Shop Suggestions
To create a relaxing and welcoming space for our little one that reflected a life of traveling and discovery (those from the past and those to come). I wanted to incorporate objects from around the world as well as books from my childhood (in Spanish) and accents from Brussels (my husband’s home town). As we often have family/friends visiting from overseas it was a must to have a daybed! We love the one we found and the six large storage baskets underneath will surely come handy for toys, linens and diapers.

I LOVE this modern, sophisticated baby boy’s nursery!! The decor is clean yet warm and tranquil. I love how much thought and attention went into each detail- all the meaning and love behind the wallpaper, Spanish and Belgium books, elephants, decor, etc. WELL DONE!!! Thanks for the great ideas!!

I love the design and decor choices you have made! It’s a very diverse and fun mix of new and old, local and international. Can you let me know where the day bed came from? We are looking for something exactly similar. Thank you!

Such exquisite tastes… It looks so peaceful and beautiful you’ll have your little one sleeping soundly in no time! Love the Eames elephant, wallpaper, and muted palette – an urban jungle every boy would be happy in!

Thank you so much for your words! The bed is the Stratton daybed with baskets from Pottery Barn. We are now thinking about getting a real twin mattress for it (we bought the large pillow/mattress that they had). Their large pillow/mattress is ok for naps or one night but a regular twin mattress will be more comfy for longer stays.

What a lovely room. So elegant and harmonious. It has a serene and spacious atmosphere that reminds me of a New England seaside cottage. I can imagine it bathing you, baby, and guest in deep tranquility. Think Martha Stewart would highly approve! My favorite touch is the blue bows on the crib.

Thank you! The elephant we got it in Europe (Vitra) but you can get it in the US in Design within reach (www.dwr.com), Amazon or Ebay. It comes also in red, green, light blue and pink. It is a timeless design, Charles and Ray Eames designed it in the 40s! It is quite sturdy too, my husband has sit on it :-)

Supreme! You have the ability to express in the decoration a life of travelling and the future plans for the petit traveller. I like the color combination, very relaxing! I love the references to animals in every thing, it is a way of transmit from the begining the love and respect to animals and the nature. Congratulations!!

Thank you. The prints are from Etsy (Jenna Sue Design). Seller is great, not only you get to customize the colors but also the background effects (you can’t really tell from my photo here but I have several different backgrounds, a zebra one, a dark blue paisley one, etc). Very happy with how they turned out! Definitely recommend her!
