A Blue Nursery Alongside A Bike Mural

When Audrey sent us her insanely sweet nursery makeover we could not wait to share the goods. Here is her letter:

I truly enjoy reading your journal and thought I’d shoot you folks a before and after that I have gotten some good feedback on my journal for! I know you folks are suckers for a good before and after, so I hope you enjoy this one. It is a nursery that I did for my sister – she’s due in a few months with a little boy, but on modified bedrest so cannot do much in the way of creating a nursery. I am a commercial interior designer by trade, but I thought I’d take a stab at some interior “decorating” and whip up this nursery for her (with the assist of my family members) during a weekend visit. I hope you folks enjoy! Some tidbits about the makeover:

• We were certainly on a budget, so nearly everything was from Ikea or Target, sans the new ceiling fan and glidder from Babies R Us.
• The paint color we used (blue) was Valspar – 5001-5B, High Noon – and low VOC for baby on the way.
  
• We did the bike mural by borrowing an overheard projector from my sister’s school (middle school teacher) and projecting a bike image up on the wall that we found online. I traced this bad boy with a white paint pen and then filled in with some ceiling white paint.
• The before picture was from before they moved in, so please excuse the heinous floral bedding and lacy window treatments.
  

Keep up the good work! – Audrey

We are suckers for a good before and after! And this one’s especially delicious. Here is the granny-inspired before picture:

And the amazingly adorable afters:

Is not Audrey’s nursery makeover inspiring? It is crisp and cute and oh so lively. And you know we are crazy about that bike mural, right? That is one lucky baby (and sister for that matter)!
