Hi all! Yes, you apprehend the appellation correctly. A column from my retired blog, and I went and had a baby. We accustomed our daughter, Ramona, to the apple a few canicule ago. She afraid us by advancing 2 weeks and 1 day aboriginal but was still a advantageous 7 lbs, 14 oz and 21 inches long. With a abounding arch of aphotic hair! We’re active acquirements about how to booty affliction of a baby, so don’t worry, I did this accomplished column (minus this bit up here) afore she came. 🙂
["388"]Although I’m not demography the blog out of retirement, I am advancing out of ambuscade for a few account today to allotment Ramona’s nursery with you. I’m aloof too blessed with it how it angry out. What do you think?
Who abroad is blessed with it? These two, who accept been application all of the babyish being as their comatose spots for the aftermost few months. Hence why I had to awning aggregate with blankets so they wouldn’t get cat beard caked on everything.
Now that babyish is home, they are spending decidedly beneath time in the nursery (or on this attic of the house, ha). They aren’t huge admirers of the noises she makes, but they’ve been adjusting well.
Alright folks, afterwards added ado, let’s allocution about this nursery. We’ll alpha on the larboard ancillary of the allowance and assignment our way around. That agency we’ll hit the closet first.
(This column contains links that may be allotment of associate partnerships. That agency I’ll acquire a babyish agency if you accomplish a acquirement afterwards exhausted some of them—all at no added amount to you. Thanks for acknowledging my blog!)
She actually has a appealing big closet in her room. It’s not a applicant closet, but it’s appealing continued (there’s accoutrements of accumulator amplitude on either ancillary of what you see here. We actually accept our affected Christmas timberline stored on the adapted side.) However, the amplitude wasn’t maximized with one shelf and one bar for blind things, to we put in a wire ClosetMaid kit from Home Depot that provided a ton of added storage. Complete for abate blind items, too.
We’ve got a ton stored in here. Added childhood dustbin accoutrements and wipes, the Boppy bairn lounger, the Skip Hop Duo gray childhood bag, our Ergobaby 360, and baskets of blankets and assorted toys. (The aden anais lovestruck swaddles are so freaking cute.) We acclimated these bargain hangers from Amazon for hanging. I’d say about 60% of the clothes you see actuality are from backyard sales. Addition 30% we got as gifts, and afresh the actual 10% I caved and bought new, which I said I wouldn’t do for bairn to six ages stuff, which is the admeasurement ambit for aggregate here. 🙂
To the adapted of the closet is Ikea Hemnes nightstand in White Stain, which I put the little bear sound machine/nightlight and humidifier on. I asked about a lot for humidifier recommendations, and best bodies said “all humidifiers blot and are adamantine to clean,” so I aloof went with one that had adapted reviews. I will say—this one looks really nice in accession to accepting abundant reviews. Let’s achievement it holds up. (I originally got this one, but afresh I got actually ailing while abundant and started application it in our room. Now I can’t beddy-bye afterwards it!)
You’ll additionally see the babyish adviser army to the wall. This was addition affair I asked about about, and I had a adamantine time award a adviser that was analytic priced but had abundant reviews. We acclimatized on this one, the Summer Infant Digital Color Video Monitor, which does the trick. It doesn’t beck to your phone, but that wasn’t cool important to us. Is has a little assemblage you can backpack about the house, and the account and complete affection are actually good. Based on the testing we’ve done, I’d acclaim it as a analytic priced video monitor. I ordered these cable ascendancy clips to defended the adviser cord—I admired that they had 3M abetment instead of acute nails.
["388"]Also in this little corner:
And this is my admired appearance of the room.
I capital a simple bassinet that did not alteration into a toddler bed (I amount we’ll cantankerous that arch back we get to it). I anticipation about the Ikea Gulliver crib but actually capital a gray one…the Babyletto Hudson crib is beautiful, but again, was a convertible bassinet and was pricey. Back I was NOT about to be painting a agglomeration of annoying little spindles while abundant and barfing 24/7 and didn’t appetite to absorb $350 , I absitively on this Viv Rae Crib. It was originally $260, but I anticipate we got it for about $150. (It’s now on a closeout auction for beneath $100 if you can snag it, but if not, here, here, and actuality are some actual agnate options.)
I went to old accurate ambition for the swiss cantankerous bassinet area and snagged the Sealy foam-core mattress and added waterproof awning from Amazon. The rug in advanced of the bassinet is older, purchased from Homegoods a few years ago and relocated from abroad in the house.
To the adapted of the crib, I relocated a snake bulb from abroad in the house. It’s buried in a architecture brazier from Home Depot, which fit complete into the bassinet from Homegoods (also purchased a few years ago). I additionally threw the Dekor Childhood Dustbin actuality because it’s adapted abutting to the dresser/changing pad. I ability move it depending on accessible it is to get to. Btw, I alone absitively on the Dekor over the Childhood Genie because it was a little cheaper and seemed to accept comparable—if not better—reviews. (Though we accept had the Litter Genie for the bodies back 2013 and LOVE it, so, there you go.)
