Modern Travel-Inspired Nursery

My husband and I both love to travel. In fact, we met each other on a trip to Paris. So even though most of my pregnancy was during a global pandemic that halted all our trips, our greatest wish for our son is that he know the value of traveling to experience new cultures, meet new people, and gain new perspectives. The nursery we created for his arrival is inspired by that idea.
The recliner/rocker is my favorite spot to sit with our newborn baby boy, telling him stories and singing our favorite songs. I also love the huge dresser that stores absolutely everything — we don’t even have a closet in this room! We framed the vintage postcards of places we’ve been together that were used as table numbers at our wedding.

Rustic Vintage DIY Boy Nursery

A boy’s nursery filled from floor to ceiling with vintage objects, DIY projects and a rustic gallery wall. We tried to balance what we love as adults with what will engage our son’s imagination and his feelings of belonging.
Whilst it is currently a nursery, it can easily be transformed into a toddler room by switching out the crib for a bed. One of these days I will be able to get rid of the feeding chair, but for now we still use it every morning.

Nash’s Vintage Navy Nursery

I wanted to create a nursery that combined all of the elements I love with unique personal touches. I knew there would be my two favorite prints-chevron and greek key.  My statement piece was the huge 1878 reproduction map of Annapolis, MD, as well as the Naval Academy football programs from the 1920s-1970s.  From there I had a blast finding “vintage” items for storage and decor.
