Photos of completed nurseries: ARCHIVE (This thread is now locked)

[HallsofVA]

I know I've posted some of my nursery in the furniture section as people asked about cribs, dressers and changing areas, and I think I posted the same picture in this forum a while back touting the barnyard theme.

[mum1day]

www.tcoyf.com has a great section under pregnancy fun! that's where mine is! ;-)

[lmintzer]

I'll post a few here of DS#2's nursery. These aren't the "fully completed" pix since we didn't have the diapering stuff on the double dresser nor the glider rocker in the room when these were taken, but you get the idea.

The bedding is PB Kids. The crib is the Pali Paula. The dressers are Ragazzi's "Shaker Country Charms" series in natural with cherry tops and nobs.

The muralist lives in the Chicago area if anyone is interested. She can do anything from simple like this to incredibly realistic and detailed.

We're still in need of a ceiling fan and some nice x-light blinds.

I think we have the same crib, or at least the same style of crib. Too cool. Is it the Sorelle Rosemary?

[lmintzer]

Actually, it's by Pali (the "Paula" model). But I've seen similar designs by other manufacturers. We bought this one in 2001 for our first DS. We just love it!

[lampes]

I would love to share. :)

Also would recommend a couple of books that we found at our local library that we used as inspiration:

Kidspace Idea Book by Wendy A Jordan
Decorating Kids Rooms: Nurseries to Teen Retreats (Better Homes & Gardens).

Wow, everyone's nursery looks so great! I actually just took a few new pictures of our nursery. I have posted pictures in the past but I have no idea where to find them now!

Even after a year I still am happy with our nursery. I have to say this picture was taken after putting after putting away the 30 or so presents she received for her first birthday. One of the best things I did (thanks to this board and the BB book) was to incorporate a lot of storage into our nursery. Instead of a toy box we have 4 Pottery Barn baskets on her bookshelf and we have an Elfa closet organizer built into her small closet. Now that we have had her first birthday and first Christmas the bottom 2 (of 5) drawers and two shelves in her closet organizer are full of toys. We still have room to grow! I thought it would be impossible to incorporate all of her toys into her room but it really was very easy thanks to a little work on the front end! Anyway, here are the pictures.

Are those book shelves above the changing table from Pottery Barn? Is it all one pece or did you just mount 3 close together. It looks great!

Everyones pics are gorgeous-I am impressed! I need to get cracking on #2s room. Haven't even started yet -thanks for the inspiring pics!

[vpalmer]

Thanks! Yes, the shelf above the changing table is from Pottery Barmn Kids. I think they call it a magazine rack, although I am not sure if they sell it anymore. I bet you could find it on Ebay though. It is a great way to store all of her books. And now when we get on the changing table she gets a book to play with while I am changing her. It keeps her occupied!

I really like how you put the moulding shelf for extra storage over the changing table. That's a neat idea!

Great fabrics too -- I love fabrics, but am not experienced with decorating with them yet.

For the person with the animals mural -- they're great! Especially love the zebra. I'd love to try a DIY mural (if I find the time!)

This is a gorgeous nursery! I love the colors - where did you find the changing table\dresser in that color?

[lampes]

We had an old dresser we had bought at Pier 1 that we painted. It is a rasberry colour. It took about three coats. The nightstand was one we bought at Target and painted as well. Just sand off the finish and then use a foam roller to roll on. Worked great. If you have a fabric, you can take it to the paint store and have them match the colour almost exactly.

[maridave]

Wow! I wish I would have asked this question when I was thinking of how to decorate our nursery. Lampes - I love what you did with your nursery -- it is just beautiful. I had seen it a while ago and was trying to show it to my husband but couldn't find the link.

We decided to go with the Malawi theme from Kidsline for bedding and decorating. The furniture is the from Legacy - Madison collection and the crib is also from Legacy. We also got a Dutailer reclining and lock glider. We just completed the room about a week ago and I am so happy it's done as my due date is one week away.

The animal theme is very cool. Having had my baby now, I wonder if something like your bedding would be more interesting. I noticed that we have the same swing. I love that aquarium cradle swing and wish that more swings had the side to side swing option.

