Baby Nook - Final

Here are pics of the baby nook. It is located in the corner of our bedroom. We have a 1 bedroom apartment. It works for us. When G was about 4 months old we started moving him (after he fell asleep) into our living room to sleep in his travel crib for the night. We have continued that to this day. He takes all his naps in his crib here in the baby nook.

Crazy fun animals the gals from my shower made for baby G.

This is a bookshelf converted into a closet. His clothes are hanging behind the curtain. The stripped curtain is actually a duvet cover that I folded in half. When G gets older he can use it as a duvet cover.

"Tweet" and "Hoot" birds on top of cabinet made by Brent's mom (Marmee), "Now I lay me down to sleep" cross stitch by the late Nanny Neal, and Grant Prayer Sign by cousin Becca Daniel.

Since I wanted to do a woodland animals theme for his nook I thought trees would be fitting. I created this wall covering with a little inspiration from Dwell Studio. I used 4 huge white foam poster boards, lots of brown and green foam sheets and even more hot glue. To see more things I create click here.

His bumper was also a duvet cover that I seam ripped then sewed together to create a bummer cover.

It has stripes on the other side.

This mobile is from Brent's dad (Grandee). It is made with tiny frisbees.

It has been so helpful to have a musical mobile over the changing table.

The painting is something I did our first year of marriage.

Baby Nook Sneak Peek

I have been planning and dreaming about this little space for our baby for months now. It is almost finished. I am so excited and I think it is going to turn out just as I have hoped. I have been sewing, hammering, screwing, and cleaning. Brent graciously put together the crib and the changing table.

Woodland Theme

I really like www.etsy.com I have found some super cute ideas for the baby nook. I wanted to share some of the pics with you.

Baby Nook Planning

Imagine with me. The colors we want to use are: green, yellow, blue, orange, and turquoise. All bright colors. The theme will be wilderness animals but with an artsy twist. Animals like bear, raccoon, fox, owl, moose, etc. Some items we like are below.

This crib bedding is very cute from Ikea. But the problem is they do not have sheets of this print. Only duvet covers and pillow cases.

This quilt is adorable but we would try to find one with only wilderness animals, if possible. It is from Crate and Barrel kids line - The Land of Nod.

This rug is also from Ikea. As you can tell some of the animals are not wilderness but I love how they outlined the animals instead of giving them a lot of detail.

Somehow it will all come together. It all starts with vision, right? I'll let you in on other ideas as I find them.
