A few months back even before she was born I submitted some photos of her nursery to Oh Dee Oh, a web-blog about home, design, and children. Now that she is almost 5 months old, she gets her very first feature. This is very exciting--I'm so proud of this project and I want nothing more then to share it with the world.
Since we spend so much time in there, I'm glad it is such a calm place, but yet has the right amount of stimulating elements that is needed in a nursery for a child to thrive. The husband and I put a lot of thought into how we wanted it. Everything would have to have a purpose.
The peacock decals over the crib? It's best for safety reasons to not put anything over the crib because it can fall and injure a baby lying in there. The decals look kind of like a crest or something. Someday I may get a tattoo of a peacock and have the letter R next to it =).
We selected 6 different shades of FLOR tiles in two different textures, so when little Raffy is lying on the floor she'll be able to feel the differences in the textures.
The drapes were homemade. I bought plain white sheets from target and added moss green ribbon to give it some dimension. I used the sheets instead of buying fabric by the yard because since the sheets already had finished seams, it saved me time from having to sew every single seam.
Some other things we did that aren't shown in the photograph was the magnetic chalkboard on the closet door. Bought magnetic paint and chalkboard paint, it was that easy. We also had my father in law build a bench/cubby thing (similar to the Land of Nod toy box), painted it pink and inside a contrasting lime green. We store toys, books, and blankets in it.
