Her crib sheets are blue themed animals from DwellStudio. I couldn't find any matching fabric or curtains, but I did find a shower curtain online with the same theme. I cut the shower curtain in half, hemmed the seams and draped them on the new curtain rods we bought for her room. The curtain rods have leaves on the ends - the closest thing we could find to an Ivy themed curtain rod.
Whenever we lie her down in her crib, she stares and smiles at the hippopotamus. I had a large canvas left over from a previous intended craft project and a huge stack of blue card stock from my handmade card projects and I started some decopage 'artwork' to fill her barren walls. It's not finished yet, but I'm waiting for my muse to tell me how to finish it.
Finally, we wanted to have some sort of bookshelf for her large library of books (provided by friends and family - Many Thanks!!!). I didn't want to buy an expensive children's bookshelf, so I figured I could find something to repurpose in the house. In our last house, we had some furniture that we used to use to hang coats when we came in the back door (partially displayed below).
I flipped it over, removed the coat hooks and put furniture pads to protect the wood from the floor.
When she starts walking in several months, she'll be able to pull the books off the shelf by herself. In the meantime, we'll be able to easily reach them from the rocker during her bedtime routine. The rocker will soon replace the folding chair in the picture below.

What a great re-use for a bookshelf! I really like the hippo art as well :)
What wonderful decorating ideas! I love what you've done with Ivy's room. That hippo painting is awesome, too. So stylish! You could sell them on etsy!
The nursery looks great. Love the book shelf for Ivy. Glad you found a matching curtain.
