Blue and Orange Nursery for Baby Boy

Description

This is a nursery for baby boy that is due to be here soon!  I have always loved decorating, but this has been a whole new level of fun. I loved every moment of decorating this sweet nursery for him. 

Design Inspiration

I was inspired by nautical colors, but not a true nautical theme.  We went with a blue/orange theme and really built around that.  I wanted it to be bold and colorful. 

Decorating Style

My decorating style is definitely colorful, clean lines, and bold. 

Project Details

Crib- Newport Cottages

Bedding- Doodlefish

DIY Projects:

Favorite Items

I really loved our crib, it was the starting point for the whole room.  I also love the pillow in the chair, it turned out better than I had planned it. 

Advice

My advice would be to not settle when looking for items for your room.  If you cannot find the right item, make it  or alter it yourself!  Do not be afraid to alter/change items that aren't the right color or shape.  Many of the items I had were the wrong colors (shelf, dresser, anchor light switch color, nautical hooks on back of door, lamp) and I just painted them.  Just don't settle :)

OMG, I saw your home for sale on the internet recently and then found this pic on Pinterest and instantly recognized it. I remember wanting to look at your home because of this room {we do blue and orange in our son's room} and it would have been nice to keep the orange paint! LOL. www.styleoyster.blogspot.com
