Simon’s Alphabet/Geeky Nursery

We wanted a nursery that was functional, fun, gender neutral, and showcased our love for all things GEEK.  We picked out the crib bedding first – Babyletto Alphabet – and used the bright colors and alphabet items in it all around the room.  We used graphic prints inspired by our favorite sci-fi shows and movies as most of the artwork and even had Gillian Anderson (Scully/X-Files) sign one for Simon!

Asher’s serene nursery

This room has a lot of things that have meaning to them. The tree wall decal  is my favorite piece in the room. Our daughter was stillborn at 27 weeks in November 2011 and I really wanted to incorporate her in to the room. I love the saying in the Notebook, if you’re a bird, I’m a bird so this tree with the pink and teal birds were perfect. I added scrapbooking stickers to spell out their names. At 26 weeks, we found out that Asher has a severe heart condition. We ended up going to Houston to have a fetal intervention done and we kept saying that the stars were aligning for him so that is where all the stars come in to play.

Cole’s “A is for Airplane” Nursery

When I found out I was having a boy I was very excited for two reasons.  One reason is because I love little boys and the other reason was because we weren’t going to have to repaint our navy blue room!  I wanted the room to have lots of color and I loved the ideas of the ABC’s and some airplanes because my husband wants to be a pilot.  I had such a blast decorating and did most of it myself or had family help out to keep the costs down.  It is such a happy room and most of the decorations will grow up with him for several years to come.

Tyler’s nursery

We just moved into our new house and found out we were expecting about a year later.  We had renovated the whole house and were so excited to redo a bedroom into a nursery!  For our son we wanted a modern yet playful design that didn’t scream “baby!” so it could grow with him as he grew and we wouldn’t have to update it right away.  Every time I sit in his nursery to feed him I feel happy and fulfilled.  It’s exactly as I could have imagined.

A Nursery for Baby E

When we found out we were expecting our first child we wanted to be surprised about the baby’s gender, but not about the design of the nursery. We knew we didn’t want frills or footballs, rather a place that was what we consider calming and relaxing – for our baby and for us. We picked gender neutral colors and fabrics, and after ‘she’ arrived added girl touches throughout the room. A good friend, Heather Safferstone, is a local designer and helped us pair down our ideas. She encouraged us to choose things for the room that would work as a nursery but also as our baby grew older and the uses of the room evolved.
