...At Home: The Nursery (2 of 2)...

My favourite part of decorating a room is pulling it all together with the "extras"... these are the pieces that tell the story for a space, and make it not just a room, but a place that exhibits a certain feel I am looking for!

The rest of Jets room came together with bits and pieces, (old and new) from all over the place. This tree stump was a pinterest project I decided to take on when i found a whole bunch of old stumps in our back shed;I think it turned out beautifully, and it can definitely be used in other parts of the house in years to come....

Crib linens was next on the agenda, and what a nightmare it was.... searching for something that fit my taste, and didn't cost a fortune, proved to be quite the challenge..... and left me resorting to making my own...... yikes..... I got a sewing machine for Christmas, and figured the only way I would get what I wanted was to make it; surprisingly it didn't turn out too bad!!! It was my first sewing project, and a good place to start in terms of learning; I mean don't get me wrong, I am not going to be opening a store on etsy to sell the stuff, the finishing was not top notch, but it did the job for my liking, and fit in with the decor perfectly!!

This dresser was a find off kijiji.... a couple in Edmonton have a business called The Forgotten Drawer , basically they purchase antique pieces and recondition them; the piece we chose is a deep blue color and came with gorgeous original pulls.

This picture wall is a combination of old and new..... I scrounged up a couple of the pieces from thrift and antique stores, and the rest were purchases from Homesense.... it brought together the vintage feel I was looking for in the space, and allowed me to showcase some of my special moments from my pregnancy and Jets first days at home.

...here are a few more snapshots of the final addition to the room, shelving for some very special gifts, from very special people in Jets life...

I adored putting this room together, it is everything I imagined my newborn baby space to be... light, airy, and dream like; a comfortable place for my babe to sleep and nurse, and a comfortable place for Ryan and I to take care of our little one....

...til next time...xo...CS
