Kellan’s Gray and Lime Green Elephant Nursery

This is the first nursery designed and created by Nurseries By Jay and is for our first child Kellan who is due in October.  We loved the idea of something less traditional using gray and lime green and using elephants as a theme.  The toy box, growth chart, both wall paintings, and shelves were handmade and painted by Jay.  The elephant blowing bubbles wall painting has a built in light for a night light.  We love the room from his alphabet wall with his name, to his toy box.

Liv’s Lounge

Liv’s Lounge is a whimsy mix of modern and shabby chic. I am all about color, different textures & patterns and unique design. I really wanted her room to be something that will grow with her. I don’t care for baby-ish themes so I just started buying pieces that struck my fancy. Luckily, by accident, everything came together perfectly! I couldn’t be more pleased with the final product!

Graeme’s “Whooo Gives a Hoot” Tree-themed Nursery

I designed this nursery for our first-born son, who arrived April 9, 2012. I chose to use Grey as a neutral backdrop with hits of turquoise, lime green and dark blue. The hard furnishings are not the ubiquitous “ebony” colour, so popular these days; instead I chose to reuse my own birch childhood furniture, and incorporate the birch colour in the rest of the room in the shelves and lighting fixtures. The room is quite small (10′ x 10′), so instead of overwhelming it with too much of the birch, I added elements of white in the crib, glider and shelf brackets. I was aiming for a relaxed version of Mid-Century, 1960’s-Era “modern” style (though the birch furniture is in fact from the 1970’s…).Photographs courtesy of Mike Day: “The Art of Wee Ones”, Toronto, ON, Canada (http://www.theartofweeones.com/aowo/home.php)

Bright Blue & Lime Green Boys Nursery with Custom Initial Rug

One of our customers shared a photo with us of their baby boy’s nursery. We had the honor of creating the custom initial inlay rug for the room. All of our rugs are custom made in the USA. The initial in hand inlaid, not printed or painted. Customers get to choose the shape, size, colors, and options for their rug. Our motto is:It’s your rug…your way!

Black, White, and Very Bright.

This nursery was designed for our son Owen. I am very opposed to spending a ton of money on a baby’s room, however, I’m also very opposed to boring nurseries as well. I call it “nursery in a bag” look. I hate the matchy matchy themed rooms you can get at any baby store. Therefore, we met in the middle and were able to come up with a very fun, bright, and budget friendly nursery. 

A Little Bit of it All

I am obsessed with shabby chic so I really wanted to base this room off of that. Then one day while I was looking at rooms on here I came acrossed one that had this very same map in their nursery and I fell in love with it! I asked her where she had got it and so very kindly told me! My husband teaches social studies so we thought this would be really fun to have in his room. The room is very small so I had to be carefull with such a large map not to go over board with any other print. I love pastel greens and blues and also taupe. I think they brought the room all together perfect and we couldnt be more happy with the way it turned out.
