 Cassie. That's just cute. She's giving her birth right now. Oh, dear God. Two, one. Oh my God. Welcome back to the channel. Today we are doing kind of an impromptu makeover for my good friend Cassie. Now she's actually giving birth right around the corner. Her due date was two days ago, believe it or not, but she's doing a home birth and it is her first birth. So they mentioned that it could come later. With that, I feel like I have time to do her nursery space. So I was like, Cassie, can I redo your nursery? Like just for like two days, three days, a quick nursery makeover, because I've never actually done a nursery makeover on the channel other than the Sons of Family one, which was kind of inside of a bigger video that had six makeovers and one. So I figured we are going to makeover Cassie's nursery for her baby that is actually currently genderless. We do not know if it's going to be a boy or a girl. So with this nursery, we have to make sure that it stays rental friendly and it also has to be gender neutral. So I want to keep those in mind. I honestly kind of love having design parameters sometimes. So these two are pretty good. And the room is actually really cute itself. I want to give you guys a little bit of a look. So far, there's only this dresser in here, which they actually had from their previous home, but the room itself is actually painted this kind of topi color with this white trim. And it's a pretty small room. I would say it's a 10 by 10 exact square, a window, Justin's hiding in the corner. Why are you looking around in glasses and corn? You looked like Willy Wonka when I turned off the candy vibes. They're very smaller, but it's perfect for a nursery. It's like a perfect size. We actually brought this rug, which this rug is from the Sons of Family Makeover. So perfect. Oh my gosh, Justin kind of sit for 10 months for a baby. Like, isn't that so comfy for a baby? Yeah. So Cassie and Elton already had this dresser before. So we want to kind of keep use of it and then maybe do like some changing situation on top, like changing table vibes. I don't know, never had a kid. So we have our crib components in the corner. I actually found all of this on an offer up listing for $240. And this is a West Elm crib. And it came with a new mattress. It came with like a mattress wrapper for it. Basically, the lady said that she had got this for her nursery and then she had her kid staying in her room. And then he completely outgrew by the time he went back to the room. So she basically sold this as almost brand new. Has this great wooden base to it as well. So we are going to start assembling this. Need a little Allen key for that crib. So we're going to go to Target. And I also want to see if Target has some cute stuff. I've never got to look at their selection for like baby items. And I've always wanted to. So today's the opportunity to do so. Wow, look at this Target's arch. That's a nice arch. Wait, that is kind of cute. I didn't even see those until you lifted them up. I was joking about them, but they are. Wait, can we have a boy and a girl doll like these two? Yeah. This is Cassie. And this is Eldon when he was blonde. Back from Target with the little Allen wrench. And now we can tighten up the crib and put it in position. I think my new size of mattress I want for my room is baby mattress size. Before heading over to Cassie's today, I got a bunch of felt out from the drawer. Ooh, this is just almost fell off. And I also got a little template online. I actually got this on Etsy. I just printed a template. I'll link it below for you guys if you're curious. We're going to use the felt, some embroidery floss and a needle to essentially create some kind of felted woodland animals that I'm going to then turn into a little mobile above the crib, which I'm excited about. I thought whilst creating these, since it's pretty straightforward, I could talk about today's video sponsor, which is BetterHelp. And as many of you guys know, I am someone that has struggled quite a bit in my life when it comes to anxiety and depression. I went through a whole spiral. The BetterHelp was a service and app that I used that I absolutely loved and made it so easy to actually get quality therapy because I was the kind of person that just would put it off and put it off and never actually show up or go in anywhere. I just needed the convenience of it being in front of me on my phone. And I wanted to include this in today's video because there might be a mom out there or someone who knows a mom who might be going through a little bit of postpartum depression who could use a service such as BetterHelp. And it's not only for people struggling with anxiety or depression. It could be something even interfering with your happiness or preventing you from achieving a goal that BetterHelp can help you out with. Starting therapy can definitely be hard and finding the right therapist for you can also be a bit of a challenge, but with over 30,000 therapists, BetterHelp has a wide range of therapists and you can fill out a questionnaire to get matched up with one, in most cases within 48 hours or less. Over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to start living a healthier and happier life. If you think you're somebody that might benefit from therapy, definitely consider BetterHelp.

