This nursery was initially designed as a gender neutral nursery as the client was in the process of adopting a baby and wasn't sure if she was going to get a baby boy or a baby girl. Once a birth mother was selected and we found out she was having a girl, we added sweet feminine touches to make a sophisticated french inspired nursery. The client loves Paris and everything French and the rest of her home reflects her love of french decor, so the theme for the nursery was evident! We selected 100% dupioni silk bedding, chose beautiful French themed nursery wall art and added sweet gems and jewels to the nursery wall hanging and canvases. The pink poodle rocking animal was a fun and playful touch and the mocha crystal nursery chandelier is accented with a hand made chandelier ceiling medallion that says "Anything is Possible"...a phrase the mom-to-be used during one of our conversations about her adoption process. I found that quite fitting for this wonderful love story!

This nursery was the first room I really designed and was truly a labor of love! My mom and I created almost everything ourselves...the rest of the items were ordered on Etsy. I really like unique items and tried to stear clear of mass produced nursery bedding and decor. I originally chose the owl theme thinking how unique it was, but quickly found out how popular owl decor is now!
I originally wanted to paint the room a bright aqua color, but then I found a wall decal that I loved and wanted to showcase that. Not sure if you can tell from the pictures but I had the ceiling painted a pale blue color instead. I am open to any suggestions and/or questions! Thanks for looking at my space! :

This nursery was a big DIY and turned out great! The artwork is a transportation theme, but can be switched out with anything you like. The wainscoting makes the room feel so finished. More details are at http://janette.drost.ca/2012/03/calebs-nursery/.

This room was put together over the course of a year and with a very small budget (less than $800 total. Every inch of the room was painted during my pregnancy with my third child. The furniture was reused from our son's nursery, Craigslisted, or diy-ed. If there was anything that could be reused, refashioned, re-imagined, it was. This tiny 8.5' x 11' was a labor of love. Our daughter enjoys her room very much and most things are just her size. You can see more of this transformation at the blog, DecorumDIYer.wordpress.com : http://wp.me/p12yAb-wO

This nursery for our baby boy Avery was inspired by the mirrored changing table . This room is a simple yet elegant space which will be easily transformed to a toddler space in a few years.

This is the nursery for our soon-to-be adopted newborn son Silas. It was a labor of love to decorate and was done on a very small budget. The room is about 100 sf so we had to get creative with space planning! We used paint and the addition of stipes as an inexpensive way to transform the room. We thought the stripes would give the room movement and make the space feel bigger. We welcome any comments on how to enhance the space.

I knew I was going to help my daughter with the crib, but I ended up taking it to the max when we created this beautiful nursery for my brand new grandson, Cayden. We obtained most of the pieces from Craigslist. We had looked at alot of baby furniture before we bought and she knew she wanted the Cocoala Turtle as her theme. I sanded all the pieces and painted them with the non-toxic primer and paint I got at Sherwin-Williams. We ended up having two pieces that were Italian made, the crib and changing table and they matched well. We also bought a used glider and footstool that the previous owners had purchased at Babies R Us. She wanted all the furniture painted black and the checkerboard room was designed by her, painted by me. It all came together so well, and the pictures don't even do the room justice, because it is a small space. The baskets came with liners, but we chose material that matched the theme. I took the liners apart and used them as patterns to create the new matching liners as I did with the cushions of the glider and the changing table fitted sheet pad. The entire room costs us less than $500 and I believe we saved at least $1000 on this room if not more.

Three years ago, the minute we got the keys to our house, we had a bobcat in the backyard removing an ugly swimming pool. The weather in this area of Northern California doesn't warrant the upkeep and cost of a pool--never gets as hot as inland areas and if it does, marine layer cools us off in the evening. Six months later we re-landscaped and we ended up with a backyard we can enjoy year round--large stamped concrete patio with pergola--vines for shade; play area; grass & garden area. Half wall divides space and can be used for extra seating.

Our screen porch is a place where we can go to enjoy the Summer Breeze. The majority of items on the porch were purchased at estate sales and flea markets or on a clearance. Then I painted and/or recovered and repurposed my purchases for enjoyment. I even painted the wording shown above. To view more, go to my blog: http://theredpaintedcottage.blogspot.com and that in turn will have a link to my etsy store where you can view some of my paintings.

This was our spare room. We found out it was a girl and decided to decorate it ourselves. The diamonds were the most difficult part but now that it's done, we think it's beautiful!!!

I wanted a nursery that my daughter could sleep and play in but that I enjoyed being in as well. This space is something she can grow in. I love coming in here because its just so comfy! The furniture is pottery barn and partially inspired the decor. All of the paint is Ethos but matched to Benjamin Moore colors. The wall paint is Pink Cherub, the ceiling is candy stripe, the wall behind the crib, animals and polka dots are Kona. The hot pink accents on the mural are rhododendron. I found images for the mural from etsy and then projected them on the wall and traced them and painted them. The pom poms are from etsy as well. The glider is used but I found slipcovers online for $200 so now its Ivory! The shelves are from Home Depot. If you have additional questions as to where I got something, just let me know :
