Elephant

Baby Boy Nursery

I started off Sara’s playroom after she turned 1. As she got her footings strong on the ground she got very mobile and active. I wanted to create a safe place for her to explore and have plenty of space to roam around..She loves it there. It keeps her mind and tiny hands occupied for a good couple of hours..New toys keep adding up but both of us can’t part with her old ones, so we are glad we have plenty of space to store all her treasures..It’s a space for her and i don’t mind being there myself for countless hours..Keeping it fun and functional was my priority.

Sloane’s nursery is girly, but still sophisticated enough to blend with the rest of our home. It’s a really large room, so we wanted it to double as a guest room and be able to repurpose some of the items down the road. We’re also in a rental apartment, so could only really change the wall color.

I designed this nursery before my daughter was born, so it had to be gender neutral. I wanted it to be clean and modern, and filled with things that are meaningful, such as the handmade shelves and mobile, special items from my childhood, and a little bit of Star Wars.

Aurora’s Tiffany Blue Handmade Room

Small in size. Big on elephants. Bennett’s room is only 10 feet by 9 feet. We struggled to find furniture that would fit without sacrificing comfort. The walls are painted a soft robin’s egg blue. Accent colours are grey, slate, and white. The room features several different sizes, styles, and textures of elephants.

Most of the items in this room were homemade and furniture was used from around the house or purchased used and repurposed.

Faisal’s modern safari nursery revolved around the amazon stone chevron wall. The other items in the nursery don’t compete with the bold pattern, but compliment it in a clean, simple way. I had to absolutely love each item in order for it to find a home in Faisal’s nursery!

This chic and sophisticated nursery was created for Mac.  His parents wanted to do a safari themed nursery for him, but keep it sophisticated so it could grow with him and flow with the rest of their house.

Grey and yellow nursery, cozy and inviting.  Elephants started to become a little bit of a theme after I found grey and yellow elephant artwork.

I started compiling and researching very early, way before we knew the gender. Once I knew how I wanted to decorate his nursery, everything else came together. I purchased most of the supplies very early and my friend + business partner and I created all of the printables you see. I got inspiration ideas from Project Nursery, Etsy, and HWTM. 

I wanted the nursery to be bright and cheery without going so cliche baby. It’s a mix of reworked pieces we already had (it’s amazing what a coat of paint and a new fabric can do) and 9 months to let my ideas come together and finding the perfect additions! 

We wanted to create a simple nursery that was a mix of modern and  traditional elements. We used some flea market finds,  a few DIY elements and some elbow grease !

The Blake Family wanted a fun and inviting baby room! Custom mural by artist, Pamela Townsend; consisting of a Monkey, Giraffe, Lion, Elephant surround the walls with playful smiles. A banana tree is prefect to sit under with a good night time book to read baby Michael to sleep. The wall letters were handmade with scrapbook paper and even showcases Micheal’s hand print and footprint. Zebra rug, valance and crib skirt were all purchased at Target.

This is the nursery that we created for our little guy. It is a mixture of old items from my daughter’s nursery and new. 

A bright nursery with lots of interesting artwork that mainly focuses on giraffes and elephants.**We were keeping Harrison’s name a secret. So, when I took these pictures I didn’t have the button letter H canvas up by the changing table. Instead, I put a blank canvas up to hold it’s place. That’s why there is a blank canvas there- the H canvas is now there.**

We created a gender neutral nursery for our little one that was due at the end of May. I love the grey and yellow combination and decided last minute to add some pops of teal. I’m so happy I did.
 
We did not know what we were having but at the end of May we welcomed our beautiful baby girl. I updated the photos to add a photo of what the room looks like now with our little girls picture above the crib. We put her in an elephant hat so she would match the room.

Planning a room for a boy and a girl can be a challenge.  Finding the color scheme of aqua, grey, white, with touches of pink allowed for the room to be balanced.  

A wonderful sophisticated family with modern tastes were looking to update their daughter’s nursery into something more suitable for the first boy in the family.
