I’m wrapping up my “What I made for #3” series with some shots from the nursery. You’ve seen almost everything in here already, so it might be a big yawn. I think it’s fun to see everything together though (unless you are one of the previously mentioned people whose head may explode with too many conflicting colors and prints. Then it may be less “fun” and more “seizure inducing”.)
Our previously white crib took on a whole new, sunny persona with a fresh coat of yellow paint. I really love the way it pops against the robin’s egg, seafoamy, light teal walls (there have been lots of discussions about the exact nature of this color, and no two pictures of it turn out the same. Maybe we should call it “elusive blue”)
(please don’t comment about how my child is going to die because I painted her crib, k?)
I have 3 pieces of art in the room:
1. A collage of her newborn portraits
2. “Be filled with joy” print (she and I share the middle name Joy, so besides the colors being perfect, I thought it was fitting)
3. The wooden Happy sign. I saw this painted sign on Autum’s blog, Creative Little Daisy. She said she didn’t like the way it turned out, so I asked if I could buy it from her. In the end, she just mailed it to me FOR FREE. How nice is that? I am in love with it, and the yellow and little aqua heart at the bottom match my colors perfectly! (Check out her blog for all kinds of amazing DIY home projects, especially the pallet wall she just built in her newly renovated attic!)
I got the fun rug here. Did I ever mention I love rainbows? (ps: the rug is still on clearance, if you love rainbows too :)
I made a simple coordinating crib skirt, and then just purchased a white minky bumper and white jersey sheets. I thought all that color needed a little bit of white to balance it out. The same goes for the room.
Here’s the fun colorful side of the room:
And opposite, some calming white:
And that’s it! Thanks for taking the tour!
(I left out the closet and bathroom because they are our storage areas for 2.5 years worth of diapers, wipes, formula, baby paraphernalia, clothes, toys, and my bin of sewing scraps. You’re welcome.)
What a fun space! Love the rainbow and the white. My daughter’s room is almost the same color. I call it Tiffany Blue to be fancy. ha. And my fabric and miscellaneous baby stuff (she’s two) is clogging up her closet and dresser.
This looks so clean and bright! So her name is Juniper Joy? It reminds me of jumping for joy, and sounds like happy kid. :)
LOVE this nursery! It’s so nice to see people break out of the usual for nurserys! I am really loving your rainbow quilt!
This turned out darling!!! I love the rainbow colors and all of the little touches you added!!! I am sure she will love it too for a long time.
Oh I love seeing it all put together! Babies rooms are my favorite.
What a beautiful nursery! Seriously, I love everything about it. The quilt is great, the chair makeover…it’s all great!
Great job Adrianna, the nursery is super cute and fun!
I absolutely LOVE the yellow crib!! What kind of paint did you use? The whole room is so cheery and bright! Love it!
haha I love your little subtitle about painting the crib. I want to paint my crib a nice bright color but my hubby won’t let me because apparently he is morally opposed to paint in general and the fact that I like to randomly paint things (particularly wood colored things) solid colors is the basest of all evils.
This nursery is BEAUTIFUL and I LOVE the yellow crib. (the crib picture caption cracked me up)
Baby J is SOOOOOO lucky to have you as a Mom! It’s all very beautiful!
love love it all :)
It’s all lovely!!
Adrianna, it is ALL so cute & colorful & fun! What a great job on your nursery:) This room makes me happy. And the darling baby girl, too! Good job!
PS- I painted my daughter’s crib and she is still alive & thriving, LOL!!
