With a little one due in December, I have shifted my home decor thoughts to outfitting a nursery. The marketplace is full of options for the baby's room, but I don't want it to feel like I grabbed everything from a catalog. I like to add handmade touches to most rooms in my house, and I think the nursery will be an especially wonderful place to introduce some handmade elements that will create a unique and special place for my baby.
From mobiles to blankets and smaller decorative touches, there are so many great options for hand-crafted items that will add style to this oh-so important room. — Daniela from Aesthetic Oiseau
