    DIY: Fabric toy bags

    April 7, 2015 /

I had so much fun doing this nursery, it definitely came with its share of challenges for such a tiny room.  I did not have a massive budget, so a lot of the items were DIY projects and it was a teeny-tiny space so I had to be very creative with the space layout. I will be sharing some of the DIY projects in the coming weeks. This was the initial moodboard I did for the room I made changes to the location of the crib and the type of changing station I was using. This was due to some…
