Alligator Nursery

Description

The day I found out I was having a boy I knew the exact color I wanted to paint his room. I also knew that I wanted lots of color so I incorporated it with his drapes and wall art. From the moment I spotted the alligator bedding I was hooked on it without even looking back.

Design Inspiration

My inspiration was the alligator bedding that I found. I bought it the day they told me I was having a boy. From there I decided what color to paint. I got many great ideas on Etsy which is where all of his wall art is from. I wanted something that was nautical, preppy, yet 100% boy.

 

Decorating Style

I have always loved nautical themes and though everyone told me not to buy anything white I love something that feels clean and crisp which is why I bought all white furniture.

Project Details

The alligator bedding, crib, rocking chair and curtains are all from pottery barn kids as well as the wall hook. The wall art is all from etsy.com and his changer/dresser is from Land of the Nod. I found a shop on Etsy that made my mobile based on my color scheme.  The large H is from Anthropologie

 

Favorite Items

His wall letter H from Anthropologie and his mobile.

 

Advice

I find that it can be hard to put all your ideas into a room and at times your mind changes. I kept something similar to a scrap book for ideas that I would paste different items in. The entire 9 months my mind had changed on ideas that I liked until about 2 months before my due date. Thats when I took all my favorite ideas and put them together to create his nursery
