Southwestern

I wanted to create a nursery that was cozy and original, and that had a “highland” feel to it with lots of wood and warmth :). I stayed away from any themed room that was purchased as a whole. Each item of my nursery I found independently and unrelated to each other. It was a very long process for me to be honest! I can really get obsessed with decor haha! :) I created my color palette and from there I started seeking and custom-making magical things that could reflect that warm adventurer emotion of the mountain life: a woodland subject without being too literal in regards to the figures used. It is centered around the fox (I really inspired everything on the fox basket), nevertheless there is basically only one toy that is literally a fox. I always loved seamless patterns, so the wall decals have that sense of hand-drawn, same with the linens. Many things were created on Etsy with my own color palette (mobile, wall decor, macrame, planters, etc). I also wanted to stay away from the typical light baby blues or greens, so I incorporated contrast and vividness. I also added tribal, southwestern and boho textures and patterns through the stool, the rug, etc.
This was all created for my new baby, Daan. He seems very happy in this environment and interested about what is around him. Every day he discovers something new! A plant, a bear, a sign, a book. Life should be like that: humbly curious and eager to learn about what surrounds us! :) I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you Project Nursery for guiding me through your Instagram posts, inspirations and amazing taste!

The highland cow print above the dresser was the inspiration for my son’s nursery. We ended up going with a southwest/highland cow theme. My favorite pieces in his room are the rug and macrame above his crib.

I wanted to create a space for our first baby (it’s a girl!) that we would love spending time in. A room that would be cozy and cute for our little one. I love that this room has a touch of modern and boho but is still girly and unique. It incorporates all of my favorite design styles! The walls in this room were already painted a light pink from our home’s previous owners. I wanted to do an accent wall so we painted one wall white and added the Lucca Cactus Wall Decals! I am obsessed with how it turned out and just one set of the decals was the perfect amount for the accent wall. Plus they were super easy to apply! Although the decals are probably my favorite aspect of the room, I also love the Nyla Changing Basket (and knew I wanted a changing basket versus a changing pad from the moment I started getting inspiration for a nursery) and the sweet canopy that will create a fun reading nook for when our girl is a bit older. We can’t wait for our little girl to be here and know that she will love this room as much as we do!

We were inspired by the nurseries we’ve seen posted on Project Nursery. We wanted something timeless that could easily be transitioned as the baby gets older and starts to have her own likes and interests. The removable wall decals and curtains added just enough color without having to paint the walls. The board and batten wall is a timeless piece that will be able to stay there as baby grows up. We added shelving that was again inspired by Project Nursery but built by her daddy which adds sentimental value. Accents of baby elephants throughout the room add a fun touch without being overbearing.

Once my husband and I found out we were having another boy we knew we wanted the boys to share a room. I wanted to create a space that was beneficial for my 3 year old and my soon to be newborn. I kept most of the decor from my first sons nursery and just added some small details to make it feel new. I really love how their room turned out and my oldest son could not wait for the arrival of our new little buckaroo to share their room.

My one year old has fought his crib since birth. So while trying my last ditch effort to transition him into a regular bed, and find the perfect toddler friendly twin bed..I fell down the design rabbit hole, and sparked a whole new bedroom design around this new bed! I wanted his room to be moody and cozy, while still keeping a clean design, without much clutter. He has the smaller room in our house, so I needed to maximize space, while still keeping a functional layout.

When I found out I was having my 3rd boy I was a little disappointed haha, but ONLY because I really wanted to design a room for a girl with all the girly things! I was also really into the boho/rattan/neutral rainbows trend and all of that to me screamed girl. I went on a Pinterest hunt to find a boho nursery suited for boys and was a little underwhelmed. So I came to terms that this design will have to come completely from my own head (no pressure).
This room is small (6.5′ x 10.5′) and has no closet, so storage was key and most elements would need to play double duty to accommodate that. There are also two large windows that take up almost all of the wall space so even wall storage was limited. I knew my craigslist dresser would need to double as a changing table and finding an alternative to a closet was a must. I also found a petite side table that was perfect for storing late night feeding essentials as well as a beautiful, boho lamp.
One of my favorite elements we incorporated was the feature wall. I had seen similar walls in other designs but they were always painted a moody color (beautiful but not right for this space). I knew to keep the small room feeling as big as possible I needed to keep all the walls the same color, even more so because the wall color would already be broken up by the large windows. So I went with white on white and really loved how it turned out.
Layout was going to be tricky as I really wanted a chair included in the design. I knew a rocker would be out of the question, so something a little wider with a low profile is what I looked for. I found this beautiful rattan chair at Ikea.
As I started pulling in elements I wanted to be careful not to go too southwest looking or too feminine. As it started to come together I fell more and more in love and more and more excited for another incredibly special baby boy.
This is easily now my favorite room in the house and I often come in here to rest, decompress and just be still.
 

From the time Nash Hampton was in the womb, we called him our little “cowpoke”. He always seemed to do what he wanted, when he wanted. When he was born and his personality began to bloom, “cowpoke” really defined his sweet soul SO well! He was an easy, go-with-the-flow baby and stayed that way up to this day. It only made sense for his first birthday to be COWPOKE themed!
When I began looking for inspiration and invitations, I couldn’t find anything that fit my vision. I ended up designing his invitation on my own and creating my own vision for his birthday party.
For each party I throw, the small, intricate details are most important to me. Every decor item you see on came from antique stores, estate/garage sales, and things I collected over time to complete Nash’s nursery (did you see his own branding iron with his initials?).
I wanted to only offer finger foods to keep things simple – just like life is on the trail. A cowpoke is always on the move and doesn’t have time for dishes ;)
