When we found out that we were expecting a baby boy, my husband immediately said that he wanted the nursery to be truck themed. Not being big on themed rooms, I told him we could do truck accents. I love what we did and so does my husband – he’s even told me that he wishes we could do our bedroom like this. ;)

Sara
Where did you get the striped fabric on the curtains?

I love the alphabet collage and all the pictures in the room. Great Job!!
Starlight Juliet
Where did you get the idea for the stripes? It’s brilliant! Great job.
The Unglamorous Mommy
Brandee Gonsalves,
Thank you!! The alphabet wall was a DIY project. I ordered unfinished wooden letters in different sizes and fonts. I painted to match the room and mounted on a piece of wainscoating that we framed out. The mirrors are from Hobby Lobby. They are the mirror plates that you use to put candles out on a table. We attached them to the wall with a ton of Command strips.

Sara,
The striped fabric on the curtains is actually ribbon. I added some white fabric to the dot panel to give it length. I then found ribbon in different widths and colors that matched and randomly glued them in rows to the fabric. The same treatment was done to the lamp shade, a pillow, and the diaper caddy.

Starlight Juliet,
The stripe/boxes for the wall just kind of came to me. My husband had no idea what he was in for! :) The stripes on the curtains, lamp, pillow, and diaper caddy were DIY with ribbon. I wanted to mix up patterns in the room while keeping with the same set of colors.
The Unglamorous Mommy
Thanks everyone!!! We are so proud of our little man’s room!!
Megan

Love that collection of signages or logos by the door.It gives a vintage touch to a modern-looking room. I also like those circle mirrors.
mely.madden
Hi, I love your room and it gave me ideas for my son’s playroom. Where did you get the vintage signage?
The Unglamorous Mommy
Ysczabel,
I got the signs from http://www.retroplanet.com and the mirrors are candle holders that you put on tables. I fastened them to the wall using Command strips.

I have purchased the same fabric for your curtains as the bedding for my son from Target. I couldn’t find any curtains to match though and love yours. Did you find the bottom half at target? I coudn’t find them?

Very cute room! I did the same thing using bookshelves as a bench! As for the others wanting to know what kind, I used these http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20116274/. Hope this helps!
Bree
Thanks Nikki! Wondering if you are able to paint it since it’s particle board? (I’m thinking not) and are you able to use the middle as a bench–is it heavy duty enough? Thanks! :)
Jennifer Powers

Lori Wyatt
And I think they already come in different colors :)
Tiffany
Lowes also has the bookshelves. I have one that is unfinished, and looks like I should go back and buy 2 more now :)
Brady
I found a place to get unfinished wooden storage that looks similar: https://www.discountwoodworks.com/page.php?250,0
Looks like it’ll cost about $304 to get the same configuration as they have in this nursery – 2 – 4-section cubes (2 x $90), 2 – 1-section cubes (2 x $27) and 1 – 3-section cube (1 x $70)
Danielle

Kelsey
Where did you get the bookcases from? Thank you
Autumn
I love the room. You did an amazing job! I have been wanting to do a bookcase just like this. I feel like you created the room I have been planning and pictured in my mind. I was so excited to see your pictures. I know you said the fabric was from target and I’ve seen some of the bedding in this pattern but was wondering if you used a sheet for your fabric or how you did it….? Also wanted to know if you could share where you purchased the wooden cubes to create your bookcase. Again, I adore your work and would love to hear back soon. Thank you!

Diana
Love the blue paint color- please post the brand/name of it…and great job!
Alena
Love the idea for the bookcase/bench. Where did you purchase them from?
Jolenec
FYI- it looks like she used bookcases instead of cubes. you can get them cheap at IKEA and just paint them and stack. just a suggestion. the seat cushion tutorial can be found on interest. you use plywood, foam and wrap fabric around and staple. i love the room- wish i had the space to make the book cases.
Ashley
