						Description:
						I had so much fun designing my first child's room. I took everything I loved from the Project Nursery and put it all together. I did not want one theme for the nursery so I went with a little of everything. I hope that this room can grow with him too!
					
    • 
																			
  • 
						Design Inspiration:
						
    Project Nursery! I looked at tons of nurseries from the gallery and narrowed it down to two of my favs (Ethan's Room and A through Z)! From there, I picked my favorite things from both rooms and added my own special touches.
    
					
    • 
																			
  • 
						Decorating Style:
						
    I loved the ABC wall I had seen here! I had also found vintage airplanes that I knew I wanted to incorporate.
    
					
    • 
																			
  • 
						Project Details:
						
    I have a little bit of everything from a little bit of everywhere. My mother and I found the furniture for cheap and painted it all. My mother-in-law made the striped curtains. I picked up letters for the ABC wall along the way and odered what I needed to fill in from various online sites. The bedding is Skip Hop and the mobile came from Restoration Hardware. Everything else I pieced together as I found it.

  • 
						Favorite Items:
						
    I love the vintage airplanes, blanket my mother made, and ABC wall.
    
					
    • 
																			
  • 
						Advice:
						
    Start looking early! I did not spend a ton of money, but I did get inspired early which helped me to pull it all together over time. Also, I saved alot of money making things on my own (wall hooks, Emerson sign, growth chart, etc.)

    Hi!
    
The changing pad cover is from babies r us. 
    

    The A and Z are from an Etsy store called Mr.Woody. I believe they are 3 feet tall.

    Love the nursery.  My daughter is looking for a dresser/changing table like yours.  Where did you find it?

    I hope imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery because I am in LOVE with Emerson’s nursery and have already started the Alphabet wall and purchased the Skip Hop bedding for our son Will, due June.  Thanks for all the great ideas!  You are so creative!

    Do you remember what paint color you used for the dresser? I’ve purchased the same crib and have a dresser ready to repaint.

    Hi! I know these are little details, but where did you find the basket on the changing table? And how did you attach the horseshoe to the wall? Is it a real horseshoe? Mine does not have holes in it…
    

    Thanks!

    The dresser was a yard sale find that I painted…I have no idea what color white. So sorry! I got paint chips and matched them as close as possible to the crib. 
    

    The basket came from michaels and my horseshoe has holes :( its a hobby lobby find.

    one more question, so sorry! I really like what you did with the little table next to the rocker. Can you give me specifics on what it is, how you got it, and how you painted it? I love the look! It’s so great, you are one gifted/crafty lady! :)

    Where did you get the letters for his name or did you make them?  If so, how?

    Where did you find the airplane on the wall?? My husband is a pilot and we want to do an airplane nursery when we have a boy, but I am having trouble finding a plane to fly the letters of his name behind!  Any advice would be much appreciated!

    Absolutely love this room!  You did an amazing job.
    
Question – what paint color are the walls?