[mindeva]

We are just finishing our nursery up, but this should give you an idea. We don't have anything on the walls yet or the window treatments installed, but it is coming along!

[mindeva]

I need a little education here. Can someone tell me how to put pics right into the message. I can only figure out how to do as attachments. THANKS!

[jennmw]

Here is ours, I'm so glad it's finally finished since we only have 4 weeks to go.

[yellowdogmom]

I'm happy to share ours too!

[cimberdog]

Sam had two nurseries since we moved when he was six months old and I could't imagine doing all the same painting all over again. His first nursery was more gender neutral because we didn't know he was a boy, although I was 99.9% sure.

Sure thing! These boards are where I came to get inspiration for our nursery and I LOVE the way ours turned out!

I have to say, all the nurseries pictured in this thread are really outstanding! You can tell that the parents on these boards put a lot of love and time into their children.

Here's ours...it was quite a labor of love as I did all the wall faux painting and stenciling myself...TWICE, since we moved when DS was 2 months old! It was worth it, though - anything to give our precious ones beautiful nurseries, right??

Mindy - there is an option to check a box that says "embed pictures as urls in the message post" when you attach - click on it. also make sure you click on the box to label the picture as a "jpeg"

[CarrieMaro]

Ashley,
What a sweet baby's room! Can I ask who makes the great changing table and shelving above it? Did you paint them yourself? Looks like an awful lot of work, but what a payoff. I love it.

[justlearning]

I LOVE your nursery! I am thinking about doing a sailboat theme in DS's room and was wondering where you ordered your stencil from. Had you done stenciling before or was this your first (and second!) time? It sure looks like a professional job--beautifully done!

[Mommy_Again]

LOL...my grandfather made both many, many years ago. I think he made the changing table when my little brother was a baby. I handpainted both, and it was a ton of work but I loved every minute of it. You can't see from these pictures but the sides and top of the changing table are painted too. Plus, since I was pregnant DH had to do the base coats!! I am nowhere near ready to have another baby but I am already itching to decorate another nursery - it's so fun!

[Mommy_Again]

The stencils are from Crafts n Stuff - a Michael's-like store in FL. I just looked at them but there is no brand name printed on the stencil itself. I would be glad to send them to you though if you promise to send them back (if you can't find anything else).

The stenciling was actually MUCH easier than I anticipated- it was my first experience with any type of stencil. The hard part of the room was the faux treatment on the wall to give a soft cloud effect- very time consuming. But I knocked the whole stenciling out in less than 2 hours. I went around with a level first and made pencil marks so it would stay straight, then just taped the stencil up with painters tape. Good luck!

[memedee]

Love your chandelier.
Did you get it at Koo Koo Bear?
Also great cornice.
Was that in one of those books?
Love the walls and the large squares.
You have a real flair for decorating!!!

[vpalmer]

Casey,
Thank you! I am at work so I can't pop into the nursery and take a current picture. The only pictures I could pull off Shutterfly are pretty old, but they give you the general idea. I will try and get a more recent picture tonight. These pictures give you an idea of the basic organization of the closet but, of course, it would be better to see how they are used IRL!

This first one is really old. I think we took it the day we put the organizer in the closet. It was before we even painted the nursery!

http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/8493.jpg

This second one was taken before DD was born.

[lampes]

I confess to stealing all of these ideas from various books and magazines. The valance was in a child's nursery decorating book (by BG&H) and the idea for the paint was from a Paint Decor magazine. That magazine and Windows and Walls are really fun decorating magazines. The chandalier arose from my coveting these chandeliers sold in a small shop in the Galleria in Edina MN. They had these beautiful Italian chandeliers only the prices were outrageous - $1400 and up. So my husband and I bought a wrought iron one from Lowe's ($69.00) and he spray painted it white. We bought the crystals and the pendalogues off of ebay for $45. Wa la - our very own custom chandelier.

[lampes]

I bought this chair from a local retailer but it is from this manufacturer: http://www.bestchairs.com/bcpublic/index1.jsp. If I had to do it all over again, I would have looked around more because my friend who is expecting in August found an awesome upholstered chair and half that glides from a Homemakers' Furniture store (owned by Nebraska Furniture Mart). They had dozens of fabrics to chose from and I think the cost was less too.

