A Room With Re-Purpose and a Baby Girl

I hope the room serves as inspiration to others. Going back to your roots, looking at what you already have in your life, and allowing it to serve once again as “cherished” is my take on meaningful design. My quest to achieve a nursery with “re-purpose” was driven by three factors: 1) to find and reuse items with family meaning and history 2) create an earth-friendly space 3) do so on a budget in these otherwise difficult times. Re-purposed items: Austrian crystal chandelier (my late grandmother’s). Rocking horse and toy chest – mine own from childhood (repainted and treated). All bedding handmade from her great grandmothers in Austria and Greece, along with most all toys you’ll see. The chair, a special from the 70’s taken from my parent’s garage 25 years later (wood treated and reupholstered). Wall art photo copied from a book, frames taken from another room within my home. A photo framed of the late grandmother my baby girl was named after.
