“The room was originally crib storage and playroom. Then we found out we were having a baby and she was a girl! We started with builder’s yellow (lol not beige), and I had one piece of inspiration: a vintage looking notecard in light shades of pink, cream, and black lace. I chose two shades of pink, and my hubby and I measured out and traced pencil lines (next time I am using chalk instead) for the thick stripes. I couldn’t find any bedding in the colours I wanted – it was either black and white or pink and brown – so my mom helped make the crib bedding. I designed and hubby built the change table. The little birds on the black shelves were originally blue and I spray painted them black. The lamp on the side table is a work in progress – I have been weaving ribbon in the base, and there are about 25 yards in there so far. We added some glitz and glam with the chrome and crystal chandelier and the cut crystal finials on the curtain rod. I also added the thick black ribbon at the base of the curtains for some additional interest!”

So here is the before:

Kristal just completed the cutest nursery. The color is so soothing and the accents are just so precious. Here is her post but you can get more details at her blog, Good Food Good Friends Good Life…