[kathsmom]

Lampes,

How neat of you to come up with all of those ideas! Could you tell me about the raspberry color that you painted your furniture? I have been looking for a raspberry color to paint our master bathroom. Also, can you tell me about the day bed in the room? Is there a trundle under it, or are there drawers? Our DD is 8 years old and we are considering getting her a smaller bed (she has a queen size right now and it takes up most of her room).

Thanks so much!

[kathsmom]

Oops! Sorry, double post!

[lampes]

The raspberry color was called Lipstick and was a Benjamin and Moore paint that was no longer made and so our Diamond Vogel paint store mixed it to match. I can send you a paint sample that you can take to your local paint store to have mixed. The Daybed is from Ethan Allen. It and the chair were the real splurges in the room. It has a trundle underneath. The only thing I don't like about the trundle is that it is heavy and thus hard for me to pull out and it doesn't pop up. But I thought that when my DD got older it would be fun for sleep overs.

[cimberdog]

Lampes,
Are you in MN? If so, it's nice to have another BBB close by! I know the shop you are referring to at the Galleria Mall (I think).

Is there a Lowes nearby? I've never seen one.

[StaceyKim]

i posted mine to the lounge! DD's nursery is not near done but i got excited about her bedding, drapes, and chair!

[StaceyKim]

This nursery is just beautiful! I love how you painted the walls and the fabrics you used are very nice together. I love how you used the red paint on the changer and the end table. It's awesome!!! A simply gorgeous nursery!

[StaceyKim]

holy cow, you made that chandelier?!! i am completely impressed!!!!

[GaPeachInCA]

Our nursery is not quite finished. We just got the call that our glider is in, so we need to go pick it up. (It will be replacing the blue chair in the corner.) And then my mom is making our crib skirt, bumper and valance plus a quilt and throw pillows for around the room. But we love what we have so far! :)

Love the colours. I am a big fan of the pink/green combination.

[hellosmiletoday]

Hi. Is the Ethan Allen daybed in while or cream? We have a crib and low dresser from them in cream, and I wanted to eventually add on a daybed.

[kathsmom]

I would love to get a paint sample if you don't mind! It is such a pretty color! Thank you for the information about the Ethan Allen daybed. Is it part of the Ethan Allen Kids collection? I have seen commercials for their kids furniture collection.

You can just e-mail me through the boards and I will give you my address.

Thanks so much!

[lampes]

It's the Jamie Daybed in Vanilla. It's an offwhite color or it was painted white and antiqued and thus has an off white color, if that makes sense. The Emma bed is just gorgeous in person and that is offwhite with beautiful soft green, pink accents.

[Chacinta]

We're still putting some finishing touches on our little guy's room. Also, DH broke the cd that came with our digital camera, so we'll have to fix that problem before I can post any pics on the computer. I like EVERYTHING about your house - style, furniture, colors; you've really done an amazing job with it! Come and give me advice on my living room -- it's much too "vanilla" :)

~Linda~
Baby #1 due Nov 17, 2004

[beths96]

Linda,

Well, what color is your furniture in your living room? I picked out a neutral tan color for my furniture, so I just tried to find a paint color to match. But really, don't be afraid of color at all! Almost every room in my house is a "color," and I love it! It makes my home interesting, and I feel that it makes it more homey.

Do you have pictures of your living room your could post?

Also, how is your pregnancy going? We're due on the same week!

Beth

[almostamom]

Beth,
PM me - I'd love to "chat" with you about my decorating dilemma and our soon to be arriving munchkins. STILL waiting for DH to get a new cd for our digital camera (the one that came with it broke before he loaded it onto our computer) so I still can't post any pics. We had an ultrasound today and our little guy is measuring a week ahead of schedule. How's your little princess doing?

Hi - I'm a new member -- and a first time mom to be - due 11/17.

Great nursery! You tied everthing together so nicely. I love the colors you used. We're trying to find a green and a soft yellow similar to the ones you used. Do you remember the brand and name of paint you used?

