I really like the wood panel statement walls and thought it would be so cool to paint the California flag on for my son’s nursery. My husband came up with the idea of making the whole wall the flag, which I love! I enjoyed coming up with bear related decor, such as the stuffed bears, rocking bear, and bear pillow. The California print is a great pop of red in the room, along with the large red metal star. I made the California themed mobile, bear art print and star crib skirt. I had so much fun collecting special little things to make my son’s nursery special and personal. Plus, we were intentional about making this a space he can grow into and think we will all enjoy it for many years to come.
 

I fell in love with the idea of a mountain mural for my second son’s nursery and the overall concept grew from there. We also felt like it was a perfect compliment to his big brother’s “California” room. It was important for us to chose something that will stand the test of time from nursery to kid’s room. I especially love the shades of blue we used (after careful consideration) and how inviting the colors make the room. We measured out a grid on the wall to get the mountains outlined and then used a projector for the tree silhouettes. I was lucky enough to find several items used, including the crib and large dresser. I made the mobile using wooden triangles, fishing line and a wooden round. I also made two of the art prints and added “explore” to the small globe. Putting the nursery together was such a fun and unique experience, slowly collecting pieces that fit and watching the room take shape, imagining the little life that would soon come home to this space!
