Nick and I have been hard at work prepping and DIY-ing in prep for the little one to arrive. I’ve been imaging and adding (read: changing the scope) to our projects for months. And it has finally come together! so excited to share our nursery. I chose a neutral yellow, gray, light green colour theme AND a hotair balloon theme. I love the brightness of the room and I find myself just sitting in the chair imagining hours to be spent here with the baby.
The main focal point is definitely the crib – we chose a crib that was simple and found one at a great price at Sears!
The biggest splurge was the nursing rocking chair…I couldn’t resist – it’s from Pottery Barn – even with their 20% event, it was still an “investment”.
we IKEA hacked to create a window bench – one where we turned a Kallax shelf for seating bench, and Nick DIY a corner chest to connect it together. I just love it. Made some throw pillows in different sizes to complete the look. I read also that black out curtains are a must – but couldn’t find any decent ones that are ivory/white colour. So ordered some Blackout fabric and sewed it to Ikea curtains, and voila! DIY a window valence (my first ever) from a foam board to make it more polished.
Other decor stuff to add to the completed look
Can’t wait to bring the baby home and start enjoying this room together!
