Leonis Nursery Reveal

I really wanted to create a neutral space that my baby girl can grow into. Other than the crib I used furniture pieces that can be used when she grows up as well as other places in the home. I wanted to stay away from the typical pinks and try some yellows with pops of powder blue. I still managed to make the space look extra cute and girly despite the colour palette. Im in love with how it turned out and it suits our baby girl so well :)

Modern Board and Batten Wall Nursery

We really poured our heart into Ford’s nursery, especially the vertical board & batten accent wall. This was our first DIY project at our new home. We couldn’t decide if we wanted a geometric pattern, like Within the Grove (http://withinthegrove.com/creating-a-modern-wood-accent-wall/) or a vertical board & batten wall, like Honey Built Home (http://www.honeybuilthome.com/vertical-board-batten/). I decided to do a combination of those two ideas. I’m thankful I found their blogs, because it really inspired our project.
We also couldn’t have completed the accent wall without our friends, Morgan & Dan, who already had experience and tools from completing one in their nursery. It was amazing how quickly it came together. Because our friends brought the tools, our supplies for the accent wall only added up to around $100!
I’m also grateful to have found @linseywoods.home on Instagram for the decor inspiration in the diaper changing area of the nursery. And I really love supporting local shops, which is why I ordered several things on Etsy.
It’s such a gratifying feeling knowing we worked really hard on this project for our baby. We had considered hiring a contractor to complete the accent wall, but every time I walk in the nursery, I’m proud we took it on ourselves. We are new homeowners and if we can do it, anyone can! We’re looking forward to more projects like this in the future.

Mid-Century Modern Glam Girl Nursery

This nursery is extra special. After three years of unexplained infertility, two losses, and a round of IVF, we found out we were having a baby girl. The room started with the three rainbow watercolor prints by Ana Jones. We found work at a local art show right after our second loss. As tears run down my face as I write this, I loved the three pictures and knew my future baby had to have them in his/her room because that baby would be our double rainbow to our very long storm. I knew they would be over his/her crib despite what the room looked like.  I then found a vintage Broyhill dresser that set the mood for the room. I loved a blush, mustard, and green color scheme thanks to Pehr designs and their Lovely Llama mobile.  I also thought that mustard and green could be used for boys too, so if God gives us a boy next then all I would have to do it paint the walls. I could’ve gone a lot of directions with the room, but my friend Bre Bertolini had created this scallop wall in her girl’s room and I loved it. Then I knew she had to have velvet green curtains. Everything else fell in place.
I didn’t have a budget per se, but I am always cost-conscious. I wanted the West Elm x Pottery Barn crib but didn’t want to spend the money. Novogratz launched their furniture line around the same time and their crib was perfect. It was also more perfect since I could get it on Amazon with a gift card. Everything else was going to be brass from the beginning.
I wanted to share her nursery because I love it. It is my favorite room in our house. It is cozy, dramatic, and gorgeous to match the personality of our baby girl. I hope this nursery gives you some inspiration and gives you the courage to do something dramatic.

Monochrome Modern Nursery

We are expecting our fourth and final baby – a BOY! The general vibe in our home is more of a modern farmhouse, but I have had this desire to do something more modern, and I knew this would be the perfect opportunity! We are big DIYers around here, so I sat down and started planning. I drew up some things that were completely out of our comfort zone, put a ton of hope and faith in my talented husband and showed him my plans. He not only brought my visions to life, but absolutely ROCKED them. This space is small, but mighty…and I am SO proud of the final product.
We designed the feature wall and created it with mdf boards. My husband built the sliding wood door for his closet, wood shelves and the rad modern style blanket ladder we saw on Shanty2Chic’s blog.

Striped Nursery

This is my third boy and second nursery in this room in less than 4 years, so I knew I wanted to change things up without having to repaint the entire room or purchase new furniture. I also wanted to make this a room that could grow with him. I found inspiration from different striped rooms/furniture/decor, pretty much wherever I saw a stripe pattern I liked. Then I played around with thickness of tape…using thin tape for some stripes and then even doubling up on thicker tape for different weight and contrast among the stripes. I used a peacock blue/green paint for the stripes and then last second added in some light grey to soften things up a bit. I found a super affordable and super soft, plush rug with a mix of blue and green at Ikea. Painted an old pegboard to give it some life and kept accessories very minimal to maximize space in the small room.

