Gray & Navy Nautical Nursery

Our intention with the design of our first child’s nursery was to create a room that could grow with him.  We didn’t want it to be too ‘baby’.
Both my husband and I have grown up on the water and enjoy all the activities that go along with that lifestyle.  We wanted to reflect our love of offshore fishing and the nautical lifestyle.  Unfortunately, the majority of nautical themed nursery items are sailboat related.  Although we appreciate the beauty of sailboats, our families have never been into sailing as a hobby.  Creating a space that reflected our boating and beach lifestyle, required a little more creativity on my part.

Grey and Tangerine Modern {Woodland Inspired} Nursery

My husband and I both love things with a modern look and a tiny twist of vintage. When I was pregnant, we had no idea what we wanted to do for the nursery, the only thing we knew for sure was that we didn’t want to go the “traditional baby blue” route. We knew we both loved grey as a neutral and then we ended up adding a few pops of tangerine for fun!

Henry’s {not so} Nautical Nursery

I love design and home decorating and when I found out I was pregnant, besides being over the moon with excitement for having a baby, I was so excited that I could design a nursery. I wanted to start right away, but I’m the queen of indecision so I waited until we knew the sex so it would remove 50% of the options. When 20 weeks came around and we found out it was a boy, it was full steam ahead. The easiest decision was the wall color – a light gray, since we’re renting and wanted to keep it neutral in hopes of not having to repaint. After lots of research we made the big purchases of the crib, dresser, glider and rug, and I went to work on making all the finishing touches, from the crib bedding (skirt, sheets and bumpers) to the pillows, artwork, pennant banners and blankets.
