Teal? Whimsical? Animals… and a few mushrooms? So the theme may have gotten away from me, but this nursery has been such a joy to decorate. My only rules for myself were to keep it colorful, keep it fun, and keep it on budget. That’s why for the past several weeks, we’ve been DIY-ing like…

DIY GIANT PEGBOARD WALL SHELF
I swear to you guys- when I told Tyler I wanted to hang a pegboard over the dresser in the nursery he looked at me like I’d finally lost my baby brain marbles. He doesn’t spend much time on Pinterest except to look at garage things, so I’m sure he was picturing a standard shop…
A FEW MINI NURSERY PROJECTS
We have been keeping busy with lots of mini projects in the nursery! Now that we’re super close to finishing up, I thought I’d update here. If I don’t, my nursery room tour post might be 6 years long and who really wants to hear about our outlet choices during a room tour?? First up…
CHOOSING A PAINT COLOR FOR THE NURSERY
Choosing a paint color for a room is one of the hardest parts of redecorating. We picked up dozens of teal paint swatches for the new nursery to compare to my nursery “mood board”. Comparing a color online vs. on a chip vs. on the wall and then vs. the whole painted wall in various…
DIY MODERN GEOMETRIC FLOOR LAMP FOR THE NURSERY
If you saw our last post about nursery inspiration, you’ll remember the mood board I made for Baby #2’s nursery. Gracing this mood board was an exceptionally beautiful tripod lamp from Target. It was everything I wanted except for the fact that it was expensive… too expensive for our nursery budget. I mean- it was…
HOW WE’RE PLANNING THE NEW NURSERY + INSPIRATION PICTURES
While I’m sitting here in the nursery staring at four different paint swatches on the wall, I thought it’d be fun to share our nursery planning process. I’ve been allll over the place deciding on a theme for the new room. For C’s room, I knew exactly what I wanted to do right away. This…
C’S TRANSPORTATION THEMED TODDLER ROOM TOUR
Here we are again! It seems like we just decorated C’s woodland themed nursery. C turned two in March and, yeah, I’m still reeling over it! Baby boys grow into toddler guys and now it’s all about planes, trains, and automobiles! C has been fascinated by trains for quite some time now. He will line…
OUR FAVORITE NURSERY ITEMS THAT LAST THROUGH TODDLER YEARS
It feels like just yesterday I was sitting here writing about C’s nursery transformation. But now that C has turned 2, things are changing big time in his room! While a lot of baby things are moving next door to the new nursery, there are a few things that we wouldn’t dream of moving because…
TODDLER BEDROOM BOOKSHELVES
Saturday mornings at our house are usually busy with odd jobs and small projects. A week or so ago, I took a trip to IKEA with my best friend and picked up three of the BEKVÄM spice racks for $4.99 each! Well, they’re called spice racks, but I’ve seen them more commonly used as bookshelves….
COZY GRAY WOODLANDS NURSERY TOUR
When we moved into our house, all four bedrooms remained relatively untouched apart from some hand-me-down furniture and a couple of framed pictures of our dog, Murphy. After finding out we were pregnant (!) about a year later, we decided to do a total nursery room overhaul! Our whole house was/still mostly is a terribly…
