Opal and Oliver's nursery has been mostly used as a play room and storage for baby things thus far. Since moving here, Opal has been afraid to sleep in her own room, so we've just kept a crib in our room for her. But recently she has been more comfortable with her toddler bed, so we actually moved the crib to the nursery and the big girl bed to our room. So the bedrooms now look different, but I wanted to share some photos of her room BEFORE we moved everything around, along with links to wear I found some of the ideas for projects I've done.
I got Opal's bed from IKEA. It is called the MINNEN.
I really love this bed because it will grow with her. It starts out as
a toddler bed but can actually extend 2 more times and eventually be a twin size bed.
Peeking out from underneath her bed you can see the extendable mattress pieces.
This is super helpful for me, and will actually be a comfy bed for my sister to sleep on
this summer while she visits. Way better than an air mattress. :-)
I made the "Scout Oli" banner before moving here.
You can see the tutorial here.
My mom and I made the faux bear rug! It is my favorite of our DIY projects.
I first saw it on pinterest, and found a tutorial on a fellow Marine Wife's blog.
We ended up not following her's exactly and pretty much hand drew our own pattern.
We also gave our bear extra padding and what not.
But for those that need a tutorial with step by step instructions THIS ONE is great! :-)
Here's a little close up image of our bear.
I got this bookcase and toy organizer from Target last summer. I think they've discontinued it, because I can't seem to find it online. I totally wish I could though, because I want another one.
I love this fabric bin so much. I use it as a toy box for Opal. I found it at home goods and plan to get another one for Oliver once we get moved into our next home.
This is the other wall in her room. I got this chalkboard from IKEA.
I will definitely have to take some photos of this room now that I have yet again changed it.
It is now full with the crib, Oliver's little clothes, and I've moved around all of Opal's toys and things.
It wont be like that for long either though- because soon everything will be boxed up and on its way to our new home. Wherever in the world that may be. Hopefully I can let you guys know by the end of this month! :-)
XOXO- Chelsea.
