So initially we were going to have Juliette in our room. Then we decided that since our toddler is still in our room, but in her own bed, I should probably prepare a room for Juliette and then sleep in there with her, so that our toddler doesn't think she's being replaced by her new little sis. There's a twin bed in the room but it isn't featured in the pics...that twin bed is for me LOL. Anyway, here's her nursery, and my room for the next few months after her birth, or until she sleeps thru the night .

Found these little picket fences at Hobby Lobby for like $1 and hot glued flowers on them, then cut out nesting doll images from left over bedding fabric and glued them onto the picket fences. The pink lamp was on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $10 regular $50! That baby in the frame is my first born :0).

Bedding and Bedskirt (Fabric found on sale at JoAnns. With all the coupons, ended up getting it all at about %60 off. I didn't want to make a bumper b/c I'm paranoid )


Valance:

Wanted something lightweight to hang above the crib, so we spray painted these embroidery hoops white then decorated them with nesting doll fabric.

These three little windows looked boring so I literally just hammered some fabric under the window panels and just used steam-a-seam to finish off the edges, because I was too lazy to sew them at this point . The dresser was a Craig's List find. It was originally blue and I repainted it white then added fabric to the drawer faces (I did this before I got pregnant--don't have the energy now! It was in our guest bedroom before. I figured it matches the quirkiness of the nursery)

If you're wondering what's in those black frames by the windows...more nesting dolls of course. Free clip art images found online and printed/cut out and placed on scrapbooking paper. Framed on black $3 Walmart frames. (Sorry for the blurry image! Rainy day/bad lighting)

Awesome job!! I love homemade things and I would love to be able to make my kids some cute things like that. It means something! But I'm hopeless when it comes to crafts so I'll just envy you.

Thank you, ladies . As you can see, I have kind of an obsession with these little dolls ha. These little projects were done over a period of months. It took me about a week to finally take the pics, though. This is what happens when you live in a state where it hits the triple digits and you spend a lot of time indoors .

Gorgeous! I was looking at a birthday party blog a few days ago and came across a nesting doll themed party, it was so pretty and reminds me of your nursery.
