This is what the room looks like from the doorway. My mom made the curtains for me & I transformed the chandelier by painting it & adding some bling.
I found the furniture on Craigslist & gave it new life with a few coats of paint.
The Humpty Dumpty lamp was in my nursery. My mom painted it & covered the shade in toile when Zeke was born. I accessorized the dresser with some picture frames from Wal-Mart, a bird from Hobby Lobby, & a paper mache hat box I decorated.
The chair was a $5 find from the Habitat for Humanity Restore. My mom recovered it for my son's nursery. My mother-in-law made the blanket on the chair & I made some of the pillows. The kids made the teddy bear as a gift for Evalyse. I found the basket at Garden Ridge & recently made the floor pillow following this tutorial.

I hung some DIY art above this small chest.
I made some pom poms to hang near the crib & framed some Vintage Printables above it.
My mom made the toile comforter & bed skirt. I made the pillows with some leftover fabric. These are just for decoration & are NOT in the crib when the baby is in it! It is not safe for babies to sleep with pillows, blankets, or even stuffed animals.
Here is a reminder of what the room looked like a few months ago:
It's come a long way since then!
When I was choosing a theme for my oldest child's nursery, I picked a gender neutral theme & colors so I could use it for his future brothers or sisters. This worked well for us & saved us a good chunk of change. You can read about how his nursery evolved into Elie's nursery in this post.
Although I think the room turned out great, this is definitely my favorite accessory in the room:
