Wonka Adventure Themed Nursery

This nursery was so fun to design! My client’s have a very tasteful, classic and  colorful outlook for the rooms in their home, and their son’s nursery was no different!  The room itself is a very odd layout with lots of angles. It only took about 10 minutes of discussing the design direction with them before we were all very excited! They wanted something magical, adventurous and creative, but something their son can grow into as well.
The room is designed around a Willy Wonka mural, perfect for adventure and color, teamed up with a navy striped wallpaper that adds a boldness to all the angles. There will be no shortage of imagination and adventure for this sweet boy!

Striped Nursery

This is my third boy and second nursery in this room in less than 4 years, so I knew I wanted to change things up without having to repaint the entire room or purchase new furniture. I also wanted to make this a room that could grow with him. I found inspiration from different striped rooms/furniture/decor, pretty much wherever I saw a stripe pattern I liked. Then I played around with thickness of tape…using thin tape for some stripes and then even doubling up on thicker tape for different weight and contrast among the stripes. I used a peacock blue/green paint for the stripes and then last second added in some light grey to soften things up a bit. I found a super affordable and super soft, plush rug with a mix of blue and green at Ikea. Painted an old pegboard to give it some life and kept accessories very minimal to maximize space in the small room.

Woodland Nursery with Gold and Silver Stripes and Stars

I absolutely love designing, crafting, and creating beautiful things. This was my first baby and I was on the search for a crib that would be different than what you normally see and good quality. I wanted something gender neutral. I stumbled upon this beautiful crib at rhbaby Restoration Hardware Baby and Child’s website and fell in love. I tried to talk myself out of it because it was pricey for a crib. I decided to keep looking but I couldn’t find anything else that I could fall in love with. So I decided to go with my first love. I knew I wanted a wall of stars but I also wanted stripes. I was concerned that the both together would be too busy, especially in a small room. Then I was on the search for themes that I could incorporate in and I came up with a Woodland Theme. I loved the animal photos from Restoration Hardware but they where way overpriced. I was so happy to stumble upon a shop on Etsy that had similar photos at the fraction of the cost.  I took forever to  determine what size pictures I would put on the wall. The animal photos come in different sizes. I end up going with 12 8×10. I had found the garland from hobby lobby but I had to remove the pink. I stumbled upon the teal blue elephant and giraffe and that’s when I decided teal blue would be my accent color. I tend to get carried away with hanging pictures on the wall. I left one wall without photos. I’m happy with how it all came together at the end. Now only if I could get my little one to sleep in there.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Carter’s Classic Striped Nursery

We wanted Carter’s nursery to be a classic nursery befitting a little gentleman. The focal point of the nursery is the striped wall. I wanted the stripes to vary in size and color to create more visual interest and to stand out from your average stripes. I chose to stay with cool calming colors that complemented each other and fit the overall feel of the room. We had a mix of accessories for our little gent, from travel inspired pictures to vintage sports balls and of course we had to tie in some nautical pieces with our home being in San Diego. A lot of the items in the nursery were DIYed or customized by us. My favorite item might be the shelf that we made out of rope, galvanized pipes and painted wood. Another fun touch were the handprinted knobs on his dresser that looked like baseballs. We also changed out the standard closet in his room so it would have display shelves but still offer storage options. I feel like the room is perfect for our little guy but still keeps with the overall feel of our house.

Hudson’s Modern Striped Nursery

Mom and nursery designer, Christina Boschetti of Widell Designs, styled a rockstar modern nursery for her baby boy Hudson Sawyer. She incorporated a mix of modern items with a hint of vintage, creating the perfect nursery for the cutest little rockstar. The castle side table that you will see featured is a vintage toy shop display that was handed down to her son by her brother-in-law. They purchased it from the toy shop 25+ years ago and it is a statement piece displaying adorable toy animals.

Adam’s Nautical Nursery

We wanted a special room dedicated for our first Baby. We decided to have a room with nautical design inspiration because here were we live in North Germany at Baltic Sea in a harbor city. Our baby will grow up surrounded by nautical and sailing influences and this was the best argument for us to choose this theme.Life quality here is strongly benefiting by the beaches, the ocean and the maritime  climate. We live in a small apartment and for the birth of our baby family and friends came to visit, thats why we decided to add a very small guest corner.  

Twins- Edward and Ivy’s Aqua Gray and Lime Nursery

This aqua and gray striped nursery with white furniture and vintage daybed is all set up for twins. Colorful throw pillows and bedding in turquoise, lime, white, and a little  pink (for Ivy), some original artwork, a mini-chandelier, and nature inspired mobile bring this nursery to life. This turned into a group project where different members of our family were able to use their special talents whether it was carpentry, painting, sewing , or art and design.
