At 37 weeks its due time for both a baby and the nursery reveal! I have had lots of fun decorating this space and ended up straying just a bit from my original design board. The brown, yellow and white was a little too matchy so I introduced a rusty orange and lime green to make the space more playful. Here is a reminder of what the room looked like before.
I can’t say the room is 100% complete, because when we know Baby H’s gender I will definitely want to add some feminine or masculine touches where appropriate. But with Baby H set to arrive any day, here is where we will be bringing him/her home to!
Window Seat
The tiny room lacked a focal point so I created the window seat to give the room more depth and accent the large window.
Changing Station
The room has a very small closet so I chose a changing table that would provide plenty of storage and flexibility.
Display Wall
I created this wall so the books, artwork and decor can easily be changed, providing instant design updates.
Letters
I used decals to accent the short Cape Cod wall and provide a pop of color for baby to enjoy from the crib.
Crib
I kept the crib neutral with a homemade crib skirt and brown “sheet saver.” Once we know Baby H’s gender I will add a gender appropriate bumper and accents on the wall.
So there it is, with just a couple weeks to spare! I included a source list of some of the key components of the room.

I love that you used shower curtains for your curtains!! Genius and creative:)
Thanks for reading Erin!!
I’m curious what changing pad you bought to fit into the IKEA Gulliver Changing Pad table. Awesome nursery!
Hi Lauren- I purchased the Babies R Us brand standard changing pad. It’s a tight fit but works great!
Hi there! I love your nursery! I was wondering if you could tell me what the wall color is? And also how the shower curtain feels? I have been looking for striped yellow curtains myself, and just wanted to make sure these are cloth-like!! Thanks and great job!
Hi Taylor- Thanks for reading! I need to check on the wall color, I can’t remember off hand but I know it’s one of the Martha Stewart white paints in a glossy finish. And yes, the curtains are cloth-like, you honestly can’t tell at all that they are a shower curtain!
Great nursery! I’m planning to buy the Gulliver changing table too. What size bins can the shelves accomodate?
This is such a gorgeous nursery! Just to continue on the shower curtain topic, the bright color of is exactly what I’m looking for – however, on the West Elm site they look a little more subdued and “mustard”. Is the color in your pictures closer to accurate? I hope so… :) Love it!
Thanks Emily! I would say the color is definitely brighter than appears on the West Elm website. The window I have mine hanging on gets a ton of sunlight which brightens the color, but I would say it’s more of a soft yellow than true mustard. Hope that helps :)
Hi Jenna – me again. :) I’m doing an upcoming blog post about my love of yellow stripes and was wondering if I could feature a picture of your nursery curtains (with a link back to your blog of course)…? Thanks so much!
Of course!!! Thank you for asking Emily :)
Love the nursery. Was wondering if you could tell me where you got the yellow flower pillow on the chair? Thanks so much :)
Hi Brooke- thanks for reading! The pillow is Dwell Studio at Target.
Thanks! One more question. I was wondering about the shower curtain. Did you sew onto the bottom to make it long enough to touch the floor? I was looking at it for our nursery and noticed it’s only like 72 inches long. Thanks again! :)
Hey Brooke- I actually didn’t need to add any length to the curtain. We have pretty low ceilings in our nursery because it’s a 1/2 level cape cod. But if they are too short you could add a different fabric and trim with a piece of ribbon like this picture here http://pinterest.com/pin/156077943305804521/
Great job, I love your nursery!! I especially like the shower curtain from West Elm, I am now debating whether to get this for my bathroom. I have a question about it – in your pictures the yellow looks very vibrant, which I like, but in the pics on the West Elm site, it looks much different – more pale. Which would you say is more true-to-life?
Love the nursery! Beautiful job!
I esp love the striped shower curtain from West Elm. Question: in your pics it looks nice and vibrant yellow but on the west elm site it looks much more subdued. Which one is more true-to-life? I’d love a nice bright white and yellow striped curtain for my bathroom.
Thanks!
Hi Katie, thanks for reading the blog! The shower curtain is kind of a light mustard color. Where I have it hanging in the window I get a ton of sunlight so that certainly makes it look a little bit brighter yellow. I think it is a little lighter than appears on the West Elm site tough. Hope that helps!
I love your nursery. It’s very much like what I’m trying to achieve with our baby’s nursery (neutral, modern, bright). I love your curtains. Yellow striped curtains are impossible to find (within a reasonable budget). So, you bought one curtain, cut it in half, and then sewed the cut seam? I think I can do this!
Yeah I cut it in half, and actually didn’t even use a sewing machine. I just used a no-sew fabric tape called stich-witch and it worked great. Super easy!

Area or you can say location is additionally an essential angle in picking a curtain fabric. Your area will give you a thought for what sort of curtain fabric you might utilize for your home.