Colorado Nursery and Book Nook

We live in and love Colorado so we wanted to create a room that illustrated the natural beauty of the state. We already had a red wall, so it seemed natural to place aspen decals on it. I was raises on a love of foxes and was often sung A Fox Went Out On A Chilly Night so it was important to have that shown in our theme. We kept things more “adult” and less baby, so our son could grow into the room. And reading is something we want our child to love so we used the corner in the room to make a book nook where we can change the latern over it at any time. Friends and family gave us many children’s books to fill the ledges. One of the grandfathers made the crib out of 25 year old maple so it fit in perfectly.

Floral Nursery: Oh Deer Greely’s Here!

I was looking for a dramatic floral wallpaper to build my design around.  When I found this, I immediately fell in love with the pinks, ivory, and grays contrasting against the black background.  I began searching for our second feature & found the gray tufted crib at Restoration Hardware.   I wanted to combine a bit of rustic elegance, and hoped to find an antler chandelier to add that and found the chandelier on Etsy.  To compliment the chandelier, I added the mounted deer head with the frame & crown.  The changing table is a family heirloom, painted with black chalk paint and adorned with glass handles to update.  I added the script initials to a large tin piece found at Hobby Lobby.  The walls were painted with Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray.
 
 

Jax’s Nursery with Black and White Accent Wall

This room was being used as a large closet by the previous homeowners. I knew it could make a great nursery with the right layout and a fun accent wall. My husband and I used tape and paint for the wall pattern. I also carried over this paint color on the closet doors to give them a fresh look. I didn’t want typical baby boy colors, so I brought in some leather, woods, and other rustic accessories found on etsy and at homegoods. I wanted a space that could grow with my son.

A Neutral Baby Boy Nursery

As a first time mom, I had high hopes for this nursery. My husband loves design, so we planned everything together. We wanted to keep this room super simple, and I didn’t really want any type of “theme” — That’s not really our style! I knew from the beginning that I wanted lots of neutral colors and I wanted the room to be calming. I think we achieved that! I love going into Beckham’s nursery at night when it’s dark and turning the lamps on…I do it often, just becauseI love it! It is so peaceful! This nursery is everything I dreamed of for our first baby!

Nursery Perfection for a Princess!

Whats better than a decorative throw pillow to style a crib? Um, I know – a throw pillow in the shape of a cloud…and a tear…and chevron sheets! Adorning 2016’s trendiest colour palette for girls, pink and grey!
I had the pleasure of adding a little styling to Miescha’s nursery (which was pretty awesome to begin with), aiming to create warmth, balance and texture through a bit of layering with the use of rugs, throw pillows, blankets and mobiles; creating a room fit for only the finest of princesses.

Hand Painted Floral Wall Mural Nursery

While pregnant with my most recent baby (#3 a baby girl!) I spent several early mornings hand painting a focal wall in her nursery. I was loving the look of Anthro’s floral wallpaper but not the price. I also wanted something original and unique for her. So for just $20 I created my own take on the water color floral trend! Her room is so pretty and girly and with two brothers before her, this momma is very happy with that!

Teal my Coral Heart

This room is a direct reflection of what makes my wife and I feel like kids again. With me, my energy comes from creating and designing things so the entire scheme right down to the hand painted stripes on the wall were from my own imagination. My wife is a lover of all things cute and cuddly especailly animals and specifically giraffes. Throughout the room there are different animals popping up from the tiny elephants on the sheets to the large woodcut giraffe on the wall.
The project isn’t just about starting things new, it is also a reflection of the past. the colors themselves are different variation of our own wedding colors 2 years prior and the larger painting of the wall contains the phrase “Ciao Bella”. Bella is the name of the 1st love in our lives, our Black Lab we adopted as a puppy. On the bookshelf you can also see nods to the past with porcelain dolls from my wife’s childhood and our favorite books we read when we were young. And finally right where it belongs, is a stuffed pig that even at 30 years old makes my wife tear up.
This nursery is a perfect representation of our past present and future, just as our future daughter will be.
