We opted for grayish blue walls so it wasn't quite so girly. (This may have been subconsciously influenced by the fact that I lived in an obscenely pink room for many years when I was younger.)
We found a tree decal on Etsy that was similar to the style of the artwork, and put it over the crib, which we got from IKEA. The bedding is Dwell Studio for Target, and continues that idea of abstract plant life. (Because of the controversy over bumpers, we used the one that came with the set as a makeshift window seat cushion.)
Our one splurge or this room was the rocker glider, and it was so worth it. For the amount of time spent in it you really want to make sure you have something comfy enough to doze off in. My sister in law made this beautiful quilt for Charlie, complete with her initials, and we've hung one of our Jellybeans pieces above the chair, where Charlie loves to stare at it.
We "made" the changing table from a bookcase and tabletop at IKEA, and it's the perfect height. Above it are two more Jellybeans prints, one representing a Daddy and Daughter, and the other a Mother and Daughter.
We also purchased a bigger version of the same bookcase for books and toys. The last Jellybeans print lives here, along with Charlotte's Web and some framed paper I found.
It's been a great place to display favorite toys and books.
We claimed the walk in closet in her room for ourselves (filled to the rafters with the storage that used to fill her room) so we found a wardrobe system at IKEA to hold her clothes. On the side of the wardrobe we've hung the Jellybeans calendar.
A few other details:
Some framed paper in the entry way
A DIY mobile:
A "night light" so diaper changes in the dark aren't quite so treacherous. We swapped out the winged frogs for some more of the paper I found.
That pretty much sums it up. If you see something I didn't give details on that you'd like to know about (changing pad cover, bins in the bookcases etc,) just let me know and I'll tell you where I found it. We love this room and are excited to see Charlie grow into it and personalize it.
So cute! Jonathan and I won't have a nursery for our little one until we (hopefully) get into a bigger place this summer. Love everything you guys did. Must have been such a fun project.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find that adorable paper?
ReplyDeleteThe colorful circle trees I found at Impress (http://impressrubberstamps.com/)...I just google searched it and found it online here: http://www.happyscrappinscrapbooking.com/eppwp2007-p-echoparkpaperwalkinthepark.html The dotted leaves tree paper is Snow and Graham (http://www.snowandgraham.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=373&parentCat=&catId=23)
ReplyDeletehow's the tree/dots on the wall? did you purchase a decal?
ReplyDeleteIt's a decal from at Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/listing/61591914/removable-vinyl-wall-sticker-decal-art. It was very easy to apply, she scut the trunk in small chunks so you just line up the pieces and rub it on to the wall...there's no division lines either, it worked wondefully!
