A DIY Mint + Pink Nursery

We have come a long way in this little lady’s room – from four bare walls to a room bursting with love, fun, colour, and cheerfulness. This space makes me instantly happy when I come in, and Maya seems to dig it too (thank goodness!). Here is the full scoop on her bright and cheerful DIY nursery.
Just a reminder of what the room looked like pre-makeover. Fresh walls and floors… but dying for a little life!
As you saw in last week’s post, we started out by creating an accent wall with paint and ice cream cone decals (PARA paint’s “Flushed”, and decals from Urban Walls). That definitely set the tone for the rest of the room.
Usually I would always do drapes in a room like this, but for some reason I just wasn’t feelin’ it for Maya’s room. We have roll-down blackout blinds already installed, and I plan on installing some bamboo blinds in front of those eventually, so I was pretty OK to leave the windows bare for now. I maximized the little wall space to the right of the window with some mint-painted boxes, and also hung up two of the pieces from her original DIY raindrop mobile. I couldn’t find the right spot to hang the mobile in its’ original form, so I took it apart and did this instead. Cute, right?
Then as you pan around the room, there is a reading/crafting spot. I used an IKEA LACK table under the window (I prefer the look of these versus the specifically kids tables at IKEA – cleaner lines or something), and paired it with some vintage kids chairs I found at the flea market. We put some of Maya’s fave books up on the wall, and I also had the space to hang two framed prints (“dream big little one“, and “think happy! be happy!” from my etsy shop).
