Woo to the hoo. We finally finished the nursery! And at just four weeks before the beanette’s estimated arrival (although we’re sure she’s gonna be late) we’re beyond excited to have a cheerful and functional room waiting for her. It definitely has come a long way from the blank canvas that we started with:
And that closet. Let’s just say it was one of our major challenges when it came to storage space, function, organization and all that good stuff:
Luckily we were able to introduce a ton of stash space thanks to a crib with a large built-in drawer, a generously sized double dresser (snagged on Craigslist for just $20), an already owned storage ottoman, and a side table with retrofitted basket “drawers.” Plus adding a padded bench with a large toy bin slipped under it (two more things we already had on hand) gave us even more spots to tuck toys, clothes, books, and everything else that comes with having a wee one. Oh and did we mention that the room is only 8′ x 10.5′? Yup, it’s the smallest room in the house (except for the bathrooms). But without further ado, the big baby-tastic after pics:
We had so much fun hunting down deals like this playful $50 aqua capiz chandelier from a local lighting outlet (which casts so many fun shadows on the ceiling for Baby P to enjoy).
And DIYing our own no-sew curtains with some cheerful printed fabric allowed us to create a much more balanced and grand look on a wall that formerly boasted a small-ish window that was off to the side (we’re all about cheating windows with curtains so they look centered). Is there nothing that a set of high and wide fabric panels can’t solve?
Bringing in the former side table from our guest bedroom (originally from Target) creates a nice spot for a glass of water, a reading lamp and some books. And the super insane coincidence was realizing that some woven baskets that we already owned slipped perfectly into the side table’s open shelves to create two basket “drawers” (which offer up even more room to house books and toys out of view- anything to keep the clutter factor to a minimum!). And because the baskets are woven and don’t have any harsh pointy corners, we even think Baby P will be able to easily use them to put away her own toys when she gets older and a bit more mobile (which of course will be our cue to switch out the real plant on the table for something less dirt-riddled).
And we can’t forget about the super cozy sink-in-able bucket chair that we snatched up for just $20 at a thrift store. Paired with an already owned ottoman (topped with a homemade faux sheepskin rug) it creates a nice little feeding and reading corner that even Burger thinks is the bee’s knees.
We also love that we were able to place the chair next to the window so we can appreciate the natural light streaming in during the day, along with the view of our big green backyard (which is sometimes accentuated by a playful chihuahua on an intense bug hunting expedition). And isn’t that little wooden tree in the windowsill adorable? We got so many great baby gifts from friends and family, and the makers of this one (Plan Toys) are extremely eco conscious and use only the greenest materials and non-toxic dyes and glues.
Oh and we can’t forget how much the soft aqua ceilings (Mythic’s Adanna Aire in a flat finish) next to the crisp white molding and the pear green walls (Mythic’s Autumn Bloom in eggshell) transformed this formerly tan-walled guest room into a dreamier place for our little girl (read all about the painting process right here). Plus we figure she’ll constantly be gazing up at the ceiling when she’s in her crib, so it’s nice to know it’s sort of sky-reminiscent as opposed to plain old white.
Here’s a shot of the $20 Craigslist double dresser that we totally refinished (earning ourselves six generously sized drawers for storing everything from diapering supplies to clothes and even tiny socks, bibs, and other pint-sized accessories). And the wire and faux flower mobiles that we made to hang over the changing pad along with the DIY shelves built by my handy hubby really add kid-friendly function and form to the entire wall.
You might notice that small basket to the right of the dresser in the photo above. Well let’s zoom in, shall we?
It’s actually a cheap-o Ikea basket which we then lined with extra crib skirt fabric that we already had on hand. Bam- instant hamper for under $5. And we like how the lighter woven texture ties into the basket “drawers” in our makeshift side table under the window- and even the textured ottoman that we paired with our thrift store chair.
But back to the dresser for a minute. Remember when we lined the drawers? They definitely add a splash of happy to the space every time we slide them open to gaze at all the tiny outfits and accessories awaiting Baby P. Is there anything cuter than baby shoes?
Here’s a closer shot of the three-orb mobile that we crafted while parked in front of the TV one night for less than $12. We love how it gently sways above the changing pad and we have our fingers crossed that it’ll really come in handy once the beanette gets more wiggly and we have to keep her distracted while we hurriedly change her.
