Nash’s Toddler Room

We were about a month from our second son arriving when our 2.5 year old was growing quickly out of his crib.  So, having to prepare a nursery in addition to a toddler room, we needed to consider cost in addition to design.  It was also important to maintain some sort of “nursery” to his room; incorporating pieces that would keep the room still feeling like it was his (pieces like the black and white canvases that used to be above his crib). With a little creativity and a lot of build up to our toddler, we were able to come up with a successful and cost-efficient design we love!

Boy or Girl?

I designed this nursery for my sister and brother in law’s baby. They aren’t finding out the sex of their baby so it had to be gender neutral. I didn’t want it to have a typical gender neutral color scheme so I chose yellow, turquoise, grey and white for a fresh palette. Their budget was incredibly tight so I found old pieces of furniture and refinished them. Only the crib and rocking chair is new. Some items from my brother in law’s childhood were incorporated into the design for a more meaningful touch. We took out the doors to the closet to open up the space. The inside already had the blue and white wallpaper. Due to time and budget, we decided to just keep it. Luckily it kind of goes with the color palette!
