Lyla's Pretty Plum Nursery

 First of all, I love this room! I now find myself gravitating to the colors elsewhere without realizing it. I wanted something girly and sophisticated. You should know that I am officially in the damask and paisley fan club. They are both prints I am often drawn to. So when I found this black and white damask print crib set online, for a very reasonable 100 smackers, I was sold! I knew that I didn't want pink for the walls, (always adorable but I wanted "different"). I decided on this pretty deep plum color to keep it girly. 

  I found this crib online for a great price and love that it has a drawer underneath to store extra sheets and blankets.

  We got the dresser on clearance at Babies R' Us (it has a small scratch on one of the corners). They say "defect," I say "character." Win, win... 

The rocking chair is actually made for a porch but works great in here. Another steal at around $60. I got the ottoman/toy chest from Target as a gift and the bookshelf for $30 on sale at Target as well. 

 The bookshelf on the wall was made with love by Grandpa and I am soooooo in love with it! 

  Now onto the window treatments. I bought I pair of plain white curtains for $15. (I only bought I set since originally her room was upstairs but that's another story). My lovely Grams sewed different black and white ribbons to the bottom and pretty buttons along the top to make them super cute!

 Now onto the accessories.... I got a super cute plain lamp and dressed it up with leftover ribbon from the curtains. The basket on the dresser was a find from Home Goods. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, I just had to have it! I originally had receiving blankets rolled up in there until we no longer used them. Now I love displaying her books and CD's in it. It's a good thing I have so much storage for books because my girl LOVES them! 

I found the chandelier online for $70 and it's soooooo pretty! My handy hubby made the framed magnet board (More on how he did that later) and I got the cute butterfly magnets at Target. (Man I love that place!) I spray painted some of them black and got her cute magnetic letters to spell out her name. Voila!! Lyla's pretty plum nursery:) 

There are actually pictures here from her room when it was upstairs and later when we moved it downstairs to be closer to us:)  I'm still gradually working on things like additional window treatments to darken the room more when needed and really want to do a ceiling medallion.  There are a couple projects in here that I'll go over later and some more pics to post.  Hope you likey:)
