I mentioned before that Keira’s nursery came together with a mix of splurges, bargains and DIY projects, and for this last post I’m highlighting 2 of the DIY projects.

Dresser

This was a super simple DIY! Find a simple white dresser with clean lines, replace the boring knobs with some chic brass hardware and voila!

Custom Artwork

This project takes a little more time, but is still super simple. Start with craft feathers (I used white and pink), dip the tip of each feather in gold metallic paint paint (we know how I like anything gold dipped), and then sprinkle gold glitter on top. Once the feathers are dry, frame them and you have your own custom one-of-a-kind artwork!

Well that officially wraps up the mini-series on Keira’s nursery. Hopefully you enjoyed it and got a little bit of inspiration along the way.

Coming soon are new installments of the Here & Now series, a host of new trend posts and a brand new series I’m starting this year.

Ciao for now…

As promised, I’m back with more details on Keira’s nursery. Last post I highlighted some of the key large pieces in the room, but we all know that they key making a room feel put together is the styling.

Lucky for us, many of the cute pieces in the room were gifts from friends and family, but you really don’t have to spend a ton of money to add some personality to a space.

Piggy Bank – Tiffany & Co. | Corduroy – Amazon

Sleep Sheep – Amazon

Bird & Feather Prints – One King’s Lane (no longer available); Frames & Mats – Aaron Brothers

Circo Mobile – Target

Frame – Cost Plus World Market (in store only) | Picture – my Princess Keira 🙂

Well, that’s all for now. I have just one final post about the nursery that I’ll share over the weekend. Hope you’re enjoying it.

Okay, so after many months of promising to share pics of Keira’s nursery, I’m finally doing it. I’m super pleased with how the room turned out. Between a couple of splurges, quite a bit of bargain hunting and some DIY projects, I was able to complete the space and come in under my $3000 budget… hooray!

I wanted a room that was feminine but not too girly or young. The color palette consisted primarily of various shades of pink (but NOT pink walls), white, grey and gold as that perfect sophisticated accent.

The wall color (Mauve Morning by BEHR; The Home Depot) creates a calming ambiance that really grounds the room. Surprisingly my husband picked the color (well, he selected it out of the 3 swatches I put on the wall).

Here are details on some of the key products in the room.
