NURSERY FLIP: GIRL TO BOY

This was the first complete room that I had a vision for and was able to execute exactly as I had pictured. This was before Pinterest so you are witnessing a completely original design :) I am not sure if it was the pregnancy hormones or the fact that maybe I had extra brain power, since my only job at the time this brilliant plan came to me was growing a baby. I hope I get a shock of this awesomeness again soon because this baby is almost 6 now and requires a big girl room in our new house.
I knew I wanted pink and green that was the new thing for girls at that time.
I found the bedding on Ebay,$50.00 it was Pottery Barn Kids regular price like $200.00.
The furniture was a gift from my mom and grandma. They found it at a yard sale for $250.00 regular price like $1500.00 from Babies R US.
Shelf was a yard sale find $10.00.
Curtin rod: Target, I registered for it and got it at my baby shower.
curtain white tie up @Target or Wal-Mart $10.00

The square frames are wooden from Michaels, they were $1.00 each and I had 25 of them. I then bought 25 different scrapbook papers in all different colors and prints and acrylic paint in hot pink and bright green. I designed and my husband painted :) I still LOVE this room to this day. My daughter wasn't in this room long b/c SURPRISE I was pregnant again when she was 6 months old.

We were trying to sell our house now and didn't want to spend the money to redo the entire room but I also didn't want my son to be in a pink room. Not that was going to care, we moved when he was 6months old but still I felt bad putting so much into the room for baby #1 I felt like he needed to have just as much effort put into his arrival.
TA DA: Pink and Green to Blue and Green
Bedding Wal-Mart online :$25.00
New Scrapbook paper and brown and blue acrylic paint.
Tan painted over the pink and here is a super cute baby boys room. Again I LOVE this room really in any colors possible.

I still have the squares and I am planning on using them in our master bedroom this time, I am thinking Navy and Coral :D
