Baby Diana's Little Room

With only a few weeks until the arrival of our baby Diana, we finally finished her little room. With Alice, we didn't finish much in advance either, but this time it almost reached the time limit, especially for the anxious mom here. Alice's little room you can meet here.
I started projecting the little room into my head as soon as we discovered the pregnancy and of course, before we knew who would come, boy or girl. But from the beginning I had neutral colors in mind, such as green water and tangerine. We ended up painting the walls, which still had the original color of when we bought the house, light green and white.

Many, if not almost all of the items in the room were passed on from Alice's room or from our own room in the old house, so we don't need to buy many new things. The idea was to keep the simplicity, without fru-frus, nothing that was very baby-like theme and that would get outdated as soon as it grew a little (something that happens in the blink of an eye, let's combine!).

The rocking chair, crib, drawer, curtains, toy basket and the little brown bookcase are all reused. The new pieces were summarized in the carpet, ceiling lamp, round mirrors and puff.
The looks behind the crib was created with adhesive triangles that I even made with Contact© paper, after having searched online, which made us save a little $as well. I opted for the apparent highlight to be white as opposed to the more popular idea which is to use a stronger color The ornament of clouds, sun, pom-pom and the art of the paintings behind the drawer were also made by me.
I love to give a personalized touch to the rooms, with handmade things and different from most of the ideas I see on the internet.

With only a few weeks to go, we finally finish the nursery for baby #2. First time around we didn't finish that much earlier either, but this time it took a little longer that I had in mind. The baby wouldn't notice anyways, it was for my own piece of mind, of course. You can see Alice's nursery here.
We began the nursery project not knowing who was coming, so I set my mind in two sort of gender neutral colors, mint and tangerine. We painted the walls in a pale green and white.
Almost all the items on the nursery are second hand from Alice's old nursery and our own bedroom, so I didn't have to buy a lot for this project. My idea was also to keep it simple. No fru-frus, nothing that I could get tired of or only work for tiny baby phase (which we all know, it goes by so fast).

Rocking chair, crib, dresser, curtain, toy bin and square shelving were all reused. Only new big items were rug, light fixture and knitted ottoman.

The featured wall was created with triangular decals. I was going to purchase them on Etsy, but ended up cutting the triangles myself with some black shelf liner (Contact©) and saved a bit of money on that too. The stuffed clouds, orange sun, green yarn tassels and framed art were all made by me.
