Warm Industrial, Restoration Hardware and Modern Nursery

When we found out we were having a baby boy I knew that I wanted to create a warm, inviting, unique atmosphere for our special little guy. I was inspired by Restoration Hardware but wanted subtle hints of sweet and masculine features to be incorporated as well. My objective was to maintain an environment that had more than just a baby feel, but even gave a warm feeling to whoever walked in.

Arctic Explorer 1st birthday party

Having a winter birthday party in Brooklyn, NY forced a little extra creativity. Outside lavish garden parties with lovely tents and strings of lights just wouldn’t really be ideal in this climate. Although those are the kinds of parties I dream of throwing! I kept seeing winter party ideas but none of them really fit into my vision. I wanted something with a stronger theme to build upon. Then I had this idea of an Arctic Explorer theme!

Cole’s “A is for Airplane” Nursery

When I found out I was having a boy I was very excited for two reasons.  One reason is because I love little boys and the other reason was because we weren’t going to have to repaint our navy blue room!  I wanted the room to have lots of color and I loved the ideas of the ABC’s and some airplanes because my husband wants to be a pilot.  I had such a blast decorating and did most of it myself or had family help out to keep the costs down.  It is such a happy room and most of the decorations will grow up with him for several years to come.
