Chevron Nursery Reveal

Ok, so I know.  I'm a little late doing this but I'm super excited to finally be able to show you Baby Allie's nursery. I'm pretty proud of it.  I put it together with the help of my mom and sister which makes it that much more of a special place. 

Throughout the past few months, I've given you glimpses of the projects that we did in there.  First it was the pillows for the crib.  I fell in love with chevron long before A was ever a thought.  In fact, I bought the rug about two years ago when we moved in so I knew I wanted to be able to use it.

 Then there was the art work.  I wanted to make sure to include E in the process whenever we could and he really enjoyed painting.

And all of that went into the nursery.  I bought the furniture and crib but the room was already painted from when we moved in.  That was the color scheme I chose back then.  Maybe..deep down I knew that one day a little girl would reside there. 

After all the work we finally had a nursery fit for a little girl.

• The curtains came from Target.  They are supposed to be blackout but they aren't.  They do, however, give the room a nice yellow glow when the sun out.
• The Rocker, which was reupholstered came from Babies'r'us.  It's the rocker we had in E's room.  There's a better picture of the fabric below which I found at OnlineFabricStore dot com
• The Rug came from Urban Outfitters.  I know..who knew?!

 E's artwork is on the right.  The "M" I made using the Silhouette Cutting Machine, some vinyl and a $6 mirror from Michaels.

The three art pieces in the picture below came from the Etsy shop: Paper Plane Prints

Here's a little more:
The Owl art and Chevron Initials were made by my sister and I. We bought the canvas at Michaels when they were 50% so I think all four pieces cost $30.

The Chevron Quilt and crib sheet came from Pottery Barn Kids

The Chevron Crib Skirt was made by me but I bought the fabric at Hobby Lobby.

You can kind of see the fabric on the rocker here. 

 I would say..all in all it turned out pretty well.  I'm especially proud of all the personal touches that went into it.  Hope she grows up to appreciate it all.

So there you have it...all the DIY skills, as limited as they are..all displayed in A's room.  Maybe it will help you plan for your little one's nursery.

Have you ever done any DIY stuff?  Do you have a favorite part of the room?
