Simple Pink and Gray Nursery Turned Shared Room for Girls

When we found out we were pregnant five years ago, I knew I wanted a soft and peaceful nursery for my first child, Shiloh, so I decided to go with “less is more.”  Three years later, we welcomed our second daughter, Sailor, who had her own beautiful room….. for a year. We welcomed our third child into the world just 13 months later and since he was a boy, he took over Sailor’s room. Pictured are the stages Shiloh’s room took throughout the transition from nursery to toddler room to shared room with sister Sailor.  An addition was added to the house throughout this process which required a hall. We took about five feet from the room to use as a hall, so everything was re positioned and that’s when we painted the accent wall. My husband is very artistic and creative and did this on his own. I love every stage this room has been in and its one of my favorite rooms in the house.

UPDATED Yellow and Neutral Boy Nursery – classic modern

We wanted a nursery that could work for either gender in case our next child is a girl. My favorite color is yellow, so we painted unique stripes around the room. The inspiration for the stripes is an actual paint chip. We chose a gradient from dark on the bottom to light near the ceiling with small white stripes between. I think it makes the room feel larger and taller.
Since the the walls are so bright and modern, we wanted the rest of the room to feel classic and traditional in contrast. Most of pur accents are whites and neutrals to balance the bright walls.

Zachary’s Classic Nursery

The nursery is painted a buttery yellow and the style is classic and preppy – boyish but not babyish. Colors are plaids, stripes and other patterns in primary shades of blue, red, yellow, and green, along with white.  The overall design aesthetic is one of discovery, exploration, and curiosity. The main furnishings are dark mahogany and cherry, with wall accents in driftwood/barnwood gray. 

Little Red Car Birthday Party

I wanted to create a very simple car theme party for Luca with the idea of the movie ‘Cars’ but not using that exact theme.  Making the car red added a nice pop of color against the shades of white, gray and black.  I kept thinking about Route 66 and came up with adding his age inside the route sign.  Then it was fun to think of names to coordinate with all the desserts and drinks.  Such as ‘Fastlane Fruit Punch’ and ‘ Vroom Vroom Vanilla Cupcakes’.