We've tried one green so far and it was too minty and the yellow we chose ended up looking like a lemon. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks.
Tracy

[almostamom]

Beth,

WOW, the nursery turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! (I knew that it would :) ) It sounds like you're doing well. We were only measuring 3 days ahead about 1 1/2 weeks ago, but we have another appt on Tuesday so we'll see then. We have the nursery just about done, but the camera DIED on Tuesday (GRRRRR!) We just need a few knick-knacks here and there and we'll be done. It was good to hear from you, I've been wondering how you've been doing. Feel free to e-mail me and keep me updated.

Take care,
~Linda~
http://lilypie.com/days/041117/0/0/1/-7/.png

[beths96]

Tracy,

Thanks so much! The color I used was Benjamin Moore "Lemonade." At certain times of the day, it does look more yellow than others, and at times, I've thought that I should have gone with a lighter color on the strip. But the paint matches the yellow in the bedding perfectly, so I'm glad we did it! Good luck!

Linda, thanks so much! I'm glad to hear you're doing well. It's getting so close for us, isn't it! I'm scared and excited, all at the same time. Let me know when you get your camera fixed!

Beth

[StubbyDog]

Well our nursery is a little more "thrown together" than a lot of peoples, but we've had fun doing it and it has been relatively lower cost. It started out with John Lennon bedding that we got from a friend/neighbor at a garage sale. While it is not my "favorite" bedding, it's cute and got us started!

Other items in the room:
- Morigeau-Lepine natural maple crib
- Sorelle natural changing table
- Target bookcase w/bins
- Pottery Barn Kids sheer curtains w/ties at top
- Target curtain rod & holdbacks
- hand-me-down rocking chair :o) (we bought an upholstered rocker/recliner for our den, also)

I think I've estimated total cost for the room at around $600, not including the upholstered rocker/recliner in the den, including just about everything else but toys. The crib was the single largest expense at a little over $300, but we did get that for quite a deal!

Hi -
I just love your furniture - it looks really similar to what we are considering purchasing. My DH and I are about to order our crib and chair this weekend, and we're looking at a Pali Renee crib and a Dutailer chair just like the one you have. Can you tell me if these are the same ones you bought? They look great.

We're having a tough time deciding on whether to buy a combo dresser or skip it altogether. I would rather buy a regular dresser that isn't strictly for baby, and let him/her grow into as they get older. What manufacturer did you buy your dresser from?

Thanks for answering my questions! Beautiful room!
Monica

[smilequeen]

Well, not 100% completed since the crib isn't together and the bedding hasn't come in yet...but otherwise we are basically done. We have a nursery and bathroom...

Here's our nursery. It's a very small cozy room. The paint is Nob Hill Sage from Benjamin Moore. The furniture is from Morigeau. We still have more artwork for the walls which we will eventually put up when we have time! Enjoy!

Had to add mine too, since we've finally finished it. My mom made the bedding, quilt, and pillows for us, so it's pretty special.

Stace,

I love Lola's nursery! Where did you get those BEAUTIFUL window treatments?

PS No I didn't paint the murals myself! I wish i was that talented. I just decided what I wanted.

[NatalieM]

Karen,

I absolutely love Simon's nursery! You really did a great job. Would you mind letting me know where you got the banners on the wall? Best of luck, Natalie

[kathsmom]

Stace(StaceyKim) and Karen(smilequeen),

Love the pics of the nurseries! I was wondering if you could tell me about the bookshelves that are in each of your children's rooms. Stacey, I think that the one you have in Lola's room would be the perfect size for my 8 year old DD's room. Karen, I think yours would be great for my 2 year old DS, especially since his room is smaller than DD's.

Stacey, I don't know if you remember or not, but when you posted some pics in the lounge before Lola was born, you gave me the information about the paint color you used. I have definitely decided to paint the kids' bathroom in that apple green color. I think it will really brighten it up and it's a good compromise for a bathroom that has to function for both a boy, a girl, and as the main bathroom of the house!

Thanks, ladies, for any information about the bookshelves!

[StaceyKim]

Hi,
I got the bookcase at Land of Nod.

I love it and also have it in my DS's room too.

ETA:yes I remember you asking about the paint colors. I get a lot of compliments on the color and I hope you like it once it is on the walls.

