Curious to see how nursery #2 is turning out?
I think, if I could choose anything to do forever, it would be designing nurseries and little kid rooms. I just really think it’s fun. And I love to spend as little money as possible while doing it. O was in this room until about 6 months ago, still using this crib as a toddler bed (it has a convertible rail). We reused all of his furniture, painted the room ourselves and only bought the rug, lamp, hamper and some sheets new. That’s pretty good, considering O’s room had an entirely different color scheme, don’t you think? I think you can buy flexible reusable basics for nurseries to reuse with all your kids without necessarily making everything gender neutral. It just takes a little advance planning!
Anyway, when we first moved into this house last year, this room (which is pretty tiny) had a really weird closet in it. The people who used to live here must have REALLY liked to hang things up. I’m more of a shelf person myself. But this closet took up the entire corner of the tiny room and made the leftover space into a really weird and difficult to use T-shape. There are french doors on one wall and ANOTHER closet (this one oddly tiny) on the other so there was basically only the wall adjacent to the door to put furniture on. And then this cavernous closet with a single hanging bar. Luckily the closet was installed in front of the pretty historic baseboards so we had our handyman take it out and it was instantly soooo much better. See what I mean? (An aside, why do you suppose this closet contains TWO sets of electrical outlets and a cable jack??)
I’ll leave it up to you to guess which things I made for the room, you’ll find out in the next couple weeks! But I had a lot of fun doing it. Stay tuned for tons of cute and easy nursery diys!
