The Nursery

I have had several people nag encourage me to post pictures of the nursery, so today I thought I would finally do it! This was an on-going project of mine throughout my pregnancy that took a lot of blood, sweat and tears (tears of joy that it was done!) and was such a pleasure to put together for our little one.

Baby Cole's Nursery

We found the crib on Craigslist and the bassinet

(which we keep in our bedroom now)I found

at a thrift store. My mother and I lined it with a soft

off-white material for additional comfort.

The green knitted blanket is a gift made by my mother

and the blue one across the bed was made by a

friend of mine. Handmade baby gifts are the best!

I found this adorable lamp and nightstand

at the Christmas Tree Shops, as well

as the brown sisal rug in the middle of the room.

This is my new favorite store...they have A-mazing deals!

The bed, mirror and dresser-turned changing table

I found at a garage sale for a steal. I painted them a light

gray. The bed & breakfast tray I found at Goodwill

and painted the same color.

Remember this $40 garage sale beauty?

It's surprising comfortable and has already

gotten a lot of use. ;0)

Many a diaper has been changed here already.

I love the drawers for the storage space and

use them to house all of his clothes and

baby necessities.

I've had these vintage pictures for quite some time now,

just waiting for the perfect use for them.

Matthew spray painted some old wooden frames white

and I used fabric I already had on hand

to create the backdrop.

I just love the old artwork.

A shower gift. ;) Love it.

More vintage books. ;0) The "Snips & Snails" frame

is one I already had on hand that I freshened up

with a coat of white paint.

My Grandmother Linda made the bed skirts and pillow.

I just love the way they coordinate with the rest of the

nursery.

This is a sweet card made from an artist

friend of mine. It was too cute not to frame. ;)

Bed & breakfast tray already stocked with reading material.

The book on the left is what I used as my inspiration

when choosing colors for the nursery.

The pom poms I made from yarn in the vintage

colors drawn from the book inspiration and a nifty

pom-pom maker given to me by my sweet

mother-in-law, Ruthanne. ;0)

Love & Happy Decorating,
