In this boys nursery makeover, I’m walking you through my whole process—from designing the room to actually implementing it—without blowing the budget. I’m all about making a space feel intentional and cozy while still being realistic for real life (and real budgets), so I focused on affordable upgrades that give you the biggest visual impact. Think: a soft rug to anchor the room, simple window treatments that instantly elevate the space, and functional pieces that still feel cute and pulled together. I also share a few of my favorite budget-friendly DIYs that make the nursery feel custom without paying “custom” prices. I love taking basic pieces and adding small details (like leather pulls and styled shelving) to get that high-end look for less. And because this is a baby space, I’m always thinking about keeping it practical—easy to maintain, easy to organize, and set up in a way that supports day-to-day routines. Also, I asked you guys a question in this one: did you announce your kiddo’s name before they were born, or did you wait?