And here’s a detail shot of those lovely shelves that my manly man built with his own two hands (ok, and some power tools). We love that they’re constructed like long skinny wall mounted boxes to keep books from toppling down as they might on an open shelf. And we can easily switch out those books, frames, and toys to keep reinventing that wall as our baby girl grows.
And because we’ve heard that well ventilated rooms with fans can help when it comes to scary things like SIDS, we sprung for this vintage-looking turquoise charmer (by Deco Breeze in “sky”) which is just as easy on the eyes as it is functional. Plus we love the fact that small fingertips can’t fit past that protective wire cage.
But let’s swing over to that formerly sad little closet. We livened things up by painting the inside of it the same soft aqua color as the ceiling, hung a fabric curtain for some pattern and interest, and added a second hanging bar along with baskets, shelves, and boxes to store a lot more than we thought we ever could in that tiny enclave. Check out the whole closet transformation here.
And maybe I have to revise my “is there anything cuter than tiny baby shoes?”question. Because the answer might be “baby clothes.” Oh and we love that we were able to repurpose a hanging shoe organizer from Ikea as a caddy for everything from bibs to burp cloths and even tiny leggings.
Here’s a shot of our crib tucked into the corner to keep as much open rug space available for playtime as Baby P grows. We love that the crib we chose has that drawer built right in for even more storage space (it’s actually empty right now, along with the storage ottoman- which we think is a good sign since we’re sure to accumulate more stuff as we go). And we even got to whip up a no-sew crib skirt to the tune of just $14 to add texture and hide the formerly open space between the bottom of the mattress and the top of the drawer.
Here’s a close up of a super affordable Marshall’s mirror that we grabbed back when it was black. Reinventing it with some cheerful green paint and hanging it (extremely securely) across from the window allows it to bounce some nice light around the small room. And we figure between staring up at the blue ceiling, the aqua chandelier and this whimsical mirror while she’s in her crib, the beanette will have no shortage of places to peer while she dozes off.
And here’s our art wall which we recently refreshed with some under-one-dollar decorative craft paper, a few photos and prints that we already had, and two new pieces from Etsy and Wall Blank. We especially love the mixed and matched feeling of playfulness that it adds to the room (and the fact that we can switch things out whenever the urge strikes). Plus the asymmetrical arrangement makes it feel more fun and less formal, which seems fitting for Baby P’s cheerful pear and aqua nursery.
We already mentioned the old thrift store bench that we brought in with a bin of toys under it for more display and organization space in our modestly sized room. We really love how the soft celery color and the patterned upholstery fit right into the room without competing too much with the curtains. Talk about a happy accident since we redid that $7 bench over a year ago without ever knowing that it would someday be worked into our future nursery.
But back to our art wall for a moment. Here’s a closer shot of one of our favorite sentimental ideas. We’ll be placing the beanette’s hospital wristband in that chunky frame on the bottom (and until then we made our own little placeholder version). We also plan to create a paper silhouette of her sweet profile once she’s here (to match the one that we already have of her four-legged brother Burger). Gotta love some fun and easy personalization- especially when it’s free.
So that sums up our recent guest-bedroom-to-nursery makeover. And because we’re suckers for photo documentation, we glanced at this picture from the beginning of the project…
… and just knew that we had to replicate it a few months later now that the room is done:
There’s that belly shot so many of you have been requesting. The funny thing is that while I’m definitely bigger in the after shot than I was back in January when the first back-to-back picture was taken, it’s crazy to think that in it’s been three months since that photo and I haven’t grown all that much. I guess it’s safe to say that I popped early.
But enough bump chatter, let’s talk budget. We headed into the nursery makeover assuming we’d spend around $1500 (since we had absolutely nothing and needed lighting, paint, a chair, a dresser, a changing area, a crib, a rug, storage solutions, a closet makeover, a mirror, art, curtains, shelving, a mobile, and more). We arrived at that estimation since some simple online shopping revealed that even affordable places like Target charge around 1K for a crib, a dresser and a changing table (which doesn’t include other major items like a chair, a rug, lighting, art, shelves, etc). Of course we hoped to whip things together for less, but we always like to be realistic instead of overly optimistic when it comes to budgeting (since it feels a lot more triumphant to come in under budget when you take the time to land on a feasible estimate- as opposed to completely blowing a budget that was way too low to start with).
