I already shared my old baby's room with you. This is my new baby's room. I love this room! The biggest thing you should know about this room is that it was decorated on a very low budget. I would have loved to get all new furniture, but that wasn't an option, and since the furniture is on it's last leg, I knew I wasn't going to be using it for too long, therefore chose not to paint it (otherwise I would have.)
I painted the monogram and airplane on the wall...
I added a little monkey flying the plane and a couple of birds above, as per my aunt's advice.
I LOVE having my 'designer aunt, Amy' visit. She came up with a plan for the bedding and my aunt, my mother and I went shopping for the material. My mother actually did most of the sewing work: whipping up the bedding, the window panels, the table topper & completely recovered my chair & ottoman. I LOVE having my mom visit too! No lie, when she plans a trip, I find 'work' for her. Sometimes it's painting, but most often it's sewing. I can sew, she just does it SEW MUCH BETTER and quicker too. Most of the material is from Joann Fabrics. Some is from Walmart.
I found this rug at Ross. I love the zebra print!
Love this little man! what a stud!
All the frames in this room are from Walmart and were super inexpensive. The photo's in the frames are, of course, of my little man. I loved these photo's and wanted to make the red wagon "pop", so using photoshop, I did just that. I also gave the photo a vintage look. These photos aren't even printed on photo paper, I just printed them out with my laser printer on regular paper. (bet you would of never known that, huh?)
Here's a couple more Walmart frames and photo's printed on regular paper. Love this little man! what a stud!
These photo's are his newborn pics. I made the plaque with his name on it. Simply painted a piece of board, painted some letters that I found at Joann's and hot glued them on and hung it with ribbon. The shelf is from Ross (I gave it a coat of glaze.) I just love this cute little puppy dog too! (my baby actually sleeps with this puppy every night.)
and a fun little green frog to stand out.To dress up the room a bit, without spending much money, I had to use some creative thinking. Like for instance:
This baby box was a neon green color (but a great price at Ross.) So I gave it some paint and a coat of glaze. I talked about glazing in my Childrens' Art Board post. The sweet little teddy bear is one that my boys have had for a while now. To make him "go" in the room, I simply gave him a little addition with ribbon.
I already had this lamp, but wanted to make the shade a little more 'kiddish' so I glued trim around the edge. This lamp was on sale at Homegoods. The base was cream colored. I gave it some paint and I glued ribbon around the top and the bottom of this shade.
Here's one last look at my NEW baby's room:
I just love sitting in this room. It makes me :)
May you be a little inspired!

I have never seen a black and white nursery, but it's classy. I'm working on a black and white room, too.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Your mom is talented. Hooray for great moms! Your newest follower... hope you can visit me sometime soon!
ReplyDeleteI love all the inexpensive touches you added to the room. And this is the second time I've heard of that Ross store...I don't think I have one nearby, sounds like a great store! Thanks so much for linking up to Terrific Under Ten!
