I knew that I wanted a gray nursery regardless of the sex of our baby. When we found out that it was a boy, I knew I also wanted to incorporate orange because my husband loves that color. I tried to make as many things as I could myself. Overall, I wanted the nursery to be soothing yet with pops of color. It is a mix of mainly new, some old, and a lot of handmade things.

My husband and I are so excited to welcome our first baby, a son, in a few days. I am a teacher, and I love anything to do with photography, scrapbooking, crafting, and decorating!

I love the room so beatiful and peaceful.

I love it. Please show more :)

The end result is really warm and cozy. It’s the kind of room that makes me feel like curling up under the sheets or cuddling to somebody.

It’s a room that’s so full of love and warmth and love. That bird mobile is really really pretty. And oh, I think your profile or account photo is really cute!

I love your nursery and the photo of you in the mirror is so great! This post is making me want to be pregnant again!

Vanwerta, you should be designing for a living. Besides the room turning out great, I think you did a great job of melding both you and you’re husband’s tastes.
My wife and I have been in a rut for the past ten years because we’re in the same budget-challenged boat (except I’m the one that likes recycled / repurposed stuff and she prefers new).
Any chance you’d be able to help us??

Love this nursery! Everything flows well together. Where did you get these curtains at? I have been trying to find some like it with no luck! Congrats on your new addition!! :)
Marissa

Nicole
I love the sheet fabric! Where did it come from?
Meika
Would love to know where you got the canvas with the Jeremiah 1:5 scripture!
vanwerta
Thank you for all your responses! We were busy having Liam Isaac. Both of us are doing well, and he is loving his new room!

Meika,
I made the Jeremiah 1:5 print using Photoshop. I saw similar ones on Etsy, but figured I could make my own to save money. I’ve seen people use stencils to get a similar effect if you didn’t have access to a program.

Cori,
The orange lamp was bought at Home Goods for $39. Sorry I forgot that one! I like it because it has the linen shade. You just have to check Home Goods frequently because the merchandise changes so fast.

Whitney,
For the curtains, I bought the fabric at Joann’s. It is a Waverly print and is actually indoor/outdoor material. I don’t have a sewing machine and limited ability, so I used the iron-on no sew adhesive to hem them. They are hanging by the clips, so I didn’t make a rod pocket. The new-sew stuff made it easy, just getting them to hang equally was the trickest part.

Love the room!! What is the name of the color you choose for the walls?

Nicole,
I believe the fabric is called Central Park. There are a few different color options for the Central Park fabric. Mine is the white option. I searched central park crib sheets on etsy. I was also able to locate some of the fabric thru Amazon for art projects.

Robin,
It is Valspar “Gull” from Lowes. Thanks!

I love the chair. Where did you buy it?
Summer
I love the floor lamp! Will you share where you found it? Thanks!
vanwerta
S,
The chair was bought at a local Atlanta baby store, KooKooBears. I believe it is a Little Castle design. I was able to choose the fabrics.
vanwerta
Summer,
The lamp was a random deal. I got it a couple of years ago at Target. I got it on clearance.
vanwerta
vanwerta,
I’m sorry, I just found the tag that came with my chair and it is one of the Storytime series (not Little Castle). I apologize for the mistake!
Laura
Love the room! especially the fabric that you use to make the birds for the mobile. Did you order the fabric samples online or from a local store?
Thanks!
Lauren Gendelman
Love your nursery, it’s absolutely beautiful. And congrats on your new addition. We are expecting on your second baby and will be decorating both a new nursery and a big girl girl room. I plan to do grey and white stripes on one wall of the big girl room. Do you remember what color white you used for the white stripes?? Im just not sure what to go with. thanks so much. Lauren
