Sweet Dreams, Baby Patrick

The Ralph Lauren Seagrass wallpaper and sage green walls really set the scene for my sophisticated safari nursery.  I had lots of fun incorporating all the animals in different ways: A Rhino puzzle, life-sized baby giraffe, zebra rocking horse, elephant mobile, monkey jack-in-the-box, animal books and paintings of course. The green shaggy rug resembles the African plains and the white porcelin elephant hooks with the binoculars and vintage safari hat add detail to the theme. The linen chair, mercury glass lamp and Johnathan Adler Morocan pouf to be used as an ottoman were items I already had, but thought they went perfect in the room!  I was super excited about my antiqued pine dresser, matching nightstand and whip-stiched burlap drum pendant that hangs from a thick rope… very “Indiana Jones-ish”. The custom bedding with blue and grey Chevron contrast a swirly masculine paisley with pops of aqua, gray and white. And no nursery these days is complete without some bunting. Pulled all the colors used in the room and had one custom made for the wall.

Baby Will’s Nursery

We wanted to create a beautiful nursery for our Baby Boy Will!  Something that was soothing / calm, yet vibrant…sophisticated, but not overly mature.  We used soft colors with bold accents (hello zebra rug!) to achieve this.   Living in NYC, space is tight, so we had to be creative to fit all of the must haves in his room.   Keeping the furniture light in color also helped the room to feel more light and airy.
