Modern Nursery Ideas
Thrifty
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.

Holly has has always been a stylish person. I’ve known her fourteen-ish years, and she has always maintained a one step ahead edge. I’m so pleased to see her skills in a new format. Lovely!
