Guest room

Teddy’s ‘creature’ nursery came about loosely.  We wanted a colorful, functional, and playful nursery for our first child.

A modern, bright, clean and functional nursery that needs to occasionally double as a guest room.

The room already started out with the walls being painting with a sunkist yellow by Benjamin Moore. Then came the pottery barn bed with a pull out mattress below for guest and someday my child’s sleepovers. We purchased the dresser at pottery barn kids with the thought that someday this will be a changing table with the purchase of a topper. The bed is in  a neutral color with a shabby chic style. Once we new we were pregnant it was time to add the other elements. 

Since we had to combine our second son’s nursery with our guest bedroom so the grandparents would still have somewhere to sleep when they visited, we chose a themeless and timeless classic blue room with furniture that doubles as guest bedroom furniture as well as serving the typical nursery needs. We also wanted the nursery to still be all about our son despite the addition of a big guest bed. The space is so calming and relaxing!

My friends requested that I help them convert their spare room into a nursery while also keeping its function as a guest room. They had already purchased most of the major furniture so I just had to add a few extra pieces and create a cohesive design. Please enjoy my inspiration board!
