Striped curtains

This is our son’s contemporary green orange nursery and the conversion of our previous guest room into his bedroom!

A gender neutral nursery with pops of color and patterns.
 

Nursery for my unborn son, Owen.

I knew I was having a boy but didn’t want a masculine or cutesy nursery. I started with a color palette instead. It was a labor of love and the hardest part was picking out art for the room. I actually still have some white frames to put up on both sides of the window with some newborn portraits.

A nursery filled with wonderment for foster infants was my goal in this space and since San Francisco homes and apartments are notoriously small, narrow spaces, I used a large walk-in closet to try to create a warm, inviting nursery.  Bold colors layered with beautiful fabrics both brighten and soften the room, and my husband and I loved painting the ceiling pale blue which was an easy project that took no time at all.   It’s a joy to spend time here, especially knowing it will soon be home to babies who need a loving place to stay for a time, maybe even forever.

A room our little man can grow into with an eclectic mix of modern and industrial elements.

I’m a first time mom and nursery decorator. I wasn’t super impressed with the “boy-themed rooms in a box” options so I created my own design inspiration. 

This is Hooper’s big boy room!  We wanted to created a space that worked for him as he transitioned out of a crib and into a big boy bed, but that would also be able to grow with him as he got older.  

We didn’t have nine months to create a nursery for Collin, as we only found out two days before Collin was born, that we had been picked by his birthmom to adopt.  We took him home to an empty nursery.  We had the necessities but no cute room to bring him home too. But it was fun to create Collin’s nursery during those first few months of his life.  We went through a lot of years of infertility, loss and heartache trying to start our little family.  That all went away when we held our little boy for the first time.  For me the room captures that feeling of holding him the first time.  It makes me happy and I always feel peaceful while in his room.  

Colorful, Playful, Functional Playroom

Boy’s room with a color scheme and accessories that will grow with him.

We created a nursery that was gender neutral because we didnt know the sex at the time ( we now know he is a boy) and we tried to combine out modern taste with the sweet southern baby look to create a nursery both parents and son will like!
