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

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.

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!

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!)
