Well, it’s finally “finished”. I’m sure it will evolve, and I know it’s not perfect. The shelves need work, there is a giant red and purple Baby Einstein mobile floating over the crib, we need a lamp for one of the dressers, we need some artwork, and Nana is still making pillows. But here are the final shots.
First off, remember the chair that was going to be reupholstered? Here’s the before and after:
And here is the first view you see upon walking in the room. I love the symmetry.
The white chair on the left used to be very poorly upholstered in pink toile. I don’t think I have a before picture, but there were buttons on the back, sad stuffing in the cushion, and overall bad fabric for chair upholstery. It’s a much happier chair now, and the ecru fabric will help this chair translate from room to room now–it’s durable, and in ecru, very versatile. This chair, as well as the night stand and other chair, were all estate sale buys. And that toile fabric was $12 for 36 yards. SERIOUSLY.
On the opposite wall, we have a dresser that used to be black. We painted it white. I’m not crazy about the nickle hardware, but I haven’t found anything I like better yet. The shelves were in my bedroom when I was little. We bought the amazing glider/rocker/recliner and it is AWESOME. The little rocker was also mine when I was little–we’re going to paint it white and Nana is making a cushion for it.
And here we have a shot of a dresser–this was also part of my bedroom suite from when I was little. This arrangement is what needs lamp and/or artwork. But we’ll get there. For now, the room is clean, tidy, organized and usable.
And this room is going to be the next project:






Hi, I'm Whitney. I am first and foremost a child of God, a mum to two rambunctious little boys, and lucky enough to call the most amazing man I know my husband. By day, I run a stationery company, and consult at the intersection of tech and graphic design. At night, I dream of charming cottages by the sea, silk ballgowns, and a perfectly organized office.









































Who do you use to re-upholster? Have some work I need done … looking for references.
And,the nursery looks lovely!