[StaceyKim]

Thanks so much! I love your murals!!
I had the drapes made by a local company here in Chicago. I got the fabric & trim at a fabric store in Boston.

[mama2galpals]

Stace,

Thanks to you too re the murals! Is that curtain fabric silk? I really love it.

Thanks :) Our bookshelf is Bonavita (Carmel is the collection I think)...

[smilequeen]

Thanks:) Most of the stuff on his walls came from www.babybox.com I know that's where the banners were from, and they had the artist paint them together so she would use the same shades of blue and yellow...I love them up close too!

[kathsmom]

Stacey and Karen,

Thanks so much for the replies about the bookshelves! It's so hard to go furniture shopping with a 2 year old and an 8 year old! They seem to think it's boring for some reason. LOL!

The nurseries look wonderful and I am sure that Lola and Simon will enjoy them very much.

Take care!

[StaceyKim]

Yes, it is a silk tafeta. I also used it on my crib skirt and bumper.

[momtoemma]

Stacy,

Can I ask where you got the dollhouse for Lola's room from? I just love it, and it certainly looks custom.

Thanks!

[StaceyKim]

i didn't get it from the link below but it is the same
http://www.fantasytoyland.com/perpindolhou.html
i got the dollhouse as a gift
they had additional personalization done via the store
the color of her room is apple blossom by benj. moore
let me do some research and i can get you the link of the co.
i have the catalog somewhere!

I have the same bathroom accessories for my boys bathroom and I wanted to know if you remember where you purchased the fish knobs and also the color you used for the paint on the walls?

Thanks for any info you can give me.

Hey there...I do remember the name of the color we used in the bathroom...it was called Cadet. We got it from Lowe's...it was either a Waverly or Laura Ashley color, not quite sure, and they mixed it up in their own brand...American Traditions I think?

I got the knobs and switchplate covers from www.mudpuddledesigns.com They turned out great (I used them in his bedroom too) :)

[Jakobs_mom]

Thanks so much for replying back. The knobs are adorable.

I just finished the nursery! It was difficult picking a cute "unisex" theme, but we found a discontinued Sumersault bedding set on eBay for really cheap ($70 for the set including the lamp shade, diaper stacker and all the bedding). Then, I just took the STAR theme from the bedding and made that the room theme. I didn't have very high hopes for it, but it turned out cuter than I thought it would. :) Enjoy!

We aren't completely finished, as we're awaiting the arrival of our furniture. We have completed the mural.

The bottom half of the wall is chalkboard, hence the trim functions as a chalk holder. The clouds are all painted with an irridescent paint, so with the camera flash it doesn't show up very well.

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/daniandmeghan/slideshow?.dir=/6acf&.src=ph

The artist, Kaleb Loosbrock, is great and resides in Chicago. If anyone is interested in using him I'd be happy to pass along his number.

[californiamom]

Your DC's nursery is GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing the pictures. :-)

[babystuffbuff]

Wow, how beautiful!

Do you know how big (in feet and inches) the room measures? We are trying to make a decision about expanding our bathroom into what will eventually be the nursery; I'm trying to get some information about how far we can move the wall. :)

Thanks!

[mastry]

Wow! You've gotten quite a response on this one. I guess everyone is proud of their nursery! Here are a few pics from my DDs room. My friend and I made all of the window treatments, bedding, etc. and my DH repainted old furniture that was my sisters when she was little. The rocker was my DH's grandparents, so this room is full of sentimental value!

It's been awhile since you posted this...you should show us what you ended up doing if it's finished.

[mama2galpals]

Wow I love the choice of fabric and the window treatments etc. the colors are not typical either. that is really pretty!

Here are the pictures for our daughter's nursery. Abigail Savannah is due on May 29 and the theme is Pottery Barn's Happy Daisy. Since these pics were taken, we've hung her quilt on the wall and hung two pink gingham lined hanging baskets over the changing table to hold diapering essentials...

[HannaAddict]

Your nursery looks beautiful. I love how your mural turned out. And you've picked a gorgeous name for your daughter. Love the customized letters too.

