Stripes

Modern blue and gray nursery with DIY accents

This nautical nursery is for our son due in early July. Our house is coastal inspired and I wanted to keep the trend with his nursery.

After moving into our new home, it was time to put together the perfect room for my little ladies.

We live in a large formal Victorian in New England. The room was previously the guest room, and had just been re-decorated 2 years before Oliver’s arrival. While lovely, the drab green walls weren’t very fun so we painted the thick aqua stripes on one wall to cheery it up. We wanted the room to be fun and whimsical, but also work with the character of the house.

We turned our first floor “formal living room” into a fun entertainment room for our family of three.

We wanted a nursery that could work for either gender in case our next child is a girl. My favorite color is yellow, so we painted unique stripes around the room. The inspiration for the stripes is an actual paint chip. We chose a gradient from dark on the bottom to light near the ceiling with small white stripes between. I think it makes the room feel larger and taller.
Since the the walls are so bright and modern, we wanted the rest of the room to feel classic and traditional in contrast. Most of pur accents are whites and neutrals to balance the bright walls.

Hugo is a vibrant and curious 4-year-old with a strong point of view on what he likes. We set out to create a fun and unique room for him in our new home, letting him help with the design process in every step. We wanted him to feel creative and comfortable in the new house and by letting him have control over his own space, we knew he’d be right at home.

Previously, the house was decorated in a pretty simple style so when we bought over the place, we decided our elder child should have her own room and space.
I went looking around finding things are relatively expensive over here and there are not much hardware stores for me to get what I really need. So most of the stuffs are either via ikea (the reading corner books display, shelves and standing lamp), repainting / upholestry some of our current furnitures or pottery barn kids (sales section).
Wallpapers are not really practical over at this country hence instead of using those. So the walls are actually painted into pink and white stripes to lengthen the low ceiling.

Stripes, pom poms and a simple wood monogram work together to create the perfect space for my one year old.

When my family moved to a new home last summer, I took the opportunity to evolve what had been “Quinlan’s Yellow Submarine Nursery” (also on Project Nursery) into a room that would grow with my son as far into childhood as possible. I incorporated many of the decorative items, most furniture, as well as the overall color scheme from his original nursery, but toned down the wall color to gray and added a black and white “base” to anchor the multi-colored accents.

Taylor’s mom decided to surprise her for her 11th birthday with a sophisticated new space featuring her favorite color.

This year I set up a little Thanksgiving feast, to help get my toddler in the spirit of thankfulness. I displayed store bought treats, created Pilgrim & Indian printables, and set up a cider stand. Turkey sandwiches, and corn coblettes were on the menu. The no-cost tee pee that I constructed was a hit, and a fun source of entertainment & imagination!