Here’s the full budget breakdown:
- No-VOC wall, ceiling and closet paint: $80 (Mythic paint was a much-loved splurge)
- 100% wool 5 x 8 rug from a local outlet: $99
- Aqua capiz chandelier also from a local outlet: $50
- DIY window & closet curtain fabric: $105 (another splurge, but they make the room)
- Curtain rods and ring clips on clearance from Target: $10
- White faux wood blinds from Home Depot to block all light: $37
- Modern crib with built in storage drawer: a gift from my sweet mom
- Organic crib mattress: generously provided by Savvy Rest
- Thrift store chair: $20
- Chair pillow from TJ Maxx: $6.99
- Ottoman, bench, side table and baskets: already owned
- Faux sheepskin rug on ottoman: $19
- Marshall’s mirror & paint to transform it: $50
- Craigslist dresser & refinishing supplies: $31.51 ($20 dresser, $11.51 supplies)
- Drawer lining project: $1.30
- Closet makeover: $18.36 (hanging bar, storage systems, etc)
- No-sew crib skirt: $14
- DIY mobile: $12
- Organic crib sheet and changing pad cover: $29 with coupon
- Blue fan from Target: $55
- Homemade wall shelves for books and toys: $14
- Ikea lamp on side table: $19
- Ikea basket for hamper: $4 (along with already owned leftover crib skirt fabric)
- Art: $42 ($25 Wall Blank print + $12 Etsy print + $5 worth of craft paper)
- TOTAL: $717.16
Not too bad, right? Especially when you think about shows like Trading Spaces having 1K to transform a space. And the fact that we were able to pick up two major pieces (the chair and the dresser) for just $20 a pop definitely allowed us to take on a ton of smaller projects that might not have originally worked within our budget. Now granted the gifted crib and mattress definitely helped when it came to staying under a thousand dollars (and coming in at less than half of our original $1500 budget) but we’re thrilled that we were able to whip up so many under $20 projects with that freed up moolah (from our mobile making and shelf building adventures to our drawer lining project, no-sew crib skirt and even our big closet makeover).
So what do you think? Are we ready for a baby or what? And what really is cuter… baby shoes or baby clothes? We’re so excited to finally share our big nursery reveal with you guys and we’d love to know if any of you are making over a nursery in your home- or sprucing up a kids room for your own growing bambinos. Heck, even if you’re kid-free, are you planning to take on any of the projects that we tackled for this space like ceiling painting, curtain making, dresser refinishing, closet organizing or shelf building? Do tell.
Psst- Wanna see our nursery progress from the very beginning? Here’s our painting post, our big shopping spree, our crib hunting rundown, our curtain-making tutorial, our fun little chair search, our mirror-painting extravaganza, our DIY faux sheepskin project, our big dresser makeover (and subsequent drawer lining project), our closet makeover, our homemade crib skirt undertaking, our DIY mobile, our shelf-building adventure and our art wall makeover. Oh the memories…
Cheryl McInerney says
I love everything you guys do. You have turned me on the blog world and I can’t wait to read your posts every morning. Keep up the good work. Your nurser is adorable and I can’t wait to meet the “bean”. She will be as beautiful as you two are.

Valarie says
Y’all are awesome! and so creative. Love the nursery! I have to show my hubby that painting a ceiling really isn’t that bad!! congrats to you 2 from an inspired reader/looker :)
Tiffany S. says
Congrats congrats congrats! That turned fabulous (not that I had ANY doubts). I’ve been busy with other blogs but had to come back to see how it turned out. She’s the luckiest little bean ever!
PS Baby shoes are the cutest. You just want to munch on them!
Melissa T. says
What a GORGEOUS nursery!! Fabulous job guys! Question for Sherry: Where did you get the maternity jeans that you’re wearing in the new picture? I had an awful time finding cute ones that fit nicely, and yours are adorable! I’d love to know where you found them. Thanks!
