Description
Decorating Carter's nursery was a very exciting time for me. I love to decorate and this project was so dear to my heart. I wanted his nursery to be a place that could transition very easily. I didn't want anything overly trendy or "babyish". Yet, I wanted it to be a room that he would love as much as I do. It does have some newer trendier things but I also incorporated some refurbished and traditional items.
Design Inspiration
There were several things that inspired me but the first thing that I fell in love with was his bedding. I loved that it was trendy but classic at the same time. I also found a picture of the board and batten on pinterest and knew that it would add the touch that I really wanted. It made the room just really come together.
Decorating Style
I would have to say that my style really varies depending on the room. I like rooms that will be in style for years to come. I don't like overly trendy things. So, I guess I am more traditional with an eclectic twist.
Project Details
Monogram- Made by my sister
Table- Repurposed from guest bedroom
Favorite Items
I love the Monogram that my sister made. I also love the dresser and bedding. Everything just came together so perfectly. I also think my husband did a great job painting the stripes on the wall for me.
Advice
I would say allow yourself the time to find what you are really searching for and don't be afraid to experiment

Are the pictures from etsy in 8×10 matted frames or 11×14 with an 8×10 matte?
Where did you get the big stuffed elephant from?
I would love to know how your sister made the monogram or where i can get one just like that just different names of course?
looks great, can you tell me who you ordered your name decal from?
Which company did you use for the monogram name
On the wall?
I absolutely love this! Can I ask what Etsy shop you got the decal from and also do you know those paint colors/store you got the paint. I want my nursery wall to look exactly like this!;). It’s so perfect!
Bump. Who from etsy did you get it from. We love this.
I saw that you mentioned the stripes are 11″ apart, is that also how wide the stripe is?
Wow! This is from far the most beautiful nursery I’ve ever seen ! I’m wishing to have a little baby boy, and I will most likely make his bedroom very similar to your Carter Michael’s one :)
I love this room setup! I was wondering if the changing table storage unit is Kallax from Ikea? I really want that type of changing table/storage! Thanks ahead :)
What size is that monogram & do u have a person you suggest for it?
Hi can you tell me where curtains are from??
I am starting to decorate my nursery for my firstt child which is a boy. Love love this room. How can I get a monogram like yours and where did you get stuffed elephant. I live in Cincinnati. Thank you Darlene
Darlene,
My sister made the monogram. However, you can purchase them on etsy too. I actually found the elephant at Marshall’s.
Hello,
What was the distance you used for the bottom where the white wood is? What etsy shop did you use for the frames?
Thanks a bunch
I really love the look of this room. I read that your stripes were 11 inches. How tall were your walls? Also what colors did you use for the decal?
Love it!!! Where did you get the bedding?
@Kristen I purchased the bedding from Carousel Designs. I actually am selling the bumper that if you are interested in purchasing it. Sadly, my little guy has outgrown his crib and we are are on baby #2.
@shannon- My walls were 8 feet high and the monogram is black and white. My sister made the monogram for me.
Denise, I’m so sorry but I don’t remember the distance and we have since sold the house or I would measure for you. I purchased the large frames from Ikea and the smaller ones from Target.
Stephanie,
I just saw your question. The curtains were made for me by someone on etsy. I can’t find the contact now though.
And the names how did you make it or other from please
How did you make the names or where did you order frim
What size are the 2 black n white printed photos ? And what size frames are they in?!
What size are the photos of you and your husband?
@Carla- I can’t remember the photo size. The frames are the large ones from Ikea and we had to size the print to them.
