    A classic nursery that combines both nautical & travel inspired elements.  Not wanting anything too theme specific, we incorporated coastal & travel components into one cohesive nursery using muted shades of blue and gray, natural wood tones, & mixed metals.

        Thank you!

        Hi Julianne – my husband & I actually made the Arabic print canvas. My husband wrote out the script for me on paper, and then I traced it onto a canvas & filled it in with grey paint. :)

        Thanks Kelli! We made the shelves using reclaimed barn wood & IKEA brackets. I did write a blog post on the process & you can read more about how we made them here: http://duoventures.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-nursery-diy-reclaimed-barnwood.html#.WBEjf-ArI2w

        Unfortunately, we purchased the light several years ago & so I have no information on it. The only thing I remember is that we purchased it from either Home Depot or Lowe’s. I’m sorry I don’t have any more info on it for ya!

        Hi Caroline – the glider is from Walmart. It’s called the Newco International Grand Bella Velvet Glider. We got ours in the ‘beige’ color. :)

        Hi Jessie – the brackets are from IKEA. They are the EKBY BJARNUM brackets (ours are the 7.5″ brackets). :)

        Hi Elissa – the dresser is the HEMNES dresser from IKEA. There is also a link to it under ‘sources’ on the right side of the page :)

        did you do the board & batten walls yourself or hire someone to do this? and if you did them how complicated was it?
        Thank you!

        Hi Laura – my dad & I installed the board & batten wall ourselves. It wasn’t too complicated actually! I have a blog post on the process if you’d like to see exactly how we did it:

        Hi! You did a great job! Can you share how you made the star mirror above the crib? Looks so nice!

        Hi Teja – I found the rope star sunburst at Home Goods I believe. Then I just bought an inexpensive round craft mirror from Hobby Lobby and hot glued it to the back of the sunburst. That was it! Hope that helps! :)

        Hi, can I ask where the ceiling light is from? Thanks!

      21. Melissa

        March 8, 2018

        Hey Jessica – the ceiling light was a clearance find from Home Depot or Lowe’s…I can’t remember exactly it was so long go. I believe the metal mount was a bronze color & I spray painted it white. Hope that helps a little :)