YoungHouseLove says
Old Navy! They’re the one thing I actually bought this entire pregnancy (I got lots of hand-me-down clothes from relatives and friends) and I’ve worn them pretty much every day since about 14 weeks on. Best purchase ever! They’re the ones with the full belly panel and the boot cut leg (no skinny jeans for this prego lady). Hope it helps!

Heather says
First of all YOU look amazing.. I have been waiting for the big reveal.. woa it is fantastic!! I too have been in the middle of a nursery project.. many ideas inspired by you!! I love it all. Thank you for being such an inpsiration and for just such beautiful eye candy. Can’t wait to meet her and see her in there!!
Jess says
Hi, first time commenter and long time reader! Love the nursery, very cute and cheerful.
Just a quick comment that may not be welcome – the mirror over the crib looks great but it may not be the safest thing to have hanging there once your baby can pull up in the crib. My cousin had a very securely hung print over her baby’s crib which was pretty high on the wall and he still managed to knock it down and she arrived to find him in a crib littered with glass shards. Thankfully he wasn’t seriously hurt but after that incident in our family I have a firm “no breakable anything hung over the crib” rule. We just finished decorating our third child’s nursery and we have a fun, colorful banner made out of old vintage bird postcards and ribbon hanging above the crib. It was inexpensive and adds a lot of color and fills the space nicely. :-)
Your blog is an inspiration and I love the tutorials!
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Jess,
Thanks for the tip! We used heavy duty anchors to hang our mirror and actually plan to take it one step further and drill right through the mirror and into the wall to completely secure it so it’s yank free and even earthquake proof (not that we get those out here, but just in case) once Baby P starts sitting up and getting more mobile. Can’t have the mirror falling on the baby! And of course we’re fully prepared to play things by ear and evolve this room to work best for the beanette, so if we ever decide that something else is safer above the crib we’ll definitely make the swap!
xo,
s
Jen says
Super triple amazing wowzers!! I am totally digging every single part of this space, it all ties together and works in harmony, so perfectly! You did it once again Youngsters, which of course is no surprise since you are so incredibly talented! The closet is an organizers dream, along with ALL of the storage you brought in for all that comes along with baby! I also totally heart how earth friendly everything is and the mix and matching of splurge vs. repurpose. Your beanette will be all ga ga over this space for years to come!
xoxo!
Lisa says
I love love love how the nursery turned out. I pray you and your sweet hubby have a wonderful and blessed delivery. Can’t wait to see the “Sweet P”.
Blessings

Sarah @ Breakfast at Tiffany Ln says
Totally amazing job yet again! It’s georgous and I love the way you organized the space, especially the closet! The beanette is going to be very happy in her new room. And Sherry you look great! Almost there!
Emily says
LOVE IT!!!
I adore all the feminine details (and so jealous since I have two little boys….)
One question – did you get a baby monitor yet? Just wondering since the placement of ours and finding ways to hide the cord (we have a video one with a camera attachment that screws into the wall) were major nursery decisions. Wondering esp. since you are planning on having her in there from the moment she comes home.
YoungHouseLove says
Good question Emily! We actually registered for and received a baby monitor but when we tried to hook it up we got major feedback and tracking issues from our home phone and our wireless internet connection so back it went. We’re thinking since our bedroom is just seven steps away from the nursery that we’ll probably just pop in and check on her- plus our whole house is so small we’ll always be able to hear from any corner of our casa. Hope it helps!
xo,

Laura says
Great Job! The nursery is absolutely adorable! I can’t wait to see how the room transforms over time. It’s amazing how fast their needs change. It is also SO great that you are cloth-diapering; you should do a post on that. ;-)
Janell Beals says
The room is looking nearly as cute as you! What a wonderfully cheerful space to bring a new baby home to, enjoy! Janell
kitarita says
Congratulations! All you need now is Baby P! Looks wonderful. I can’t believe how little you spent and how fabulous it looks! Well done.
Jodi says
Love the nursery…its so adorable…just wondering where you got the adorable piggy bank? I have three granddaughters who I think need to have one! Thanks!
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Jodi,
The piggy bank was a gift but we actually believe it’s actually from Target. Hope it helps!

