While I was pregnant, my husband and I decided early on to wait until our baby’s birth to find out the gender. Because of this, deciding how to decorate a nursery was a bit of a challenge. Neutrals are great, but being someone who loves color and lots of it, I knew an all white and gray nursery wasn’t for me. I decided to decorate the nursery in black, white, and grey with lots of patterns and textures and throw in the whole color wheel to brighten things up.
For our second son’s nursery we were using a former guest room that gets a lot of light, so we wanted to keep the palette neutral, airy, and mature. We didn’t want to be tied down by a set theme, but decided that rustic, barn-inspired accents would make it feel a little more masculine.
We wanted a calm, soft space with some old and new elements mixed in. The room features some vintage blankets, hints of metallics, retro starburst mirrors, and lots of fluffy white and sheepskin!
I wanted to create a woodland nursery, but wanted it to be more sophisticated and of course gender neutral. I fell in love with gold rub and buff and realized how easy it is to make anything inexpensive look a little more upscale (even plastic!). I was definitely sticking to a tight budget so I DIY’d as much as possible and working in a tiny space for twins.

A blue and red room for a toddler boy that combines several themes – cars, airplanes, animals, and superheroes.
After moving into our new home, it was time to put together the perfect room for my little ladies.
Soft pastel colors, with pops of gold give this nursery a pretty yet modern feel, all while being soothing and calming for the new baby.
Calming cream and white gender neutral nursery with a hint of rustic.
We wanted a calming and cheery elephant nursery for our first daughter. We knew we wanted green walls, regardless of gender and ended up with a great color called Van Allen Green. Then we accented with pinks and purples once we found out the gender of our baby (a girl).
My husband and I are both design lovers, and we wanted Sebastian’s nursery to feel like an extension of the rest of our home rather than a stand-alone, cutesy room.
When we found out we were pregnant with our THIRD child, we were surprised, but, even more surprised to find out she was a girl! We have two boys, and I’ve never really been into pinks and frills, so my original idea was to go with oranges and hot pinks. I wasn’t planning to put much effort into her room because I knew we didn’t have the budget or the space for it.
But, our baby was born 14 weeks early in December (she was due in April) and she weighed less than 1.5 lbs. It was a tough time for all of us. And, when I met her two days after she was born, I knew she was our princess. And, all I kept thinking my little princess had to fight to come home, and when she did, I wanted to have to have something beautiful (and girly) ready for her. And, despite our very small budget and small space, I was determined to give her the room she deserved.
A sweet and elegant pink and grey nursery designed for our baby girl with personal touches handmade by mommy and daddy.
Being a tomboy as a child, I was so excited to find out that my first-born was going to be a boy. I mean, after spending my childhood, jumping out of trees and playing with matchbox cars, I thought I’d be at a loss if I had a girl (although turns out I do just fine!).
Up until late last year, we were renovating an older house with the view of selling it so poor Zeb didn’t really get a nursery. Seriously! All he had was his cot (and later toddler bed), some drawers and a bookcase! So, obviously we were both excited when it was decided that Zeb’s room would be the first room to be done.
This is my son’s nursery at Grandma’s house. We share my old room when we visit her. When I found out I was pregnant with a boy I knew I wanted to paint my old bedroom and make it more boy friendly…but Grandma wasn’t down for that. So, I had to figure out how to make my purple fortress (designed by me at 16) more masculine. When I was a teenager I decorated the room with a purple, black and ivory color scheme…I’m just grateful that I didn’t decide to go with a hot pink leopard theme at the time! Sticking with that same scheme, I added a touch of masculinity for my little man using a mustache motif.
Now I love the room, we fit right in! My favorite design elements are the portrait wall of him with little staches on…so cute! and the DIY mobile (made by me) with paint swatches and crystals.
Various Projects
My little man’s nursery has been the perfect little nest to cuddle, sleep and play in! It’s aqua walls with grass green and brown accents provided us with a soothing, warm yet airy environment in a very small space. Most of the pieces were DIY’d by my husband or me!
Now, my little man is not so little and we’ve transitioned him to a bigger room with a camping theme. (Hence, the toddler bed instead of a crib. I added back the changing pad to show what it was like back when he was little). This room will get a gentle makeover soon for baby boy #2.
Finally getting the pics posted here is my way of saying goodbye to this lovely little room!
For me, the nursery planning started the moment when I found out this little bean, my third after having two boys, was a girl! I had ooo’d and aww’d over many a baby girl nursery before but never thought i’d be decorating one of my own one day. In my mind, I was always destined to have 3 boys!
I knew right off the bat I wanted purple and turquoise, and I new I wanted chevron and polka dots… so I headed straight to Etsy for inspiration. Most people head to pinterest, I know I know, I’m just an Etsy girl.
I thought starting with the perfect bedding would be a good place to start and after endlessly searching I could not find a set that had everything I was looking for to save my life. Hmph. So I had to switch gears, I had to think outside of the box.. I went to a fabric site instead. After a lot of trial and error I finally came up with an inspiration board of fabrics that I knew I would love…. and the rest fell into place with the help of some seriously knock-your-socks-off vendors, a few fun DIY projects, and a lot of love <3
