Life is slowly getting back to normal after baby Stella's arrival, and with normalcy comes a new post!
I created a print for my nursery and made it several ways before I finally came up with a version I loved. I did a guest post on Over The Big Moon showing a few of the different ways you could modify this print (here is a peek at what the print looks like in our nursery).
I knew from the get go in the nursery I wanted some kind of accent wall. At first I toyed with the idea of doing this wallpaper, but then decided after seeing this herringbone accent wall, I wanted to do some version of that.
I'm in love with this fauxdenza. The final touches were a labor of love and totally worth it.
Putting the final finish on the wood that wraps around the fauxdenza gave me quite a bit a grief. I wanted it to be just right, which resulted in a lot of trial and error, but in the end we got it figured out.
The finish coat I used on the wood was a semi-gloss polycrylic. I wanted the wood to remain natural in color and polycrylic is a crystal clear finish that leaves no color tint behind.
The weather has been so nice here lately that I haven't gotten nearly as much done on the nursery as I wanted (too much time spent playing outside), but here's an update of where we are so far.
Last we left you we had painted the nursery and gave a little sneak at what we were working on next. That sneak was a fauxdenza for the nursery.
We are one step closer to being done with the nursery, granted it was the very first step. The walls and trim got successfully painted and it turned out great!
Making blackout curtains can seem kind of intimidating but it's actually very easy.
Supplies you'll need for this project:
Step one is cutting your fabric to the length and width of your choosing.
The nursery to be has been cleared out and is on it's way to getting prepped for paint! I'm so excited to finally get to decorate a nursery for myself (it also helps that we actually know what we are having this time). And if you missed my plan for where the nursery design is headed you can check it out here.
It's DOOOONE! I'm so excited to be presenting you with this adorable nursery!
When we started this nursery we were on a budget and a time crunch. Well, at least the budget stayed mainly in tact. As for time, you can blame my little nugget of joy for putting me off the schedule. But now that we're all done I'm so proud of how it all came together. Let's see it!
First off, you would not believe how much trouble the weather decided to give me when it was picture time! But in the end it all worked out.
Let's start with the entrance view.
For my friend's nursery we are trying to be very budget conscious, especially now that we are reaching the end of the project.
So, to make the most with what we have, I whipped up a few toys that we can use as decor, and later on for some fun.
The nursery that I've been working on with my friend is getting closer and closer to being done by the day. BTW, it was a boy! There are a few more projects that still need to be finished before the end result BUT...here is a little teaser of what the room is starting to look like.
