Connor's nursery is bright and colorful room, filled with an eclectic mix of animal details and DIY projects. It focuses on our love of animals, books, crafts and color.
Design Inspiration:
When I found out we were having a baby boy, I knew that I wanted his nursery to be bright, colorful, energetic and fun. No pastels or soothing colors here. I wanted something that would be able to grow with him as he got older and keep his attention. I started out with the colors green and orange. I thought a green wall would be fun, with bright orange accent pieces. I later added teal to the equation to brighten it up a bit more and make it more "boy." Since my husband and I are both animal lovers, I added lots of animal details like a cardboard deer head, a zebra rug, a frog rocker and tons of stuffed animals. I also have a love affair with children's books, so a homemade display bookcase was a must.
My favorite item has to be the bookshelves, made by my father. What a great way to display all the wonderful books from childhood and a great way to add color and character to the room.
Advice:
My advice would be to make sure you incorporate items that are special and meaningful to you into the room. Decorating a nursery for your child is a labor of love and should reflect who you are, as well as the child. Don't be dissuaded from using an item just because it's not pastel or doesn't scream baby.

I love it! This is exactly the color scheme we’re going for with our son’s nursery. Our green turned out a tad brighter, so I wish I saw this before we painted!! Oh well.
Also, I love the bookcases. I would love to have a whole “reading corner” like that, but don’t think we’ll have the space once we put in baby’s furniture. I’ll have to find an alternative.
Thanks for the inspiration!!
(p.s. I meant to hit 5 stars, and it went with three and won’t let me vote again. Sorry to mess up your rating!)
