Mini Nursery Tour: Sarah Jane's Nursery

Location: Fort Wayne, Indiana
Baby's name, age: Cash, 4 months old

We found this beautiful nursery Sarah Jane designed for her little boy Cash on Flickr. The subtle use of color drew us to her photos. The attention to details - like Antoine the donkey, vintage children's books, a pewter cup and a silver spoon lining the shelf - impressed us.

Sarah Jane explains her decorating style:

I tend to decorate in a bit of a hodge-podge style--some new, some found, some hand-made. I bought the shelf above the changing table at Pottery Barn Kids, the rug at Urban Outfitters, and the diaper pail at World Market.

We found the plant stand/book shelf at a garage sale, the dresser for $60 at an antique mall in St. Paul, MN (which we had to shove in the back of our station wagon and still squeeze in four adults), and the vintage paint-by-numbers at a small-town festival.

Cash's nursery sort of started with the Hatch Show Print posters Wes and I picked up in Nashville last year. (See first pic.) I liked the muted reds and the blues and wanted to try to bring more of those colors ito the room.

I never stick to any original plan I might make up, but the room constantly changes as I find and make new items.

(Thanks, Sarah Jane!)

Creative but different & nonconformist. Plus, the baby won't outgrow it in five minutes. Nice job!
