Description
We didn't want a theme so that he could easily grow into his room. We love the mix of animals, airplanes, and art work.
Design Inspiration
Really I just based my initial design off of the colors (Yellow, Gray, and White)....from there we started to incorporate red, blue, and green. It was fun to just add cool art or stuffed animals that we thought he might enjoy looking at as he grows.

Favorite Items
The glider is THE most comfortable chair EVER!!! But besides that....I just love every little thing in this room. I'm looking forward to spending so much time in here once this little guy makes his appearance. :)
Advice
Collect little things that mean something to you or that catch your eye! We avoided big box stores and matching sets of anything so we could achieve a collected, eclectic look.
[…] The mix of colors and circular design of the Picture Me personalized growth chart works well with all of the various wheels used the gallery wall in this vintage transportation themed nursery. (Project Nursery) […]
Where did you get the small giraffe on the crib? Do you remember?
What color did you paint the walls.
Lmphotos,
Thanks so much! That will match perfectly! You have ended my search- thank you thank you thank you!! And yes, as my Dr father-in-law always says, Babies don’t read books…they’ll come in their own sweet time and do all those accomplishments when they do them. :)
This is such a great nursery! You’ve already thought of everything you’ll need, and it’s all within easy reach. The perfect place to spend time and the colors are so relaxing! Well done!
Catherine,
Hi!! Thank you!! We just put a sheet of white paper against it so we could give you an accurate answer…. We would say that it is slightly off-white. Not cream… but not bright white. Hope that helps!! We love the crib….I like the lines of it because it doesn’t have the typical curves that you find on so many cribs. Plus this one is convertible which we hope will grow well with him.
And thank you!! He still hasn’t made his appearance yet but we know it’s just a matter of time! :)
I love it all! Such a happy room- great job! The crib, it looks to be an off-white color? I’m on the hunt for a crib that will match a PBK changing table I have and this one has the beadboard, but still works for a boy… fill me in, is it white white or slightly creamy?
Good luck with your delivery!
jennarobbins,
Thank you!!! We are so in love with that pedal car!! ;) And no ma’am…. he was due yesterday and he’s still cozy inside my belly today! Guess he’s telling me he’ll be here when he’s ready! ;)
LarzyB,
Thank you so much!!! It just seemed like the perfect place right by the glider….. at least until he can use the car! ;)
Such an awesome nursery! Love love your chevron bedding and you have overall such a great eye! The gallery wall is too cool and the little red pedal car makes my heart melt. I just found one at Kohls!! We will be getting re-stationed in December so if Nash ends up with a bigger space wherever we move to then Im gonna have to get him one too! oh and I have to ask….was Ariston on time?? I see he is due now! Congrats!
I LOVE how you put your bebe’s books in the pedal car!! Very cute nursery!
