Finally, many months after we decided not to have a nursery<\/a>, and then kicked the kiddo out of our bedroom<\/a>, and made M an alternate office, I could finally use the decor I made ages ago, and put together the nursery. Here’s how to put together a nursery using the things you already have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How the Nursery Came Together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It took me about a week of moving the furniture around every other day until I came to the final configuration, keeping it roomy while blocking off potential hazards (like the only plug in the room). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was a few finishing touches- extra art, hanging the mobile, making a new wardrobe curtain, and it was done. The idea was to infuse color, particularly blues and greens, with a dash of red into the stark white walls and doors (which we don’t want to paint). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, we accumulated a few special items, and so each wall got a mini-theme: The original animals in blue and greens on the main wall, a little farm theme by the window, and clowns above the changing dresser. So with all that said, here is Baby Boy’s nursery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Tour of Baby Boy’s Nursery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coming into the room, straight on we have a twin bed with a bunch of pillows, mostly from Costco, that used to live in the guest room<\/a>. The striped pillow cases are new additions from Chile<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Close up of the top shelf: gifted frame and jellycat elephant, plus mini-frame with clowns (still empty inside). Underneath are framed postcards from World Wildlife Fund. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Second shelf: the shelves are Ikea Lack, the lamp is Ikea Lykta, and the frame from our local dollar store.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Close up of the Noah’s Arc mobile. It was a gift and Baby Boy loves to look at it while getting dressed after his bath. The blue blackout curtain is also from Ikea (not sure what it’s called).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Looking to left, there’s the crib plus a couple more pieces of wall art that I made using Wordle. One has all the places Baby Boy traveled in-utero, the other just family related words. The door to the left of the crib is a bathroom.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Looking right, there’s just a window above the twin bed and my farm art. The closet we use as storage so it is always closed. We have a bookcase with tension rod as Baby Boy’s wardrobe. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a close up of the farm stuff: the two greeting cards I found in an old box in my parents’ house, and the key holder I painted when I was about 10!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

 This is what it looks like most of the time though! Top to bottom: accessories, clothes, blankets and pjs,  prefold diapers, storage of clothes in next size + travel stuff.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our changing area is just an office credenza. It is locked because it is still full of office stuff! On top we have a couple Ikea Fabler boxes with cloth diapers and a Cooshee changing pad. Above it a vintage clown organizer that was used when M was a baby! The pockets hold baby toiletries, cloth doublers, covers and wipes.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finally a close-up of the clown mobile. We picked it up on our trip to San Miguel de Allende<\/a>, and the kiddo loves it!<\/em> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that’s the tour. It’s one of my favorite rooms in the house and I love how bright and colorful it came out even though we were working with white on white. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
