Description
We wanted a girly nursery, for our daughter Bexley; just not pinks and purples!
I'm not a fan of matchy-matchy, so we just pulled fabrics and colors together that we loved and her nursery "theme" was complete!

Lots of ideas from blogs and pinterest!

Advice
Pull items in a nursery that you like! Then it will all start coming together. Don't paint the walls a color that is too in your face. There is really no gray anywhere else in the nursery- but we think it provides a great neutral to her room.
Hi I just want you to know that I saved your pin a long time ago and My husband and I were picking baby girls names and I said this and a couple days later he said that he really likes the name Bexley and so we decided to name our baby girl but ours is spelt different because of the way we spelt our first daughter Hailee so we went with Bexlee
Hi, I LOVE Bexley’s room. Can you please tell me what brand and color paint that is? Thanks. And I love the name Bexley.
im not organized at all and I was wondering what do all of your tags say I see some are baby blankets I’m trying to get organized before my baby gets here please help
where did you get the pink storage cubes? I really love them!
Please do tell where you got the pink bins in the closet from!
Oops…..Love your site, not lot your site :)
Bexley’s Mom……Im Bexley’s Mom too!!! My Bexley is 25 yrs old. I cant believe there is another little Bexley! How wonderful!! I got the name Bexley from a beautiful town outside of Columbus, Ohio. Lot your site. :)
How can I buy these letters.
Where did you get the bins in the closet from?
I mean, I agree it’s a stupid name, not with the whiny chick.
What a ridiculous name
I agree!
My 6 year old sons name is Bexley, too!! We lived in London a few years before kids. I worked in the borough of Bexley! I was so surprised to see this! I love the nursery by the way.
Love the wooden letters too! Where did you find them?
Where did you find those amazing letters! I love the design, and I think Bexley is a great name. Very unique!!
Wow! It’s sad to know that there’s people out there that just feel like they need to be so negative and say hateful comments out loud instead of just thinking them to themselves. I didn’t need to know you thought my daughters name was stupid nor was it needed. This website is for positive words not negative.
Bexley?! Such a stupid name!
That is so weird you named you daughter Bexley! My 21 month old is named Bexley Justice. How did you find the name? I have never heard it anywhere else so I’m so in shock!
What paint color did you use for the walls? I love,love, love it!
Jessica,
They have a really cute round rug, smiliar to this at JCP for around $60 right now!
Catelyn,
I did! I got made them on the computer in powerpoint, printed them out, cut them to size, and “self” laminated them with tags I purchased at Office Max.

Did you make the super cute labels for the pink bins in the closet? If so, what did you use?
Jessica,
I found the rug on ebay for around $80, I think. The room is around 11×12 and the rug is 4′ round.
Where did you get the rug?
Ooops just saw your other post! Can I please please have your friend’s email address so I can beg him/her to make me some???? ❤
Bexley’s mom, what about the letters??!! :)
Katie Gonzalez,
Her name came about while we weren’t even trying to get pregnant. We drove by an apartment complex named Bexley about once or twice a week and loved the name of it. Then when we started trying and eventually ended up pregnant, we decided Bexley was going to be her name. It was a nice compromise name between my husband (who wanted traditional) and myself (who wanted something a little off beat!)
Ashley,
Thank you! The letters are wood (baltic birch). I had them cut by a friend using the font Chanel (a font found on dafont.com). They are either 16 or 20″ high- I can’t remember. I painted them Lisa Pink by Delta and hung with with command adhensive.
I could understand your not wanting pink and purple. I really do not get it why 99.9% of parents think that these are the only colors for girls. I like the way you pulled everything together here. Congratulations this is a great looking room.
I am wondering how you came up with her name? It is so unique, please share the story!!! :-)
Obsessed with the letters! Please do share where you found them!
I think that having no themes is a great way to exercise your creativity and it certainly works in this room. I love it!
I would love to know where you purchased the letters as well. Love them :)
Did you make the letters or did you purchase them? They are SUPER cute!!