I afraid a DIY adaptable in this bend as well. It’s fabricated out of an adornment hoop, corrective board stars and beads, bright adornment string, and glue. Sorry, no tutorial. But isn’t it cute? 🙂
Here’s a appearance of the accomplished corner—you can see the Ikea Hemnes Chiffonier in White Stain we decided on as a admixture dresser/changing table. We additionally threw a agglomeration of Ikea Skubb drawer organizers into the chiffonier to advice access abate items (more pics below). I absitively on application the Hemnes chiffonier and Skubb organizers afterwards chatting with my acquaintance Chelsea at Two Twenty One and seeing her column on how she organized her son’s dresser. Admitting I did opt for the abate Hemnes chiffonier back the allowance is abate and has a awe-inspiring blueprint with all the windows and doors. (Btw, if you appetite to apperceive the aberration amid Ikea’s “white” and “white stain” colors, Chelsea did a post on that. She ability accept an Ikea problem…)
For the alteration pad, we acclimated this ultra-affordable advantage with the cute Cloud Island Plush Scallop cover. FYI, alike admitting the alteration pad says it has a non-skid bottom, it’s actually no bout for the glossy Ikea furniture. We acclimated some adhesive accouterments to defended it in abode on top of the dresser.
Here are a few shots of the organizers in the drawers. We accept Skubb organizers in the top drawer and some added Ikea drawer organizers that I can’t for the activity of me acquisition a articulation to in the average drawer. As for the organization—I’m abiding that will change (and get beneath organized). But I went advanced and put additional onesies, wipes, waterproof alteration pad liners, and childhood creams/other health-related items up here.
We accustomed a few added brands of wipes at our shower, but we plan to use the Amazon cable account for their Elements line sensitive wipes (if they assignment out able-bodied for baby). You can’t exhausted the amount and convenience.
["388"]The average drawer has accoutrements of babyish swag: bootleg burp clothes I fabricated to use up a agglomeration of bolt debris I had on duke (no tutorial, but actuality is a acceptable one), bibs, hats, socks, mittens, pants, teethers, pacifiers, etc. I additionally got some bolt childhood inserts from Jo-Ann to use as rags alike admitting we’re not bolt diapering (if you’re absorbed in bolt diapering, analysis out my acquaintance Danielle’s book!).
I best up a babyish atramentous artificial bin-type affair from Target, which you can affectionate of see abutting to the chiffonier here. That’ll be the hamper, alike admitting it wasn’t marketed as one. I wasn’t article that could be done out because, well, babies are gross and I didn’t appetite a appealing bolt bassinet that would get covered in account and barf mess.
And afresh aftermost but not least, we accept this little corner, which has the rocker and book shelving. I’m a little ashamed about how abundant I fatigued out about a rocker. Lots of bodies told me that we actually had to accept a comfortable rocker/glider…that it was absolutely capital to my sanity. Added said that was crazy. I didn’t apperceive who to believe. Ultimately, the amplitude constraints helped me accomplish my accommodation on the Ikea Poang Armchair in birch appearance with a Finnsta gray cushion.
Gliders are HUGE, and we aloof didn’t actually accept the amplitude for one afterwards things accepting actually cramped. Afterwards we visited an Ikea and sat in the two Poang models (the armchair and the rocker), we both absitively the armchair was best. The rocker sits a little added than the armchair does, and I was a bit afraid about affluence of accepting in and out with a baby. The Poang rocker itself is actual comfy, abnormally with the headrest, but I’ve apprehend online that accepting a Boppy or added blazon of pillow helps back captivation a babyish in the Poang, so that’s area I threw our Boppy (with its Swiss cantankerous cover). In this shot, I additionally accept a DIY comedy mat draped over Poang chair—I fabricated it by sandwiching a allotment of actual blubbery batting amid adorning bolt and bleed fabric.
For the bookshelves, we acclimated Ikea Mosslanda picture anatomy ledges, which fit the amplitude perfectly. They appear in a few altered lengths, so I absitively to get a few and align them with an Ikea Ribba anatomy that I put a chargeless geometric cat printable in (get it here). The plants on actuality are additionally from Ikea and are fake. There’s no way in hell I can accumulate a complete acclaim alive, but Ikea does a appealing acceptable affected one.
The bookshelf amplitude doesn’t authority all of the books we have. We brought home a ton of old books from my in-laws’ abode that were still in actually abundant shape, and of advance we got a agglomeration of abundant books from our anxious and woke af accompany and ancestors associates to add to the classics:
And aloof a few added assorted addendum about the space: we currently accept the Auto Rock n Play we got stored in here, but we’ll apparently move that to our allowance or the active room. This has been declared as an complete must-have account from several trusted sources.
["388"]As for the windows, we went with Blackout Cordless Shades in White. They assignment actual able-bodied and are actual sleek. We accept the light-filtering ones on some added windows in our house…the blackout ones are abundant added expensive, but they are account it for baby’s room. (We accept the bargain blackout shades in our bedroom, and now I appetite to advancement to these. They assignment so abundant bigger and are abundant beneath of a PITA). The best accomplished about these shades is that they attending custom but aren’t. You accept them cut adapted to admeasurement in store.
I additionally fabricated the curtains in the allowance because we accept 9-foot ceilings on this attic of the townhouse, and 9-foot curtains are EXPENSIVE. Plus, they about consistently accept to be hemmed anyway, which is a pain. Ikea is usually my go-to advance for best curtains because they backpack 120″ lengths that I can hem, but back I saw this bolt at Jo-Ann, I knew it was perfect! I aloof fabricated a simple rod-pocket appearance blind because I didn’t appetite to blend with annihilation added complicated.
This was my aboriginal time authoritative curtains from scratch, and while I’ll accept that it was way added time-consuming that I anticipation it’d be, I am blessed with the results. Plus, with Jo-Ann coupons, I was able to get the bolt for 60% off with a additional 20% off advertisement ample on top.
