Our First Place: Logan's Nursery

I should have known that once the baby was here, I wouldn't have time to write this post. Blood, sweat and tears (of joy) but here it is! Before we found out we were pregnant, Keith sanded and restained the floors which was truly a labor of love. We knew eventually this would be a nursery so we carefully worked on this room and turned Keith's man cave into a nursery for baby.

Here's an overall view on the room from the door. Too bad I can't get the whole room into one shot. Here you get a glimsp of the shiny refinished floors.

The quilt was made by my best friend Mary's mom. The floral and dot fabric are both from Amy Butler purchased through Fabric Worm. The gray and blue fabric were chosen by her mom from the fabric store to match. The quilt made such a beautiful addition to the crib especially since we didn't purchase bedding. The crib sheet is from Babies R Us and the crib skirt is from Amazon.

The glider was a hand me down from my sister in law from when she had her children. Instead of a solid color, I chose the gray and white chevron patterned fabric to make the room more fun! The fabric was purchased through Etsy from seller Hodi and Poppi. I spent $40. If you rememeber, the side table was purchased from a thrift store for $3.40 and we spray painted it a gumball red. We spent more on spray paint than we did on the table itself. I love how it turned out.

The chandelier and the shag rug is from Overstock. Also, seen here is the DIY "stenciled" wall that I painted by hand in a scallop pattern. Keith also put up crown moulding and the chair rail for detail.

Red frame from TJ Maxx. I like the swirl pattern in it. As you can tell I wasn't going for any particular theme. I was more interested in textures and patterns which "they" say is good for babies. Wooden blocks were made by Keith's dad back when he and his sisters were babies.

Print from Etsy. It's called "Rainy Day Love" by Rosy Designs Online. $20.

The shelves are from Christmas Tree Shoppe. They were the cheapest price (and quality), but it works for decor in a nursery that would be temporary and isn't holding up anything really heavy. The brown leather "B" is from Marshall's/HomeGoods. The silver "123" and "abc" book ends are from TJ Max.

DIY Origami mobile. This was just some fishing line, a piece of flexible gold wire and 3 cranes which I folded from scrapbooking paper from JoAnn's. Keith has a love of birds and flight, so this was my way of working that into the nursery. Plus, I think it's way cooler than a mobile purchased from the store which I'm told is now a "no no" for babies...that and crib bumpers.

Keith's grandma's cross.

DIY yarn letters. I meant to hang these on the wall behind the crib but have yet to figure out how. Our walls are plaster, so it just makes things a little trickier. We'll work on that.
