HOUSE PLANNING | The Nursery
As I type this, Phil is in the nursery painting a light shade of “Pink Champagne” (Valspar from Lowes) onto the nursery walls. In another week, we’ll be filling the room with everything I’ve planned. I guess that means I had better begin to finalize my nursery plans!
I had been stuck on what to do with the wall above the crib for quite a while. I knew I didn’t want a mobile, and I knew I wanted to reuse art from our apartment that hasn’t yet found a place in our new home (can you say free?!). But how should I arrange it all? I didn’t want anything too sparse, or too cluttered. So when I found this cute little balloon light- I knew I wanted to include it in a simple little arrangement to give a minimal touch to the kitschy art. Voila! I hope it looks alright once it makes the transition from digital rendering to real-life.
The crib we are using was found on Craigslist for a great price. I decided I wanted to paint a thick white stripe across the top, below the chew guards. So I found some baby-safe paint, and now I just need to get to work on painting! I’ll share more on that project later.
Like my selections and want to recreate a similar look in your home? Check out the links below!
1 / 2 / 3 ($50 with invite link here) / 4 (create your own signage) / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / baby-safe paint here
If you want to check out the opposite wall elevation, look here. Since I shared this rendering originally, I’ve decided on different curtains, and moved the “xoxo” signage to the opposite wall. Other than that- this wall is all ready to go! Woo hoo! This nursery is coming together!
The balloon light is too cute! It’s exciting to see how everything is coming together now!
Yeah, every time I walk down the hall, I walk into the empty room and envision how it will all be. At least it’s coming together in my mind. :) Pretty soon I will be able to share real pictures of it, and I can’t wait!
what great planning. You should do interior decorating for a living.
Thanks, Victoria! Did you know that I went to college for interior design? I worked in a corporate environment for about a year before I decided it wasn’t for me. I enjoy corporate design, like restaurant design, and retail design. But it’s tough to get a really creative job in that field, because somebody’s got to do the boring stuff, and it’s usually the youngsters like me. So, now I just do graphic design and really enjoy being able to work from home!
The balloon light is perfect! And pink champagne sounds like a pretty color :)
Ive been following your blog for some time now and i really love it. It inspires me to have pretty and simple rooms in my home :)
