Gender Neutral for Little James’s Nursery

Description

A somewhat gender-neutral nursery without too strong of a theme that goes with the flow of the rest of our house.  I would have picked the same colors if I were having a girl.  ;)   

Design Inspiration

Anthropologie meets French decor - a mix of patterns and artwork with cool colors of French blue, slate grey, and small pops of coral.

Decorating Style

Cottage Chic vs transitional vs French design

What a beautiful nursery! I love the soothing colors and the fact that it can work for a boy or girl. I absolutely love the seagull painting above his crib. Do you know the name of the artist? Thanks!

WOW- Such a wonderful nursery. Not too babyish but fitting for a little one. This is my inspiration for my little girl's nursery! I love the changing closet idea -cute!

You DIY sea mobile looks really interesting, and so do those framed prints or artworks.

It really is gorgeous . . . a really unique space, one I haven't seen before. So personal, so soothing. I love that you have a theme, yet it doesn't hit you over the head (for lack of a better way of saying it!)

I agree . . . like something out of the dreamy RHB catalog, however, more personal.

Well done!

Such a cool and calm nursery! I love the french look to this room. It reminds me of RHB nursery's. I also love the smocked outfits that you have for him. So cute! I dressed my son like that when he was a baby. They can only be a baby once and it is fun to dress them like a baby. So sweet! Good luck with your little baby boy!