Well, I guess the mushroom's not an animal, but look how cute the fox looks. I still have to finish up the raccoon and the bunny, but those are gonna finish off our little mobile and I think they're so cute. Oh, it's a little baby. I just got over to Cassie's for another day of installing the nursery. And look what we have here. This incredible bookcase. I've always wanted to actually see this in person. This is the Isabelle bookcase from Urban Outfitters. And I found this on Marketplace yesterday and the guy actually said that the price included delivery. And I was like, you know what? I'm going to get this bookcase. It's gonna be like such a great piece. They could have this for years and years. I feel like this is the perfect piece for a child's room. But I do wanna give it a bit of a paint job because the white is just how it always comes. And I feel like I've always seen the Isabelle bookcase look like this. In the paint color I chose is called Melode Ivory from Benjamin Moore. I got this in the advanced satin finish. And then I got a little ruler set, two brushes as well, because Marie and I are going to be painting this. You can see the current dresser here. And I actually picked up some new knobs right here, which we're going to swap out on the dresser. They're kind of like this little ceramic crackle flower knob. And I got enough to go on the dresser and then two more to go on the closet doors. It has been probably about a week since I last talked to you guys or have been in this nursery because Cassie actually gave birth the day after I was working on the space last. So they needed about a week or so to get situated and everything. And they weren't gonna be using the nursery anyways because the baby was just gonna be in their room and such and I just met the baby. So freaking cute. Oh my gosh, we have to tie up this nursery today. I'm very, very excited about this because everything's starting to come together. We have the bookshelf over here which is looking very like minty on camera. It's more of like a yellow color in person, which I really love. The nursery was going to be gender neutral, if you remember. That was kind of the basis and premise of the makeover because they didn't know what gender baby they were going to have. But now we do know it is a boy. So I'm going to kind of inject a couple of masculine elements into the space because as you guys know, I kind of have more of a masculine design style. For example, this kind of fun ship art made from matchsticks, but I thought it was like such a cool play on kind of like a childish vibe. Like I can see this painted in like pretty colors for a child's ring, but this is more of like a lone fox edition, you know? Got some fabric from the fabric store because we are actually gonna be making curtains for this space. We mounted a rod last week and we got this fabric so I'm gonna share it with you. Wasn't able to check the fabric color in here before. So hopefully this looks good. And what I can see is actually really pretty. This was also kind of a choice that I made when the nursery was gonna be more gender neutral, but it works so well with the color palette. We're easy curtain panel. So I just purchased the fabric from the fabric store and per panel I do about three yards. I might add one yard after like for the total amount of panels just for any overage. And all I do is I just sew a hem onto one side and then I clip it up just like this using some curtain rings. Then at the bottom of that, when it's literally hanging from the curtain rings, I'll just cut off a little bit extra. This is where that extra yard comes in handy or you can get an extra half yard or something just so you have a little bit of extra to work with. I bring my sewing machine over or I'll just take it right off those curtain rings and sew up that bottom hem. I normally will just leave the salvage edge on either side. You can sew it if you wanted to but the salvage edge always, I think it's kind of a cute touch. It has a little bit of a frayed detail to it. So I added on the second panel here as you could see, I just brought the sewing machine over, put it on top of this little ottoman and sewed the hem on the bottom there quickly. And this was just super simple and easy. I was able to create custom curtains that match the style I wanted. I just couldn't find anything in stores that I really loved and this was only about $100 for two panels. I also decided to use some of my extra fabric to create almost a little bed skirt because you could see kind of the mechanism on the inside that held up the bed. So I created a little bed skirt with some extra fabric and I just cut it and put it under the mattress. The curtains are hung and they look so good. And then over on this wall, you guys saw that we have our dresser. I also added a lamp. Now I found the lamp shade, which is so cute at the flea market for like 15 bucks and a little glass base at Target. And so this is gonna be a little lamp over here. Just a little, they have this little set of boots that I'm going to just put on top of here. I actually found this at an estate sale. It's made from matchsticks, if you could see. The entire piece is made from matchsticks. And my last little finishing touch, I'm gonna add these little canisters, which I guess you could put whatever baby changing items you need in here. But of course the drawers are for that. So they plan on putting like the diapers and everything in the drawers. These are just kind of like canisters that I might just pop on top. So imagine we would just have like kind of the changing table addition here. So once that comes, they could pop it on top of the dresser. I have had this mirror for years. It might be my first ever home purchase I think I ever made. It was from Anthropology. It was $98, but I remember getting it for like $30 on sale and thinking that I had gotten the best score of my entire life. I had this up in so many apartments and houses. So I think this could be a really cute little addition. Kind of adds to the sailor. It feels kind of like a porthole almost. So I'm gonna hang this here. Cute, I love that. I might have picked up a ottoman while it was at Target. Now I know Cassie and Ellen actually have like a little glider that they have in their room that they've been using and they're gonna transfer it into here whenever they want to do so. But it will just give like an area if you do need to sit or set something down and it's really lightweight, movable. It's padded as well. So it's not gonna be like too intense. And I thought I can just kind of live over on the side of the crib. So I recently shared that I came out with my new collection of artwork with Desenio. And I had to put the Beagle print in here. I mean, how perfect is this for a nursery? I really wanted to make a piece that could fit in every room. And this was kind of like the nursery, child room print that I