Did you paint the letters for the girls' names yourself or did you buy them somewhere? They are beautiful!

[lmintzer]

Neat, Susan. I like the built-ins and the the rug a lot!

[TudorRose1013]

Its the Venetian, from Simmons. We got it at BRU on clearence.

[ChunkyNicksChunkyMom]

I honestly do not remember where the glider came from but I see they are stocking the same thing at Ababy.com. Thank you for your noce comments about the room. The built-ins were a great space saver for a small area
and did not cost that much more than buying a nice dresser and bookcase.

Susan,
Thanks for the link to the glider! It looks like an heirloom piece and is the first glider I've actually liked.

And you know, we hadn't considered built-ins instead of a dresser, etc, but the way our room is laid out (the windows extend close to the floor) it might be a much better use of space. Thanks for the idea!

I realized I never posted DD's nursery and well with #2 on the way I am not going to get to do another one, so here you go! All the credit goes to my sister and her boyfriend they did an amazing job and in 14 hours straight of working on it no less! It is perfect and DD loved "petting" her animals. I am convinced that is the only reason she lays down for changes these days. ;)

I think we're going to end up with drapes over Payton's closet-- the doors just get in my way!

Looks like you're ready!!!

[s7714]

Melanie,

That looks beautiful!

Where did you get that butterfly mobile? I've been looking for something like that as a decoration in my older DD's big girl room!

Now is that closet full of all the girl's clothing you've been stock piling since you found out you were having a girl? Or are you going to say that some of those are DS's clothes too? Come on, tell us the truth now... ;)

Nice! I like the dragonflies on the walls.

[Melanie]

It's from Pottery Barn Kids. I only got it a few weeks ago, though I am having trouble finding it on their website now. My friend picked it up at the LA B&M store at The Grove, so you could call and see if they have it. The butterflies are made of balsa wood and it's not the plush/musical nursery one. I can't remember the exact cost...under $50.

heehee...My Mom & I have been shopping for 4 months now, plus I got some hand-me-downs from a couple of people. It is quite jammed, though, isn't it? I feel guilty when I see Ds' almost-empty closet but then I remind myself that those clothes are up to size 12 months and his are all for right now. She will be using some of his onesies and PJs, but those are in the jam-packed drawers. LOL.

[Melanie]

>I think we're going to end up with drapes over Payton's
>closet-- the doors just get in my way!

I was thinking of doing that as well, but then I was thinking about when baby starts crawling and pulling herself up, that she might pull on them. If we still don't have doors when she's older then I would probably do that as well. My mom did it once and it looked quite nice.

[jenmcadams]

What a beautiful room...can ask where you got the cubby/bookcase?

Thanks,

[Melanie]

>What a beautiful room...can ask where you got the
>cubby/bookcase?

It was from an unfinished furniture store and then Dh painted it white. It also came in a shorter version. I love the wainscoting on it and that the shelves are fixed. It has legs that we can attach to raise it up a bit more eventually, but for now I wanted it flat on the ground.

[jenmcadams]

Thanks...I love the wainscotting too...was hoping it was something I could order or find locally, but I haven't seen anything similar in our unfinished furniture store.

[smcouch]

Melanie,

Can you tell me the shades of paint you used? We're wanting to do similar colors, and I never pick out the right colors of paint!

[beths96]

Hey girls! Everything is looking good! I'm the one with the yellow and pale pink nursery with the stars theme a few pages back.

I'm writing to make sure that Marcy got my email. Marcy, I got the netting over my crib as a hand-me-down. I think my cousin got it at Bed Bath and Beyond. We kept it up until Hailey turned around 9 months, when she was able to get up on her knees in the crib. Now, at 10 months old, she can stand completely up. I think they're great to have and so beautiful, but try not to spend a whole lot of money on one since they are used for such a short amount of time.

However, when she gets a little older and won't mess with it, it can always be used over her bed once again.

I hope this helps!

Beth

[Melanie]

It was Behr from Home Depot, but I'm not sure on the names. We matched it to our cornice fabric. My rule of thumb is to pick a color I like, then go 2 shades lighter (unless I'm going for a dark dark color).

