But one thing I just can't decide on?
The light fixture.
After perusing the lighting section at Lowe's and nothing was calling our name - and with the nearest Ikea being hours away - I figured that we'd just have to get our hands dirty and DIY some sort of lighting fixture if we want something fun and unique for the little guy's room.
And I immediately thought of this DIY string pendant light found here on the Crafty Nest.
It's a West Elm Abaca pendant lamp knockoff (see below), but it's fun, customizeable, and pretty sweet looking. Oh, and I love West Elm's stuff, so of course I'm totally in love with it - especially the price tag, which looks to be about $35.
What do you think? Yay? Nay? Would you hang a light fixture like this in the room?

I love it! I've seen these before and think they would be great for the nursery (although I'm not sure where the rest of the room is going yet - but am dying to find out). I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! I literally just put up our light fixture in the nursery this weekend...an ikea light to be exact! We're also hours away but I needed it!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Seriously I have everything but our art figured out for the nursery. I mean I am due in also 5 weeks...I should probably get it together! :p
Just recently started following your blog- so a belated congrats on your coming addition! I love these light fixtures- I have seen them on pinterest several times and would love to give them the ol' diy try but you know, so many projects so little time. :) These fixtures are great because they are versitile and could grow with the room- and baby!
ReplyDeleteI say go for it!
