Shared Spaces: DIY Gender Neutral Nursery - Part 1

Make your own stencils. They can be as elaborate or simple as you want. Clearly I went overboard, as I often do with crafty projects, mainly for the pure enjoyment I get from the creation, execution and end result.

Painters tape was my friend as you can clearly see. The walls had been freshly painted this lovely ‘Glimmer’ colour, a cross between butter yellow and pale lime green. This particular wall hadn’t existed when we bought the house, but we put one up as a part of the our renos.

I was quite pregnant when I got down to business here. Lots of bending at awkward angles and such. Which I tore through with the typical ferocity of a nesting pregnant mama. As we do.

One might say these were the final touches, but not really. I mean, sure – the painting was all done and shelves were going up – but here I am a year later with a small space begging for rearranging since the addition of Abby joining her bro in the room. Pictures still need to be hung, a second-hand rocking chair needs to be painted. This series shall hold me to it. (Getting it done). So anyone with attractive and clever space saving/organizational ideas, come forth!

I had a very clear vision on how the room would come together. Since the walls had so much going on, I wanted all of the furniture and shelving to be clean lines, bright white, classic lines and simple.
