A Gentleman’s (Wild) Kingdom

Description

After designing my daughter's nursery, I knew I wanted to create an equally fun and eclectic space for our son. Like before, this was a labor of love...From picking out the design elements to installing a stone wall! It's a mix of DIY and store bought. A little kingdom for our little prince :)

Design Inspiration

The theme in my head was all over the place, but I definitely had a vision. It included exploration, animals, study, royalty, travel, and plenty of whimsy. With a masculine touch. Make sense?

Decorating Style

Colorful, pattern, texture, lots of little details!

Advice

The airstone wall is a PROJECT, so just be ready to tackle it. It's easy, but time consuming.

If you don't like matchy-match crib bedding, create your own!I bought different kinds of sheets, pillows, a throw, and made the crib skirt.

Don't be afraid to mix pattern, colors, textures. Experiment even if it seems crazy! Be bold.

Add personal touches - family memorabilia, photos from travel, etc. This will make it even more special.
