With this nursery I wanted more of an eclectic, rustic, modern feel. Unfortunately, the whole eclectic style isn't my strength and my instincts tend to gravitate towards more matchy-matchy...so this room is a little more "matchy-matchy", a little more orange and blue than I'd like but overall I'm pretty pleased. Not exactly what I envisioned but most of my projects rarely are.

| Mobiles: made from embroidery hoops that I stained and strips of card stock sewn together Ceramic Feathers: Target, I painted them white Owl: made by my mother-in-law to match the quilt Fox: IKEA Lamp: Target (not exactly the right blue but my DIY on this one failed!) |
And then there's this adorable little fox canvas my sweet friend Brooke made for me. When she contacted me and asked me if she could make something for baby N's nursery I was so excited!!!! We collaborated on what it should be and when she dropped this little guy at my house I couldn't believe how cute he was! I think it's Kash's favorite part of the room too! He always walks in and talks about how the fox has a bird on his tail ha ha. Check out Brooke's etsy shop!

I LOVE THIS POST Erica! & I Love his nursery oh SO much! And thanks for giving me a shout out ;) If you need any other future paintings let me know. Your paintings will always be free! Question: How do you do your picture collages with the cute graphics? I love those too! Btw I would love to paint a painting for Kash :)
...And sorry I said 'love' so many times! Haha
So so cute Erica I love it! He's one lucky baby boy!
I love everything about this room! it turned out so good. I really dig the N on the pallets!
You have such good taste and style!! I never could come up with such an awesome room, seriously you have a gift!!! So cute and your little man is lucky to have such an awesome mama.
What a great nursery! Love the blues & oranges! That monogrammed sign is awesome! Yes, I have the same question. How did you do the pics on the gallery wall?
Thanks everyone! I had fun creating this room for our new little boy! I create the collages in Illustrator, but I know you can do them in Photoshop, Picasa or even Powerpoint. Hopefully that helps!
This is a beautiful nursery. Great work.
I wish I could point you to a link to get a similar blessing outfit like my son's, but it was bought years ago at Baby Gap and I'm not sure where you could find a similar one. Good luck and congratulations on your new little one!
WOW. You are amazing! I love everything in this room. You are so creative! Hope everything went well this week and can't wait to see pics of your new little one!
Hi!
I love your idea with the wood fence boards and the giant letter! Can you give me any steps or advice on how to make it? How did you attach the fence boards together and then how did you hang it onto the walls?
Any help would be great!
Thanks!
Thanks Kathleen! I created the "N" palat using fence posts from Lowes. I stained them and cut them to the lengths I wanted. I connected them all by nailing each post to a horizontal post on the back. I then nailed two nails in the back and tied wire onto the nails so I could hang it on the wall. It's pretty heavy so I used a "Hercules Hook" to make sure it would stay on the wall. Let me know if this answers your question!
