Lukes Nursery

Would you like to see Luke's nursery?

Come on in!

His nursery used to be our Guest Room. When we found out I was pregnant, we decided to make the Guest Room the nursery and then we did some construction & built an office/guest room (which I realized I haven't posted pics of yet! I will do that soon!)
We didn't repaint the room (it is Fig Cookie by Kelly Moore), but during construction, we added crown moulding & new base boards to all our rooms and got new doors.

I knew that if we had a boy, I wanted to go with a classic navy/red boy nursery with Sports as an accent.
If you know me (and Kevin) you know that we LOVE sports, so we wanted to incorporate that into the nursery.

I wanted the bedding to be simple & not have Sports on it, so I mixed & matched a bumper & crib skirt from Land of Nod.

I also got the L pillow from Land of Nod.

I got the Luke scripture pillow from Chrissie Grace's Etsy shop. Each of my girls have personalized pillows from her with their own scriptures. I love these meaningful pillows!

(Don't worry, the pillows are just for decoration, I take them out when he sleeps in his crib. I also take out the bumper & use a breathable bumper until they are 1 year old)

One of my favorite pieces of his nursery is the name canvas/scoreboard that I found in this Etsy shop.

I had the score say 8 to 9 because his birthday is August 9th.

The big L is really a cardboard L that I bought at Joann's and then spraypainted it red.

One of my favorite things about his nursery are the Rain Gutter Bookshelves that Kevin and I made.

I pinned this idea months ago & was so excited to make them.

They were so easy to make and so cheap!

I bought one 10 foot piece of Rain Gutter for $5.47

Kevin sawed it in half with a hack saw to make two 5 foot shelves.

I bought rain gutter end caps that were $3.19 for a 2 pack.

I bought a huge box of 1 5/8 inch dry wall screws for $3.49.

That's it. So cheap!

It took Kevin and I about 35 minutes from start to finish to saw them & put them up.

Here is the link to the step by step directions that I used.

I love how they turned out! They are very sturdy because we used drywall screws & we screwed them into studs and also screwed them in to to the ends. Even if he pulls up on them when he is older, I think they will still stay up!
