Description
Owen's nursery is a mix of vintage and modern pieces. We incorporated as many meaningful items into the space as possible. His father and I had a great time putting together the room. (I did the planning, he did the work! ha) Not really, Momma helped as much as she could too. Many DIY projects were completed to add a special touch to the space, including converting an IKEA chair into a rocker/glider, DIY shelves, embroidered artwork, DIY curtains, and a few other projects.
Design Inspiration
Blogs such as Holly Mathis Interiors, Jones Design Company, and Honey and Fitz.
Decorating Style
Vintage, modern with a touch of rustic elements

Advice
Go with what you love and make it a personal space. You spend so much time in the nursery you really want to love it. Also I was reluctant about adding a twin bed to the nursery but am so glad we did. It not only gives us an extra bed for company, but it also serves as a great place for Mom or Dad to relax while the other is rocking the baby.
Tessa,
Thank you!! They are the AINA curtains from IKEA in Natural.
Where did your mom get the fabric and how much did she need? I love the nursery.
I love the curtains! I’m looking for them on the website, do you remember the name and color? Love your style!
What paint color did you choose for the walls?
Tara,
I wish I could tell you for sure, but ours was given to us by my hubby’s Grandmother. We think it is an old map from a school. Sorry, can’t help you more!
Cheyenne,
Thank you!! I will find out if my Mom used a tutorial and get back with you. I am so happy you like it!!
where can I find a vintage map to hang like that?
Love this nursery . . . in particular, the drapes and bedding. Well done!
I love this room! How did you all make the bumper, do you have a tutorial on how to make it?
Thanks Kim! We don’t know exactly where the map came from it was given to my husband by his Grandmother. We think it is an old classroom map?? Hope you find one!!
Kelly,
Thank you so much Kelly! It was so fun to do. I wish I could give you a source for the map, but it was actually given to my husband by his Grandmother who has passed away. So no help there, but we think it was an old map from a classroom possibly. Maybe a search for that will come up with something? Good luck!!
Emily, where did you get the vintage world map? I have been searching for one! Great job on the nursery!

Thank you! Can you believe it is actually navy, I know it definitely looks black in these photos though. I really need a good camera!

Thank you Julie!! The art print is from Jones Design Company she sells art on her blog. I have ordered a few things from her and have loved them all!
LOVE this nursery! Where is the dog print with Owen’s name on it from?
It is very nice! I am also planning on hanging a vintage world map I got sometime ago, but was not sure how to display it as it is not framed yet..so great inspiration I got from yours…
Great job! Black and white details against linen,love it!
Gracie,
Thank you so much Gracie!
You did a great job on Owens room and he is so adorable. I love the fabric that you used on the curtains and the crib bedding. It looks like linen! It also has that RHB look. This is a room that can grow with him and I really like the vintage items.
Mimi did a great job on the curtains and bedding! Good luck with your bouncing baby boy!
