I started designing the nursery for my baby boy at around 24 weeks and wanted to center it on a woodland bear-type theme with turquoise and mint colors. I ended up incorporating all kinds of bears into the nursery and made the color story pretty cohesive around blues/blacks/greys. I took a lot of inspiration from modern pinterest but also wanted to put my own spin on it – I hand made and crafted a lot of the pieces in the room, including the banners hanging around the walls, the shelves, and the painting and customization of some of the different accent pieces.

I got the main inspiration for the theme actually from a rug I found on wayfair.com for children and that inspired my entire color story and bear theme! I looked on a variety of different websites – for my big furniture pieces I looked on wayfair and pottery barn kids and for most of the wall decor and accent pieces I turned to Etsy. I would highly recommend Etsy for anyone who is looking for nursery accent/decor pieces since there is SO much variety and so many cute, hand crafted things that you can’t find anywhere else. My favorite accent pieces in the room (the two houses) were hand crafted and painted by a vendor who builds these mini shelf houses and it couldn’t be more perfect with my theme and the cute, hip vibe.
