Nursery Details

I did my best to pick apart the pieces of the nursery to let you know where they all came from… if I left anything out that you were wondering about, leave a comment and I’ll try to update this post as quickly as possible =)

I put asterisks {**} next to everything I hope to talk more about in a future post or write a tutorial on, depending on the time permitting before our baby boy gets here!

**Nightstand & Dresser: both are mine from college, also painted with the amazing chalk paint in Duck Egg Blue and Old White

{I didn’t think to take a picture of these 2 pieces till I had already painted the nightstand and taken out 2 drawers from the dresser. The super messy picture below is of the guest bedroom being taken apart to become the nursery – if you look through the mess you can see the nightstand “before”!}

  2. Yayy! I'm so glad you did this post. What a transformation from guest room to nursery. And I have to say, I was very surprised at how much of the nursery you designed and made yourself. I had expected lots of pricey pieces because the room just looks so AWESOME!! What a relief to know I'm not the only one who loves to be thrifty!:)
