Dina @ Honey + Fitz's Profile

I pinned this same image on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago and have been meaning to blog it. Think of all the amazing creatures you could make with just a jigsaw, MDF and some chalk spray paint!

Awesome! We have the real deal (from CB2) in our nursery but I love this tutorial! It was definitely a bit of a splurge for us. This DIY looks great for a fraction of the price.

I keep diapers, wipes and ointment/powder in a caddy thingy on the changing table surface (I have this one in slate and I love it). Within easy reach I think it's key to have more diapers and onsies, socks, pjs, etc. Stuff you'll likely need to change the baby into often and don't want to be running to closet to get. The top drawers in our changing table are dedicated to those items. All other clothes are in his closet. Hope that helps!

can you tell us a little more about the overall design of the room? that might be helpful in suggesting a fabric. colors? theme? gender? generally feeling?

Knox's mom here again. Thank you all for the support! The brass elephant hooks are a vintage find via Etsy. The glider was an eBay find that I had reupholstered and the crib bedding was largely DIY because despite some exhaustive searching, I couldn't find cute, non-girly yellow & gray bedding. I made the bumpers and the skirt. The fitted sheet is by Dwell Studio.

I agree that you need to go all/mostly white with the furniture to counterbalance the brown walls. I think I would keep the bedding and curtain treatments mostly white as well with just some throw pillows and coverlets in whatever accent color you do (you could do aqua & a bright pink which would be a nice playful combo with the brown). Good luck!

I want the giant head too! Doesn't look like they ship to the States but I've sent an email asking. I'll post back here what I hear.
