This nursery is charming; it’s the stuff of fairytales and dreams.
The backdrop is a home in the English countryside. The walls, floors and doors are etched with memories. The heroine is named Celeste. Her days are filled with wonder - surrounded by nature - did the owl speak to me?

This lovely nursery is filled with an eclectic collection of artworks, patterns and toys. There’s a home-made wallhanging, kokeshi dolls, softie monsters on the bed and a bird mobile from Nora’s great grandmother.
The room is pulled together by colour and attention to form. Although the space houses a variety of objects, the clean lines ensures the room remains uncluttered.
Congratulations Taryn!

I’ll tell you the moral to this story upfront; check out your local thrift store and transform a bargain into something beautiful!
It takes a bit of vision and a lot of elbow-grease, but with the removal of the dull brown paint off a $20 dresser and a lick of Red Hot… you can reveal a masterpiece like Holly and her husband! Don’t forget the knobs… shiny like the chrome on an old Chevy at a fraction of the price (under $4 each from Home Depot).
The rest of the room is decorated with a variety of vintage toys, art and accessories mixed with some gorgeous original works by Chris Milk Hulburt.