[washington-mom]

What a beautiful room!! You must have spent alot of time on it. I know its difficult picking out the paint color, as we spent many hours debating which color to choose for our first child. When the second came around, for some reason, she got stuck with whatever was already painted on the wall. LOL

[cleo27]

Melanie,

It looks gorgeous! Did you paint the dragonflies on the walls?

Thanks,

[HannaAddict]

Melanie,
The nursery is beautiful. And it totally works at this stage with no closet doors. I love it.

I think they are wallies. I saw some online. I really like them too and wish I had seen them before I painted our nursery! I ended up using stencils.

We found the curtains at Pottery Barn Kids and the stars were from Land of Nod. The paint ended up being custom mixed, so I can't help too much there, sorry.

Great job and congrats - assume baby is here???

[pregnantagain]

Really cute, what brand of dresser is that?

[Melanie]

They were a line at Target in 2001 or 2002. I had to get them off of eBay, though.

I just saw these knobs (or something very similar) at a local baby store in my area this weekend. I thought it was a Kids Line display, but I don't see the stars and moons on their website. Here's the name and phone number of the store if you want to call them to see what brand they are: Cribs 2 Teens (805) 527-4488 (they're in CA).

This nursery is so beautiful! I have a similar display with the clothing and I just love it! Can you tell us where you got some of the things (or brands) like the bedding, letters (and are those silver metal), and the chandelier with decorative ceiling piece. I would love to hear the brands and/or where you got them. So beautiful!! Beautiful name too!!

[LexyLou]

Thank you. A lot of the stuff was made by family members and friends but the bedding is Glenna Jean "Isabella". It looks really tacky online and it almost made me not get it but luckily I saw it in person and knew how beautiful it was.

The letters are from www.woodlandmanufacturing.com . I got the 8 inch curlz 1/8 inch thick and I painted them with the same green paint I used on the bottom part of the wall.

The chandelier was restored by a friend's mom. I bought the fabric on ebay and it's the exact same toile on the bedding and she used that to make the shades but the rest was just her finding a vintage chandelier and painting it and adding the crystals.

The shelf with the clothes is from www.landofnod.com . My mom knitted the pink sweater and beret.

HTH. Thanks for the compliments!

The crib is Morigeau 6200 series #18 in Bordeaux. It is a sleig crib. We paid $720.00 (06/2004) for it at Li'L Deb-n-heir in Naperville, Illinois.

[VAmomof2]

Great looking rug. Where did you find it? It would be perfect in DD room.

Really cute! I love duckies, and you did a great job. It looks like a warm, happy place!

I love duckies! You did a fantastic job. :)

Our second morsel due late January 2006!

[dramamama04]

Very cute! I love how the hardwood and the soft yellow go together. Here are pictures of my son's room. It's not very big;it's the smallest room in the house, but he loves it. We're in the process of updating it from a baby room to a toddler room so it is sort of bare.

That was the bedding I was planning on getting if I was having a boy! I think its so cute!

[cchavez]

Well, my husband still has to fix her name letters....he hung them way too high but after that her room is done. Sorry the pics did not come out so well.....oh we used the Land of Nod ooh la la bedding set...you cannot really tell from the pictures but the bumper has the eiffel tower embroidered on it....therefore the french theme :)

[SunGreen22]

What a beautiful room! It is just perfect--breathtaking. The theme is so creative, too. What a lucky little girl.:) May I ask where you got your door hook? It looks really cute. Thanks for sharing!

[cchavez]

My mom was visiting and trying to help me finish up the room. We got a white wreath hanger from the wedding dept. at hobby lobby. We then bought tiny fabric roses from the fabric dept so she hot glue gunned the roses to the hanger. Then she spray painted an infant acrylic hanger white and added the bow...since we never found a satin or wood hanger. It was all very easy and inexpensive too.

[lmintzer]

It's gorgeous, Christine! Oh, I'm having little-girl-room envy! : ) You did a fabulous job!

[juliejack]

Beautiful job. I wish I had the creativity to invision the job.

[jodi_b]

We finally finished Elena's nursery this weekend! The only thing left to do is add her birth information to a cross stitch sampler and hang it next to the closet door.

