  • Windows in Nursery 2

Design & Décor: We have 3 windows & are unsure how to decorate them for our nursery. One valance w/ sheers? Separated? Panels?

HELP!!! Please suggest some (visual) options for us. We'd like to showcase the windows, rather than cover them up. But with the different sizes, we are having a dilemma.

Thanks so much in advance!

    I hope I can describe this right- put Shaker pegs on both ends of the tall window and on the ...»
    farthest end of the smaller windows. Drape your fabric over the pegs. This will allow light in and accent the uniqueness of the window combination.

  • I started with this old piece of a crib.
  • I removed some of the spindles and built a simple box around it.
  • I added a few shelves, then some curbed trim was added to dress it up.
  • A little molding on the bottom of each shelf will keep plates from sliding off.
  • Painted a crisp white! 1
  • I decided not to put a back on this piece so that the wall color will show through. 5

Hi all! This is my first post here on hometalk, but I'm sure I'll be a regular around these parts!

I love to repurpose found items. I made this adorable plate rack out of a "curbed" crib and some discarded trim pieces.

Design & Décor: JUST TO CLARIFY .

. . and clear up any confusion. I LOVE wood. It has a natural richness that says "quality". As a result, I am often asked to PAINT architectural details to make them LOOK like wood. ...»
These surfaces can be made out of ANY substance. . . drywall, MDF, trim moldings, plywood, previously painted cabinets, etc. I can match ANY wood species in ANY color.

These photos are almost like a game of "Where's Waldo". Try to guess what is the REAL wood and what is the PAINT. The answers are on the captions. If you don't believe me, I will gladly send you the before photos. Have fun.

    Excellent work! Your color matching is superb! I do work like this, only on a smaller scale.
