Modern

Long Live Boyhood Nursery

I wanted to create a space that will grow with my son through many stages of life, not just the baby stage. We used a hand-me-down crib that was gifted to us by family, shelves were made by his grandpa, initial canvas was a DIY project by me, dresser was a clearance find at a local furniture store, mirror is from HomeGoods, rug is from RugsUSA, and glider is from target. I feel like we delivered a room that he will love for years to come!

Space Nursery

Space and space exploration have a special place in both my and my husband’s hearts. Our wish was to share that with our child as soon as he enters the world and what better way to do it than to bring space into his nursery.
This is a DIY project, with the wallpaper and knot pillows sourced from Etsy, the furtniture set from Little Guy Comfort, the shelving and rug from Crate Kids and the handwoven rug from Love44. The glider is from Babyletto. The wall hanger is from West Elm. The window treatment is from the Shade Store. The wall, ceiling and trim paint is from Clare.
The nursery is the perfect space for our son – both are a labor of love and dedication towards building a thriving and loving family together.

Pink Floral Nursery

My favorite color is pink! I was on a pink and gold kick and really wanted to create something special for my little girl on the way.
My husband and I love DIY…we found this dresser at the goodwill…sanitized, sanded and painted for the perfect pink dresser. Our floor lamp was  another free find. We were able to refurbish with some good spray paint.
This particular crib style is discontinued, but I linked a similar option.

Neutral Baby Girl Nursery

I knew I wanted a neutral nursery with pops of muted colors here and there, that way it could easily be altered to fit her personality and interest as she grows.
I started with picking the white color for the wall and then picked the rug which is from Boutique rugs. I wanted to make sure I got something soft that would not be rough on her little body. Start with the bigger items first then move to smaller accent pieces. The crib came next purchased through project nursery, I stayed with a natural wood color so that it could be used for future babies! After the crib I picked the cream piper chair to match. Her dresser was a rattan thrift find that we repurposed and painted white. I suggest a dresser with many large drawers. After that I picked pieces such as the light fixture, end table, mirror and laundry basket all in rattan, natural wood colors.
her scent colors are dusty rose, blush pink and green.

Knox’s Modern Forest Nursery

When we found out we were having our second boy, I immediately started doing searches for nursery theme ideas. I had already done a safari themed nursery for my oldest that I loved and wanted our new baby to have something special of his own. For both boys, the idea was to get furniture that would grow with them and a design that could be tweaked as they moved into toddlers without redoing the whole space. I decided on a “modern forest” theme for Knox. I wanted something that felt clean and peaceful, but also inviting with touches of playfulness. I love the look of a black and white nursery, and chose to add touches of cognac and forest green for some warmth. After putting together an inspiration board, I started looking for pieces that I felt went with the theme. There aren’t a lot of places to shop in person where I live, so I did most of my shopping online. I decided on the main furniture first and then filled in the accent pieces and décor after that. Having the big stuff in the room helped me feel out where things should go and what the space still needed. It took a few tries and exchanging things in and out, but I love the end result and hope Knox will too!
