Here is the nursery my husband and I created for our son Wesley who is now almost one year old! We painstakingly created almost every detail in his modern colorful room. I should mention that his room is tiny! You can see more details on my blog: http://whatjeffdid.blogspot.com/2012/06/wesleys-nursery.html
Once I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted a nautical nursery. When I found out I was having a girl I knew it would be a bit challenging since most nautical stuff is navy and red. Then my sister made me a quilt for my baby shower that used fabric from fabric designer Tula Pink that was coral, aqua and green. I was obsessed and used that as my inspiration.
A friend of mine just finished this mural for our owl themed nursery! We are so excited to have it all done and ready for our little girl! It turned out great!
This is our first baby’s room. We don’t know the sex so it had to be gender neutral, but I didn’t want to use traditional “gender neutral” colours. I also wanted it to be fun and not too “baby”, while including items from my and my husband’s childhoods.
We took a guest room and converted it to a nursery for our upcoming baby girl.
When my husband & I learned we were having a son, I knew I wanted to think outside the box of the ordinary pastel blue baby boy nursery. I wanted to put just as much effort into creating a special & memorable nursery for a son just as I would have a daughter. I had the mindset a boy’s nursery could be just as fun and vibrant as a baby girl’s nursery so with 20 weeks of morning sickness, I had much time to search for the perfect bedding on the internet. With the colors of lime green and turquoise already in mind- when I found the bedding at modpeapod.com, the nursery project took off from there.
I knew I didn’t want a blue room for my son because I am tired or stereotyping. And trust me, if I had a girl, it would still be green and white with pops of other colors, never pink & purple. We have very high ceilings (12′) but the room is rather small, so we went with white walls and used bright colors on accessories, such as curtains, floor mat, table, wall decals etc.

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.
We wanted Kiara’s nursery to be a quiet retreat from our hectic city lives. We made use of the paint colors we already use in rest of our home for the mural and then focused on artwork to bring life to our little one’s space.

Charlene and Chris began fixing up the nursery before their first son Matteo was born. They painted the walls a light shade of gray, refinished the original hardwood floors, and purchased the basic furniture as well as a glider and ottoman. They also brought in their old full-sized bed for Grandma who stays occasionally to help with the baby. But after their baby was born, the room remained half finished with no theme, bare walls, and baby stuff piled in the corners and on top of furniture. Eight months later I was brought on to reorganize and bring much-needed style to the room they first envisioned for their nursery.
Not sure who is more excited about this room being finished, me or my daughter. Lots of DIY and re-working what I currently had made this entire new room happen for only $350! We’re both pretty please with how it turned out :)
Ok, so this nursery probably won’t be gracing the covers of any baby magazines, but I was really happy with how it turned out. I wanted to create a bright and cheerful, but gender neutral nursery for our third baby, and without spending a lot. I was motivated to post this to show that with some creativity and resourcefulness, you can create a nice looking, cohesive nursery without spending a fortune. My total cost – including furniture, bedding and decor – less that $250!!
I wanted to design a nursery that wasn’t too cutesy so that it would grow with Adelaide through the years. I also wanted it to be comfortable and soothing.
This is the nursery we put together for our first child, a girl, expected any day now.

We live in a small, old home. Luckily my husband is in the construction business and he is extremely handy! We completely gutted the room! My husband put wood on walls and ceiling, made the trim, he did a wash paint finish on the walls, painted the ceiling, layed laminate wood flooring, built-ins in closet, and built-in shelf!!! I think he did an amazing job!! We LOVE this room!!
