- A Project For: Wyatt
- Age: 3 weeks
- Location: Chesapeake, VA
-
Description:
When we found out that we were having a boy, I envisioned a bright, bold, and colorful nursery where he would feel most comfortable, and love playing, reading, rocking, and falling asleep in his own special place.
-
Design Inspiration:
We are renting our home, and Wyatt's nursery was the only bedroom that was painted when we moved in. We thought the aqua walls would be perfect for a nursery, no matter whether we were having a boy or a girl. Once we found out we were having a baby boy, I found inspiration in the Project Nursery gallery, on Pinterest, and from fabric swatches used by several Etsy artists. Airplanes are scattered throughout the nursery, as my husband is a pilot!

Decorating Style:
My decorating style is modern contemporary, tying together unique elements with a common thread that unifies the room. I also have a "look for less" attitude, and try to achieve my targeted style on a reasonable budget.

Favorite Items:
There are so many items in this nursery that I love! The crib is one of my favorites. BabyMod makes a solid pinewood crib that's eco-friendly, and budget conscious, purchased from Walmart. The two-toned design tied in the other white and amber wooden furniture that were used in the nursery. I also loved creating and displaying the DIY projects, including the wall letters, the framed artwork with Wyatt's initials, and the felt airplane banner. The glider is also a favorite for its modern design and comfort.

Advice:
Create a nursery that's pleasing to you and your baby. You will be spending a lot of time in the nursery, and will continue to enjoy all of the design elements that make the room unique and special.
