A Perfect Nursery.

Remember my friend Shellilee and her amazing trellis wall that had us all in awe? Well, today I'm back to share some more of her diy skills. This time it's a whole room, an adorable nursery for her Baby M, who will soon be making her arrival!



The crib is from Sears and the blanket was made with Flatiron Coral by Tonic Living.


The bookshelves were made by her husband using three pieces of wood and attaching them to the wall. Love how many books she has already. Can you tell Mom is teacher? :)




Love the map of Canada!


My personal favorite thing in the room is the mobile. So sweet. Apparently, it was a tedious job to sew and to hang. Worth it, if you ask me!


The artwork in the room is all free printables, fabric and old cards. 
She made the butterfly print with paint chips and a butterfly punch. The wall color is A Touch of Gray.


The chair and the change table were up-cycled with a fresh coat of white paint by her Dad. 
I love the fabric on the chair and the sweet little pillows. The rug was made using old sheets, which she braided and her Mom sewed together. What a great team!


I was so excited when Shellilee sent me the photos.
I think it's absolutely perfect and need to get over and see it in person. 
Baby M is a lucky little girl!

Thanks Shellilee!

  2. This is adorable, love all the soft colors. My fave part would be the DIY shelves, the book covers become part of the art and color in the room which is a nice bonus :)
