Name: Juniper (10 months)
Location: Palos Heights, IL
I was 7 months pregnant and on bed rest when we moved into our small Cape Cod home. Decorating was a bit of a challenge, but I was not going to let our little peanut keep us from getting her room ready!
We wanted the space to be a collection of things that have meaning to our family and, of course, to be sweet, girly and fun!
Source List:
• Jenny Lind crib: estate sale. My husband and I found our Jenny Lind crib at an estate sale for a whopping $40.00. I saw a previous nursery on Ohdeedoh with a bright red Jenny Lind crib and loved how it turned out so we went for it.
• Blanket & bed skirt: Juniper's Auntie Lexie and Auntie Mary made the beautifully crocheted blanket and bed skirt with love.
• Child's ladder: Monster Rummage, Ripon, WI. The old children's bunk ladder was picked up for $10.00 at an antique store in WI. I just drilled in some hanging hardware on the back to make it into a little wall shelf.
• Paint color: Benjamin Moore Cotton Candy 1268. I love any red and pink combo so I was so excited to implement it into her nursery.
• Dresser: We found the long mid century dresser at a thrift store and just cleaned it up a bit and painted the hardware.
• Cross-stitch artwork: My late grandmother, who was a big part of my upbringing, made the framed cross-stitch artwork. She had them hanging in my nursery and would tell me stories about one item in the cross-stitch before each nap. The frames and picture rail are from IKEA. The one hanging alone by the window is the original frame painted white.
• Rocking chairs: The rockers are both refinished antique rockers. The blue one was actually the first thing we picked for our nursery. We picked it up for $20.00 at a thrift store and painted it and then used a shower curtain that had a twig motif on it for the upholstery fabric. I wanted something durable, water resistant, and something that paid homage to my daughter's name. My mom bought me the yellow rocker a few months after Juniper was born. She found it at an antique store and couldn't pass it up. We painted the frame yellow.
• Grey pouf: CB2
• Chalkboard: The chalkboard is actually just painted on the wall, and then I used a discarded frame for the outline.
• Square wall shelves: Target. Scrapbook paper is from the Amy Butler collection.
• White bookcase: Expedit from IKEA. Baskets from Land of Nod
• Juniper name: Land of Nod
• Birdcage lamp: painted from a thrift store and replaced shade
• Book rails: spice racks from IKEA
• Curtains on windows: Urban Outfitters
• Closet curtain: Land of Nod
• Pillows: The orange and cream one is from Target, the blue and brown one is from the dollar store (Can you believe it?!), and the octagon pillow is vintage from a thrift store.

This is fantastic--so cute and sweet. I love the name Juniper, as well.
Love pink and yellow together! Love the name Juniper. Love all the choices save the pink walls. Think all the colors in the room would pop more with white walls.
Does anyone know who made the antique blue rocker? It must be popular as it was in a post from yesterday, "Green With Envy: Adding Chartreuse To Kids' Rooms." (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chartreuse-in-kids-roomsroundup-178421)
I am sure I cannot be the only person who wants to know the original designer/retailer of this charming chair.
I've seen these chairs at many thrift stores after we found ours at a thrift store. If you google search bentwood rocking chairs by alston a bunch will come up. The chrome one is a high end model but I'm not sure where it's from. Hope that helps. Glad you like it!