Lida Mathews says
Closing on our house Thursday…it’s a fix-er-up like yours!!! We are super stoked…can’t wait to share those things on my blog (once I revamp it) – I love love love the colors you guys chose!!
Elyse says
WOW, it looks amazing! I have been patiently waiting for the “reveal”. It really is beautiful! I can’t wait fo you to share photos of the nursery in use! I also feel way behind. I think I’m due a couple days after you and my nursery is not finished. I’m waiting until after my last shower on Saturday and then next week I plan to get it done!
You did an amazing job, thanks for the inspiration!
Sunny's Life in Rehab says
Inspiring job as usual, guys. No wonder I can’t pass your blog up even for a day.
Keren says
you have good taste… I have the same mirror over the fireplace (in black though). Congrats on the upcoming arrival, she’ll make the room even cuter!
Michelle Kersey says
cutest couple EVER!
Baby clothes are my favorite…. but I’ve also been known to oogle over the shoes too :)
I love everything about the nursery and it has inspired me to no end when planning my nursery!
Any tips on bringing in some pink to my nursery? All the fabrics are brown/greens/blues/creams… I’d love to add a touch of pink here and there w/o making it seem like a crazy afterthought. I haven’t picked out a mirror yet, so that’s the only think I can think of, but I worry it just won’t GO with the room. Walls will be celery green (well, it’s actually called Lettuce, but very similar) and a dark brown up to chair rail height with a white stripe between them.
Good luck with the baby! You’ll do great! Oh, and I totally think you’ll end up calling her Beanette for a while. I called my son Peanut in the belly, and for a good 10 months afterward he was still Peanut.
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Michelle,
As long as you add a few splashes of pink it’ll feel deliberate and seamless (just one might look out of place) so we’d suggest a pink mirror along with a pink pillow on your chair and maybe some pink art or a pink throw/lamp/book/bunny, etc. So many options!

Susanna says
Just one word: PERFECTO.
Congratulations from Majorca.
Kisses!
Stephanie D says
Wow! I knew it would come out great, but it is just wonderful to see the finished project all the same! It’s easy to see you guys want to give the little beanette the world – I’d say this is a good start! :)
Megan says
What a fantastic nursery! You guys did such a great job. I know you’ll have lots of great memories in that room. Sherry, you are looking adorable and I wish you the very best in the weeks to come. Can’t wait to see that little girl!
Christy says
Do you know where the elephant blocks are from? I’ve been looking for one of those puzzles for my toddler, but am having a hard time finding a wood one with more than 4 blocks. And the room looks fabulous!
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Christy,
Those were actually a gift from Pottery Barn Kids. Super cute. They actually might have come from the PB outlet too! Hope it helps.

Laura @ youngDCliving says
Great job! I’m so impressed. Minus the crib, I’d take it as my bedroom any day. I love that you made it have a nursery feel, but pretty much everything could stay for a future guest bedroom.
I definitely am going to try to make a normal-bed skirt sometime this summer, following your directions for the crib skirt. Can’t wait! :)
ally says
The answer is…..baby shoes! They typically get less poop on them :0)
Courtney says
adorable,love the bright colors
CarMaj says
Looks so beautiful!
Jennifer says
Like others have said, I’d like this for MY room. I love the cheeriness of it all. AND I like that you veered away from the overly saccharine pinks and purples. Kudos. What inspiration.
Bryn says
I thought about you guys today – I went to Mary Jo’s and there was your nursery fabric! And then I came home to this post :)
Kirsten says
LOVE this! Great attention to detail–I’m SO impressed with the chandelier!! Baby will love that! And the curtains have inspired me–I really need some help in the window treatment department! And, randomly, I love the expression “woo to the hoo.” I might have to start using that myself, and since we run in different circles it shouldn’t be too awkward:).
Linda says
Wow, you’re so ready for the beanette! And she’s so lucky to have such a great room! Not to mention super adorable parents, I love that last photo of the two of you! :)
Emmary Roemer says
I LOVE the nursery. It is simply wonderful. So perfect for your little one. One thing we learned from our first nursery re-do was to add room darkening blinds, shades, curtains, etc. Chose from one of the above. We chose the cheap kind you can roll up and down. The kind that they cut for you at home improvement stores. These are life savers for napping babies….especially when they are a bit older and realize that light means stay awake. My boys are now 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 and they are napping machines. Those shades made it over to our new house and keep their rooms dark and cool for nap time. We simply roll them up to bring in the beautiful natural light when they wake up!! Good luck. My second was a late arrival too. It’s hard to wait, but oh so worth it!!!
