Nursery

I knew when the baby came I wanted him in his own room.  Since the baby gets up a couple times a night I didn't want him to wake up his older siblings.  Although, whenever I go into his room at night the other two kids are out cold.  He could be screaming his head off and they would not budge.  Anyway, the nursery kind of got the "leftovers" when downsizing from a 4 bedroom to a 3 bedroom home.
Shortly after moving in, I found elephant fabric that I really liked.  I copied the elephant onto a huge poster board and traced around it with pencil and then colored them in with craft paint.  The room kind of stayed that way for the last 7 months.  Then when moving around the rooms and finishing the kids' room the nursery kind of took shape.   

 

 J built this bed for our daughter when we moved her out of the crib.  It is a full mattress with a beaded board headboard running lengthwise and a frame around the bottom.  The yellow comforter is from Target.  The throw is actually a picnic blanket from World Market (and I think it has been in every room I have taken pictures of so far.  It moves around a lot).  One of the pillows is covered in the aforementioned elephant fabric and the other one is just a plain white fabric with an 'R' I cut out of felt and used fabric glue to attach.

The elephants on the wall.  Before I knew what gender our baby was I decided to either add bow ties or hair bows.  One little boy later, bow ties it is.  I found 3 gift bags in designs I like from the dollar section at Target and cut out the bow ties.  Taped them on the wall.  Voila : fancy elephants.

I have plans to make crib sheets out of the elephant fabric but for the pictures I just wrapped the fabric around the mattress.  I already did a post about the shelves and the rocking chair.  I took all the picture frames off the shelves and put kids books there instead.  Kids books are wonderful decorations in and of themselves.
Speaking of picture frames.  Moving from a bigger house to a smaller one I have less wall space and thus have picture frames I needed a place to hang.  I made a few picture collages on either side of the window. 

The gray curtains are from IKEA and the banner was made out of the fabric I used to recover my dining chairs.
I moved the tripod lamp in from the family room because it matched the gray and yellow color scheme.  I love that lamp.

The closet is covered with a shower curtain from Target ($5 on clearance).
