A Peaceful Gray & White Nursery: a house log

Nancy’s room for her son Owen is a strong example of how a nursery or kids room can be cool and sophisticated while still being playful and lively. Which is fairly excellent, especially when the price tag is a mere three hundred beans. And since we get a bunch of folks asking for kids rooms, we could not wait to spill the pics along with Nancy’s note below:

Hey folks! I have been living in my home for four years now, and I at last chose it was time to decorate it. I began with my two year old son’s room, and now I am questioning why I did not start with my room first. I may simply have to kick him out.

His room evolved over the course of a few months as I chose what I hoped and did not. I spent a total of $305 to makeover his room thanks to doing my best to be crafty and resourceful (I certainly do not mind shopping at thrift stores).

To assist keep costs low, I made a lot of the items in his room myself, including the shelving, the curtains, the wood accent wall, his toys, his blankets and pillows, and most of his art work.

I painted his dresser, which was a dump rescue. The antique rocker was a Craigslist buy, and his crib was a baby shower gift from my father.

I am truly pleased with the end results, so tell me, do I get six YHL thumbs up? Here is hoping! -Nancy

Nancy, not only do you get six thumbs up, we will even throw in four Burger paws simply for those excellent chevron-gradient curtains and that cool accent wall alone. So let us call it an even 10. There are more pics of the reveal on Nancy’s journal plus a source list chock full of links to all of her Hands-on-ed items for ya, but first let us play the go-to part game. Sherry is all. over. that. dresser. And I sort of want to steal that little gold whale.
