Gray walls, gray carpet, chevron valances, and dark wood furniture meld to create a calm environment for baby Jack.
Design Inspiration:
Other Project Nursery entries! Once we started with the gray walls, we just worked throughout the pregnancy to build the room. I liked the modern look of chevron, the colorful animal alphabet, and the contrast of the dark wood to the lighter walls and carpet.
Decorating Style:
Modern eclectic, creative... Overall resourceful.
Project Details:
The alphabet on twine - Letter cards are from Etsy and I hung them on twine with mini clothespins.
Chevron curtains - homemade by my mother-in-law. Fabric by Carousel Designs.
Button Map of America - handmade - I sewed buttons from our family onto a piece of stretched canvas. Canvas from Joanne's.
Baseball sign and Gray words sign - from Marshall's.
"Jack" name sign - handmade - we bought a wooden frame, cardboard letters, and a piece of gray matting. We spraypainted the letters red and glued them onto the matting. We opted to remove the glass for a more modern look.
Crib and dresser/changer - by Babyletto
Chair - Best Chair brand, upholstered in Charcoal Gray.
Favorite Items:
The button map turned out to be really cool - I wasn't sure how it'd look in the end, but it's neat to have something with buttons from both my family and my husband's.
The chevron curtains were a cute, cheap alternative to many of the store-bought options. The modern look pulls the room together.
My swivel/rocker is awesome! It's a neutral gray color that can easily transition into the living room when the baby is done nursing. We are really happy with the small size of the rocker - it fits well into our older home (small bedrooms).
Advice:
Start early and take your time accumulating stuff. I found that this was more fun than buying a bedroom-in-a-box at a huge store. The items are unique to this nursery and were each selected to go there. My husband and I worked together to create something really special for our baby.

I like the baseball artwork. The button art piece is a great concept, but if it were me, I’d probably choose something easily identifiable in shape, especially for a child.
