Baby Monster Nursery

I just love playful baby monsters and I thought that would be fun to do for a nursery. Especially since it would be from scratch instead of just buying a pre-designed nursery theme.


What brand of crib did you buy? Where from?

Babyletto Mercer Crib from Babies 'R Us.


What brand of nursery furniture did you choose? Where did you buy it?

Babyletto Mercer Dresser from Babies 'R Us and Expedit Shelf from IKEA.


What nursery bedding set did you use? Where did you buy it?

Summersault Geo Brights from Target.com.


Tell us about your window treatments, nursery lighting, rugs, wall decor and accessories. Where did you buy them - were any handmade?

The valances really pull in the monster nursery theme. These were found on ebay after finding a baby bedding set in the same pattern at a discount store.

The monster lamp was also a perfect addition to the room and was found after doing an internet search for "monster".

The artwork is DIY because I'm a graphic designer. It really makes this a one-of-a-kind nursery!

Thanks to Uglydolls, I was able to make an original mobile to continue the monster theme over the changing table.


How did you store all your baby goodies? In baskets, on shelves?

The Expedit shelf from IKEA was perfect. It fits anything from books to toys to stuffed animals. It really is a store-all shelf.

The baskets were from Land of Nod and really help bring in the variety of colors.


How long did it take you? Was it easy, fun, difficult? What was your favorite part?

I started as soon as we found out we were having a boy at 12 weeks. I LOVE bringing an original idea to life so it has been fun. Frustrating at times, but still fun!

My favorite part was seeing it all come together in the end.


Did you do the entire nursery on your own or did someone help you? Who? What did they do?

Just me!


What do you love most about your little one's finished baby room?

I love that it is like no other nursery out there. My little man gets his own one-of-a-kind room!
