The Nursery Nook - How to add some sweetness to any little corner of space (Part 1)

It is hard to believe I am in my third trimester with baby #3!  I finally managed to get this blog up and running before getting pregnant and then was hit hard with morning sickness for all of my first trimester and into my second.  Not lovely and definitely not a good time to be tackling DIY projects.  I mostly laid on the couch, cuddled my kiddos and ate potatoes or any carb I could keep down.

Now that I am somewhat on the other side of my morning sickness boy have I had a lot to catch up on especially when it came to our nursery or as we like to call it the nursery nook.

We have an extra room the baby could go in but at the moment it is my husbands office, he loves having his own space and seriously he needs it otherwise my whole house would be overtaken by books.  I've come to learn as a parent with two kids, that babies, well, they don't take up much space and you often don't use a dedicated room for them at first.  So since we have a pretty big master bedroom, we decided to turn a small section into a more dedicated nursery area and so far, so good!

Now, I love to decorate and I especially love kids spaces and I am pregnant which means nesting is full on at the moment.  With both of my other kids rooms I did a few DIY pieces but purchased A LOT!  Custom art, bedding, pillows etc.  As you can imagine with babe #3 funds are  limited so I became determined to DIY everything in our little nook so thus began a whirlwind of DIY projects which I will post here for your viewing pleasure.


Firstly - Wall vinyl
I make and sell wall vinyl decals and so it just made sense to liven up the tiny wall between our chair and baby dresser (in the closet) by adding a little something something in the form of vinyl decals.  This is a very easy and fairly inexpensive way to make any space more fun and I think especially looks great in kids rooms.  I wanted something fairly simple, gender neutral as we are team green and geometric.  Once we got these up - which I will admit take some time and patience and as I suggest in my instruction sheet a celebratory glass of wine when you are finished - a woodsy/mountain theme registered and my creative juices started flowing. Here is the vinyl wall half complete and I love it, doesn't seem odd in our master bedroom and really separates this tiny space making it one step closer to welcoming a tiny person. I'll end here as this post is already too long, stayed tuned for the next nursery project and if are on the hunt for some wall decals be sure to let me know or check out my Etsy site.

Happy DIYing!
