Nursery


We are really pleased with how the nursery turned out. For such a small room, it stores all of Lucie's things really nicely. It is also a very nice place for nursing.
It started with the grandmas. They bought Lucie her crib and dresser/changing table from Pottery Barn Kids (of course). I looked at more modern cribs, but the Pottery Barn furniture felt more stable. The dresser alone weighs about 1,000 lbs. Ask my dad!
The bedding is also Pottery Barn. I think it's super cute.
My parents found the really soft 100% wool rug at Costco of all places. It was 1/3 of the price of the one we bought for the Living Room and, though I hate to admit it, way softer. Darn Costco; always coming up with good merchandise.
The chair is one we had in Berkeley, purchased from the Crate and Barrel outlet on 4th Street. We never sat in it in our old apartment, but it is a super comfy chair.
The bookshelf is that IKEA one everyone has, left over from our San Diego loft living. We bought a few baskets and my sister made the basket liners. Aren't they great? My mom and I found the fabric in Napa. It's Amy Butler "Midwest Modern." My sister gathered hundreds of books for Lucie all during my pregnancy. We read to Lucie every night. The books were the best present. Thanks Aunt Megan!
After a whole weekend of buying fabric and figuring out how to make the curtains ourselves, my mom purchased some plain canvas ones from Pottery Barn Kids instead. Way easier! My sister and mom embellished the curtains with the same Amy Butler fabric and a little ricrack. They are perfect!
The wallpaper is from Hyyge and West. I love it on the ceiling, though I am nervouse that it may be a bit distracting for Lucie when she's older and trying to fall asleep. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
My friend Camille got Lucie the ceramic birds over her changing table, also from Hygge and West. They are so precious, but I was told that they will need to move to a new location once Lucie can start grabbing objects. You live and learn...
The bunny mobile is a Flensted (Danish! woot!) from Giggle.
The wall art is from kitty genius via etsy. I love her work and it's really original looking for a nursery. I want to get more of her prints for our bedroom.
The final touch are the window boxed that Travis hung outside her window and planted with some sort of daisy. Since her view is of the side yard, the flowers make it much nicer. We also put translucent film on the upper portion of the windows to block the view to the house next door.
I think that's it. Don't you think it's a really cute room?