Blessings,
Emmary
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Emmary,
Thanks for the tip! We actually got room darkening faux wood blinds from Home Depot (you can read more about them in our curtain post that we linked to at the bottom of the post). And we even included them in our budget breakdown. They’re installed in our after pictures, they’re just pulled up and out of the way to let the light stream in for the photos. Hope it helps!

Melissa says
wow . . . that’s all I can say! Absolutely beautiful! I wouldn’t mind moving in the room! =)
Amy says
These pictures are beautiful. I’m so excited to see how this room evolves as your wee one moves in!
Christin says
Gorgeous room! Simply beautiful. I love how you made it girlie – yet not. The colors and all the trimmings and trappings are fantastic. Inspirational!
Susan P says
Your nursery is fantastic! What a lucky baby! Thanks for sharing!
Kate says
Kind of a far in the future type of question, but I wondered if you two had considered if Beanette would be staying in this room while she’s growing up or if she might be moving over to the guest room?
I had a bedroom that was about 9.5×9.5 up until I moved out to go to college and never really had any problems, but I know you guys have mentioned how small the room is several times so I was curious. I’m sure either way it would end up working out.
YoungHouseLove says
It all depends on what baby number two is. If we have another girl we’ve talked about them both getting the larger guest bedroom, but if it’s a boy we’ll have to figure out if the beanette will move into the guest room or our little man will. Only time will tell!

Ann says
Adorable space and baby bump! I noticed Sherry’s tippy toes right away, too cute. I can’t believe how fast the time has gone since you let us in on your secret of being preggers. It is really amazing to me you guys redid the whole room for less than a thousand dollars.
Catira says
Totally cute and inspiring!!
We are expecting for August and are starting the process of thinking the nursery for our baby girl… Such an exciting time, but at the same time there are so many many options..
Enjoy the last few weeks of your pregnancy!
P.S. I really like the little piggy bank!!
Celia says
OMG! Under 1K that is awesome and inspirational. You look great!
Julie M says
I just wanted to also say that the room is just beautiful. The room is beaming!!
Meghan says
You two did such a nice job on the nursery! I actually know someone who made your mobiles on their own and loves them! I did want to ask where you got the yellow/pnk blanket that is hanging over the side of the crib in the pictures posted. It looks so cute and cozy!
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Megan,
That was a blanket we got a while back from Designers Guild. Here’s their site for ya: http://www.designersguild.com/
It’s definitely very cozy, and we’ve actually seen similar versions at TJ Maxx and Home Goods too. Hope it helps!

Best. Nursery. Ever.
Ami says
The nursery looks great! I still can’t believe my luck that my favorite bloggers are pregnant the same time as me and I get to steal all their fabulous ideas ;) (even though I am having a boy and have to modify accordingly lol). I also just have to say how impressed I am by how patient and kind you are to the overwhelming advice everyone wants to give you. Going through the same thing myself with every decision you make, how you decorate, things you buy etc I know how hard it can be sometimes to not take it personally and bite your tongue (and also stay true to what you like and is important to you and your family)! Can’t wait to see how things evolve as the baby get older and more stuff comes (so I can steal even more ideas)!! :)
Allison says
The beanette’s room looks fantastic!! Kudos to you two for saving money and still creating a beautiful, calming, fun space for the little one. I absolutely love it! You guys will make great parents. :)
Becky says
It is wonderful! Just amazing! I love it all … but my favorite is the DIY mobile. Do you think I can make one even though all my kids are grown and gone? And none of them were girls? And there are no grandchildren yet?
Oh, heck … I can put it in my sewing room. Yipee!!
Jennifer S. says
Baby clothes are way cuter than baby shoes. I never put shoes on my babies (all 5 of them) until they were walking for awhile. Barefoot is the way to go!
Now my babies are teenagers and we recently renovated the girls’ bedroom. It was really fun and they are really proud of their room now.
