Sea Theme

Sea themed Nursery for my baby boy

Daniel’s nautical nursery by Bellini.

I fell in love with this modern under the sea crib bedding before I even knew if I was going to have a boy or a girl. Good thing it could go either way. I was on a very tight budget with this room so I made a lot of what is in the room or I bought something that was very inexpensive and altered it to make it look like more than it was. My only item that I was sad I couldn’t get was the Eames molded plastic rocker. That would have made this room perfect!

Our nautical nursery is a tribute to life on the high seas for a very lucky little boy! Since this was a small room, we started with the addition of a built-in shelving unit and window bench seat that opens up for additional storage. Next we added a high cream colored wainscoting to provide a beach-home feel to the room. We found this royal blue convertible crib discounted at a local furniture store and thought it would be perfect for a nautical themed nursery. I found this cute nautical ceiling light fixture online for only $40 and spray-painted it red to coordinate with the custom painted Sherri Blum Nautical Wall Hanging. I found the “Row Row Row Your Boat” wooden letters for only $2 each at a local discount craft store and painted them white and hung them randomly across the wall to add a touch of whimsy to the nursery. We finished up with custom bedding, window treatments, bench cushions, and rug to tie this nautical nursery neatly together for a custom look without breaking the bank.