I saw a posting here about these bugs. I love them! They sway and rotate when the ceiling fan, heat, or central air is on.

http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/32139.jpg
It doesn't show up too well in the photos, but the bedding and curtains are white eyelet.

http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/32140.jpg
The little dress is eyelet too.

http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/32141.jpg
I'm glad we decided to move a recliner we already had into Elena's room. It's not too stylish, but I find it a lot more comfortable than a glider.

http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/32142.jpg
DH HATED installing the closet organizer, but I'm really happy with it.

I've really enjoyed looking at all of the other nurseries posted here.

Very cute room! I really like the blue, and it still looks like a very girly room. :) Do you just sit in there all day and imagine what it will be like to have a DD to dress in the cute clothes? :) I know I spent a good amount of time sitting in the rocker in DD's room those last few weeks... Hope Elena comes soon!

[ShellBelle]

Adorable! We're expecting a boy - due in 2 weeks - and we painted the room a soft blue before we knew the gender. I knew I wanted blue regardless! And your nursery is perfect to show how gorgeous blue can be for a sweet little girl!

I love what you've done with the bugs above Elena's crib - and tell DH the closet looks AMAZING!!! Well done, you! You're stocked and ready to go!

Blessings to you and your family - and a wonderful L&D experience to you!

Shelley

[Melanie]

Adorable! And what a sweet-looking cradle, too.

[Melanie]

beautiful! I love blue.

[jodi_b]

Thanks for the compliments and good wishes for L&D! And yes, I have spent HOURS in Elena's room... organizing, folding and refolding little outfits, reading baby/pregnancy books, and daydreaming... lots of daydreaming.

We're still waiting to meet our little gal. My midwife assures me that it will be soon. It can't be soon enough for me.

Jodi

[hellosmiletoday]

The room looks great! If you dont mind me asking, where did you get the hanging decorations, the letters on the wall, and the dollhouse bookcase?

THANKS
Mommy to baby girl 5/04

[jodi_b]

Thanks!

I ordered the hanging butterflies, dragonflies, and bee from www.butterflycraze.com. (My thanks to the person who posted about butterflycraze.com on this board!) It took several weeks to get my order, but I was happy with the bugs when they arrived. Similar bugs are available from several sellers on e-bay.

The alphabet cards are from Land of Nod. I've seen them at on-line stores as well, but now I can't remember where.

The bookcase is made by Childcraft. It can be special ordered from USA Baby or Baby Depot, but it takes 6-8 weeks to get it. I found it online at www.dreamtimebaby.com for a better price and I got it in less than two weeks. One of the reasons we picked this bookcase is that the roof part detaches. When our daughter decides she's too old for a dollhouse bookcase, we can remove the top and she'll have a plain cubby bookcase. It's also larger and sturdier than the other dollhouse bookcases we looked at.

Happy decorating!
Jodi

[CiderLogan]

It looks great! FYI, my DD's nursery was blue - I love it for a girl! And we used lots of eyelet too (I ended up finding eyelet lampshades at PBK which I loved too - you should look out for them to come back sometime if you're interested).

Congratulations!!!

Oooo, I love the closet organizer! It looks fantastic and must be so helpful.

[Crisyn]

Edited.
Never mind.....

[MaddieD]

We have that crib too. We bought the day bed rail for it when DS was 20 months.

[helaina]

Is there a place on this board where people post photos of their completed nurseries? I'm looking for inspiration.

[nicole7777]

Beautiful nursery!! We are trying to complete our chandelier and are having a very difficult time finding the crystals at any of our local lighting stores or major chains. I have found a website, however I was curious where you found yours? Thank You!

[KBecks]

Here are some photos of my 2nd son's nursery -- we kept it pretty basic (i.e. inexpensive).

I'm hoping to replace the side table and lamp by the rocker and also get another bookshelf or side table in the room.

I love the wallies we got on Ebay, they're my favorite part.

[charmcitymama]

Cute. I would like to see the crib sheet closer, though. It looks like a roomy nursery.

[Katra1]

This was my DS's nursery & big boy room. We've since moved, and I haven't redecorated. Plus, I have a new baby on the way, so we'll have to get going on all that soon.
