Using diy projects and fun finds, we designed a contemporary baby animal-themed nursery for our daughter, Liv. The nursery includes a made-over Jenny Lind Craigslist changing table, a modern glider revamp, handmade crib bedding, a fabric-lined bookcase, plenty of diy art, a fabric pennant in fun patterns, handmade fabric basket liners, striped walls and hand painted, life size baby animals (by artists in our family!).
