Caleb’s Calming Nursery

A Project For: Caleb
Age: 4 months
Location: Texas
Description:
A calming, yet fun room out-of-the-box of traditional baby boy themes.
Design Inspiration:
We are raising our boys bilingually so I decided to incorporate the Spanish alphabet and numbers. The colors were based around the fabrics. Many of the ideas came from Pinterest.
Decorating Style:
Simple, contemporary
Project Details:
We had many DIY projects in this room. I painted a dresser, nightstand and bookcase that we already owned and my mom made the bedskirt, pennants, floor pillow, throw pillow and changer cover.

Favorite Items:
It's so hard to decide. I love the alphabet cards and my cozy corner with the rocker.
Advice:
Start early so you don't feel rushed into buying things. That way you can pick up cute items as you see them. I also carried around swatches of the fabric and paint colors with me, so if I saw something I could see if it would match (or coordinate).

Lovely nursery you have here. I like the simplicity, the practicality, and the fact that you didn’t go overboard with the details. I see a lot of unused space — both on the floor and on the wall — and I think it’s really nice you didn’t have the urge to fill it with more decorative elements.

I couldn’t agree more with everything you said, Neytiri! This room is simple, practical and overly done.
