When we set to working on her nursery we knew we didn't want it to be total cookie cutter. We wanted it to be simple and warm with DIY elements and personalized touches from local or etsy artists.
Truth be told, Tim had to reel me in several times because I wanted to go overboard....so many ideas, so little space!
We had the artwork on the left in the picture below custom made by one of our favorite Etsy artists. It normally is made to say "I love the shit out of you" which we were all about and then suddenly when it came time to order we decided to opt for an alternative in case one day she asks what it says, haha.
I drew the one in the middle with some good ol' colored pencils and mounted it on sparkly silver card stock. We love us some Monsters Inc.
The one on the right is a small print from another Etsy artist.
This painting below was done on a thin canvas by an artist who sells her work at Pike's Place Market in Seattle. It's hard to tell in the photo but it has some cute glittery accents.
These horseshoes were snagged on our recent trip to Mt. Hood, Oregon. They had some other embellishments that we removed to make it just how we wanted it.
We just picked this air plant and the bowl from West Elm. We're all about some low maintenance greenery.
Owls are super adorable right? The one on the right was snagged at a cute children's boutique in Seattle, but was made by some Alberta Street locals in Portland, Oregon.
Scrap book paper + ikea picture frames = cheap art for baby to look at while on the changing table.
These hearts came with other colored hearts on a string of garland. We just broke it down and then hung a few of our favorites with fishing line above the lounge chair, kind of like a mobile for baby girl to look at.
The bookshelves that I forgot to take a picture of and am too lazy to go photograph right now are just cheapy Ikea spice racks that we painted in grey and green. Can't wait for story time with the little one <3
