The baskets in the changing table I found at a local craft store and just covered them with my fabric using a hot glue gun and coordinating ribbons. I basically wanted a Pottery Barn-type nursery on a budget! (Try these options from Target for a similar look.)
The wall border was just painted on. We taped off the lines and painted the stripes, and used two different size circle stencils for the dots.
I love really simple, clean looks and I love polka dots. I found the dot and striped fabric at a local discount fabric warehouse. I made all of the bedding, recovered the rocker and made the lampshade. My husband made the window treatment (not shown). It is just a piece of foam board that I hot glued the fabric onto and added some ribbon. My tips for moms to be: find a pattern or color scheme you like and go from there. Be creative, you don’t have to spend a lot of money or be a great seamstress to make your own nursery items. Find a couple of coordinating fabrics you like and work from there! (Take a look at these fabrics from Fabric.com!)
Congratulations to Briar and her husband who welcomed baby Jack in late February!
