Description
A comfortable, happy nursery for our first child!
Design Inspiration
I didn't want a traditional boy's nursery with the walls being blue and the bedding being the main focal point. I knew I wanted the walls a good neutral because there were too many other pops of colors I wanted to add! I first found the prints above the crib and went from there! I opted for non-matching furniture - including the teal dresser! (A $20 flea market find!!) The other items around the room were collected throughout the pregnancy over time. It's filled with some flea market finds, a handful of items from Etsy, and some random finds for our sweet baby boy. I couldn't be happier with the outcome!
Decorating Style
I like more modern things, and always prefer it to feel comfortable. I feel like that was achieved in the nursery. It's not too fussy, and has all the necessities - while looking great! This room will easily transition with him as he gets older, which is a plus!

Advice
This room is filled with lots of things that I fell in love with that came together to create the perfect space! Because of that, I am so pleased with the outcome and love going in there each day! Find items you love -it doesn't all have to be matchy-matchy!

@ Veronica: I know that you can find the elephant hamper on the internet, I purchased one for my daughters nursery last year.
