different ideas that I loved and combined them to create a fun, girly circus theme for our new baby girl, Evia. In the last month of my pregnancy, I was nesting like a mad woman! I ended up making or altering the majority of things in the nursery. To be truthful, it’s now my favorite room in the house…I’m wondering why I haven’t put this much work into the rest of the rooms!
