I absolutely love putting together spaces in our home, making them our own. We like to make a lot of our own pieces, while keeping things fairly minimal. Mr. M was pretty adamant that I wasn’t to “go crazy” with the nursery, which was a challenge that I embraced.

We live in a three bedroom small-side home and had one of two rooms to choose for the nursery. In the end, we actually chose the smallest room in the house. Our home is on the older side and since Canadian winters are no joke, we chose the bedroom with the newest windows and only one exterior wall. The space was in need of a paint job, new curtains and a dresser. The crib and chair were given to us and from there, we had a few art projects that I wanted to do  and Mr. M made the shelves. We wanted the space to inspire the outdoors, be neutral and reflect our lifestyle.

In the end, I think we achieved a great starting point for this space. We’re excited to see it evolve over time and grow with our little one.