did. There are definitely other ones that could fit in a nursery space. But I loved the colors of this. It goes with our palette. And I'm going to just put it right on the wall here because it really is like the perfect space next to the curtains that we added. About to add one of the cutest elements to this room. And Cassie and Ellen actually got this little, well it's actually kind of big, this neon sign made that says Chevy which is the name of their baby. And I was playing around with it. And how perfect does it fit up here? Like, are you kidding? Like, how perfect is that? So cute. It looks so good. For the bookshelf over here, which I ended up painting this kind of soft yellowy color, which I love with the wall color and just everything in this room. It's so pretty. So I want to add a lamp to this one here. And I have this little wooden riser that I brought. So I thought we can kind of give the lamp a little boost. I picked this up at Target on the way just because we needed a quick and affordable lamp. And the great thing about this bookshelf is it actually has holes in the back. You just string the cords through and then just have it go right out. So I would add some of the books up into the top section and then maybe a few more over on this side. A leant French Bulldog up here. Got these at Target too. I thought they were cute. Just to add some styling. Had to get this box, of course. And their plant right in the center of them. And then this little scallopy woven tray. Just kind of off to the side or maybe I'll leave it open actually. Elton and Cassie have all these little cute Nikes. So I'm going to pop them in this little shelf down here, which is like the perfect little shoe shelf. I've been excited about this one since the start of the video. On our first Target run, we found this little basket. It goes like this. And it's actually from the kids' section. It's from like pillow fort. But I thought, what if we made a little mobile that went over the crib and attached the ceiling and then we hung some things from this. And this was kind of like the base of it. So we actually ended up creating these little felt animals. There's a fox. This one is a little mushroom. This one's the cutest, honestly. The raccoon, look how good that is. And these are just gonna hang from our little mobile. So I'm going to attach these. And it's really lightweight. I mean, this is like a very, as you guys can see, simple basket. We are now bringing in something that I think is extremely helpful. And I know many moms rave about this. Many parents do. This is a SNU Smart Sleeper by Happiest Baby. And if you've never heard of the SNU before, it is a responsive bassinet that uses white noise in motion to boost baby sleep and calm down crying. I'm going to link this below. They kindly sent this over for Cassie for the nursery. It's actually been about a month since this video has been filmed. And she said that the SNU is probably one of the best things that she could have ever gotten. Look what came five minutes before the reveal. Literally five minutes before the little topper came. So perfect. We can reveal it with everything. The room's looking so good. And I'm about to go grab Cassie and Elden. I've not done a reveal in so long. I'm genuinely nervous right now. But I'm also very excited because this room looks so cute. So I'm gonna call for Cassie. Is it closed? And then I'll just open the door like this. And I guess you guys can just like open them now. Oh my gosh, ready? Yeah. Okay, ready? Okay, ready? Three, two, one. Oh my gosh. Wow, I didn't expect this at all. This looks so good. The same house? Yeah, isn't it so cute? I know, the neon stuff. I've had this since I was like Sharpe's coming up. It's so cute. I love Sharpe's. Where is this dresser from before? What's your little changing area on it? Oh, it's so cute. And then this was made by a prisoner. It's actually all made from matchsticks. Which is kind of cool, but I thought it was like a cool, kind of like masculine touch. Literally? Yeah, it's all made from like real matchsticks. Oh my gosh, that's crazy. Ooh, it smells like fresh bean in here too. Which is so cool. I love it. How cute. Do you like it? And then, oh my gosh, Molly and Kola are obsessed with the rug in here. And it's so good, the rug. It's so comfy. Yeah. Okay, I want something very squishy on our feet because I know this is gonna be like our new hangout spot. But everything else, you got full control. You literally do anything you want. And this is like... Well, I wanted to keep it neutral because at the start, it was like gender neutral. And then today I added like a couple more, like the green additions and just like a couple like this too. I wasn't gonna add this if it was like gender neutral, you know? And then I bought that bookcase that you wanted. This looks so good. It's from Urban and I love the, I think the colors, I was gonna do the green, but then I was like, I feel like yellow is so gender neutral too that I could be like, and it just works. So I feel like it's so cute. Because did you tell them that when we started the project, we still didn't know baby's gender? Yeah. So then, he was born and we found out. So I think Drew added like touches of like a little more. I mean, this is still can be a girl. That's from my collection, from my Descendio print collection. How cute. And that's so cute. It's a mommy. So well. Yeah. Dude, everything looks so good. Like you guys really did that. I know you're like really like clean too. Like clean and like simple. So I wanted to keep it like clean and simple, but still like a little long boxy. We love it. Yeah. Honestly, this is like perfect. And it goes with already the wall. I know that when you were like, I don't really want to paint the walls. I was like, no, the wall color is so pretty. It looks so good. Everything just blends right in. Yeah. I love it. And then we may see this little mobile and we sewed all these little. You made those? Yeah. This is so cute. Isn't it cute? Yeah. It's giving. It's giving long socks. Oh, it was going to be called. What was I going to call it? Like little. Little Fox. Little Fox. Little Fox. Oh my gosh. I want to have like a kids line one day and call it Little Fox. Yeah. Pottery barn kids is shaking right now. Yeah, right? Look at these little. It's there too. We're going to move it too. Oh no, they can't. Oh, I love this rug. And we just threw a stout. And did a little bed skirt here. Oh wow. DIY the house that boogits mama. So we just turned on the neon sign. And we know how to explosion of reaction. It looks so good. This could be on like all night too. I know, yeah. Instead of using the lounge. Yeah. If you want to. If you want to use it. That's really bright actually. I know. And I think that maybe some of them like connect up to the thing like maybe. Oh yeah. I think we'll be able to do that. This side cool. Yeah, that side. Yeah.
