Bennett’s Navy and Gray Nursery

2012 01 20 D700_14520

A Project For: Bennett
Age: 2 months
Location: NC
Description:
When we found out we were having our second boy, I embraced the blues and grays and greens I was hesitant to use the first time. Somewhere along the way I noticed that all the accessories were animal or map related (or both in some instances!).
Design Inspiration:
My starting point was two rugs: Dash and Albert's Seaboard Stripe and Serena and Lily's Navy Deco rug. I went with Deco rug, and brought in the Seaboard Stripe in the fabrics,from D&A's sister company.
Decorating Style:
Eclectic
Project Details:
Note - images 1 and 2 (the good ones, ha ha) are from our newborn photos, Amanda Holbrook Photography
Fabric for drapes and crib skirt - Seaboard Stripe, Pinecone Hill
Rug - Serena and Lily's Navy Deco
Crib - Bratt Decor
Crib sheet - Bamboo Trellis in Indigo, Annette Tatum
Glider and slipcover - Serena and Lily
Green knitted pouf - CB2
Changing pad and topper in cobalt - Olio
Antelope bust - Anthropologie
Artwork - Etsy (Rachel Austin, Studio Tuesday, and Sycamore Street Press)
Origami map spheres - Etsy, Elizabeth St
Favorite Items:
I love the oversized blue pom trim that I added, and the no sew crib skirt that I made with my husband's help. But Bennett loves the origami spheres - they sway with the fan, and are mesmerizing to him!
Advice:
Have fun!

Thanks so much!! The shelves are from Pottery Barn Kids, but I bought them a few years ago when I did our first nursery…

Pottery Barn Kids – also a holdover from our first nursery so not sure if they are still available, although I have seen them on Ebay fairly recently. I just changed the shade this time :)
