The great thing about do-it-yourself is that you can cater your projects to fit the nursery perfectly. Renbarger custom-made the curtains and flag for the room, and her husband revamped a dresser that belonged to him as a boy.

Bold Bedding

Don't be afraid to use bright colors and patterns with the bedding. This adventurous design is held together with the white crib and grey walls. One note: Remove any stuffed animals before Baby goes to bed!

If you know your little one's name already, it's nice to personalize the room before he even arrives. Even if you don't, a few family photos make the room cozy.
