Step Inside This Happy Nursery Full of Punchy Colors & Fun Treasures

Personally, I love it when people aren't afraid to go crazy with color. Especially in a nursery like this one from Holly over at Life as a Thrifter. She put together this eclectic room for daughter Ross with IKEA finds and thrift store treasures for a brightly finished space.
Click through below to see a few more beautiful details from this lovely baby's room.

Holly found all the letters for the alphabet wall online and paired them with a basic crib and rugs.

The entire room has such a light, happy feel to it, don't you think? I wonder if the yellow rocking chair is a family heirloom or a thrift store find. Either way, what luck!

IKEA Expedit shelving to the rescue! Those wire baskets are fantastic, and I'm loving all the fun little treasures tucked away in there.

A photo gallery family tree on this wall with baby pictures of Mom and Dad and grandparents on both sides. What a neat idea! I think the desk makeover is creative, too.

While I do find the overall concept adorable, I must agree with the first poster.

Now, whenever I got something new, that was a different story! New things in the rest of the house, that they didn't see every day... oooh boy! I started to put double sided gorilla tape on everything that they might pull down. Well, after the first 2 vases got smashed by my 6 month old, and countless books got eaten... O_o

Oh, good grief. I think the room is adorable, and seems no more dangerous than your standard living room.
Do you know what's dangerous for baby? Negligent parents that allow a baby to crawl around any room without supervision.

I agree about the rugs but otherwise I think it is super cute and shows how you can take cheap stuff and make something really stylish (footstool you could easily get a look alike for less than 20 and the second hand desk/end table are cute with the funky wallpaper dress up) Some paint on the walls and a comfy old rocker with a little fabric, cheap IKEA crib and some painted letters from a craft store and voila! However if you had to do the rugs they have those at IKEA too LOL. My oldest never required any baby proofing at all. I think the room looks really fun and creative. - mom of 4.

I like the color combo, I do not like the wall decor at all. I can some what see that for a play room, but it feels a bit messy for a bed room. Personally babies are busy all day (well at least the older ones up to toddler age) a bedroom is more of a place for peace and relaxation. A room that energetic just doesn't work for me...but I give props for creativity and originality. Besides I can name 20 things in that room my son would have destroyed by the end of the day.
