We were using this empty upstairs bedroom as a workout room and had done absolutely NOTHING with it since we bought our home 4 years ago. When we found out we were expecting our first child, we wanted to make it a very special space for our baby to grow into. My husband and I worked for 3 months measuring, sawing, painting, and planning and I think we did a great job for carpentry novices! The room is a very small 11×11 so we wanted to add a lot of storage space and make it bright and airy. The closet was fairly deep, but not very big overall. When we took the doors off to paint, we found that it really opened the room up, so we decided to leave the doors off and design a built in wardrobe in the space instead. Additionally, we added panel style wainscoting and a built in storage bench on a wall that wasn’t very usable. When we found out we were having a little boy, we decided on a vintage airplane theme and classic colors. We absolutely adore this room and hope you do too!

My husband and I are expecting our first child in August; a baby boy who will be named Daniel Louis. We bought our first home 4 years ago in Austin, TX. The home was a new build and we love it, but it was builder basic EVERYTHING from the lineolium floors to the ugly light fixtures, we've been slowly remodeling the house room by room.
We were using the second upstairs bedroom as a home gym and decided to convert it into the nursery. We wanted to make a custom room for our baby boy to grow into. We are so excited for his arrival and wanted him to know just how much he was wanted and loved from the very beginning! We have finally finished his nursery and absolutely adore it...we hope you like it too!

This room is one of the ultimate baby boy rooms I have seen! And it’s amazing that you and your hubby did the carpentry together — and as first-timers at that! The room, overall, looks simple, clean, and very direct.

Very nice room you have here. It’s got a boyish charm to it, and it’s something that your son can definitely grow into. I particularly love the framed airplane pictures. And the artwork is indeed precious! And oh, you did a good job with the carpentry.

I love what you did to the closet! I am going to start working on the baby’s room this weekend and you have given me a lot of ideas. Beautiful nursery!!

This room is amazing and I am very impressed with your skills. We are expecting our 2nd child and I am taking inspiration from your room to create the new nursery. I love the closet the most. We have the same type of closet, it is deep, but not very functional. Thanks for the inspirations!

Thanks!

I recognize the crib from Pottery Barn. Is the dresser from Pottery Barn as well?

Where are the airplane photos on the wall from?

Having the hardest time finding simple but classic airplane photos like the ones you have on his wall. Where did you find such great prints?
