elle's nursery

Elle is turning two today! In celebration, we are having a throwback to her nursery days. I loved her nursery. I was so cozy, and has so many tender memories attached. I didn't want to spend a lot of money decorating because I knew we would be spending of money on other things, so I reused a lot of things we had around the house.

The changing table and baskets are from Ikea. I made the artwork on the walls. We got the mirror from Tai-Pan awhile ago, but I thought it would look great in the nursery.

Jeremy owned that giant chair before we got married. Words cannot describe how comfortable that chair is. I'll tell you right now though, it is really hard to get out of when you pregnant with a giant stomach that likes to get in the way. The faux fur throw is from Ikea, and I made the pillow with scraps from the crib blanket.

I bought the mobile on Amazon. It was my big splurge. I couldn't help it though; it is simply adorable. I made the pennant banner, as well, out of left over fabric from the crib quilt.

I put my sewing skills to the test with this room. I made the crib quilt and the elephant pillow.

This cute rocking chair was given to us by Mister's mom. It was her's when she was a little girl. Elle absolutely loves it!

The rocking chair was a garage sale find for only $8. I painted it because it had definitely seen better days. I found the hamper at TJ Maxx, and the elephant mask I made in my high school ceramics class. This nursery was my favorite. I can't believe that my little babe has been around for two whole years!
