A Sweet Blue & Gray Nursery for a Baby Boy

What baby boy wouldn’t be thrilled to be welcomed home to this cozy and comfy nursery?!  With an abundance of natural light, this room creates a calming retreat for a baby.  The blue buffalo plaid wallpaper, rustic crib and a touch of greenery give the room the look and feel of a classic farmhouse nursery.  Morning news anchor of FOX 5 in Atlanta, Katie Beasley, designed this precious room for her new baby, Cole Davis, born October, 19, 2018.  This sweet nursery serves as a warm, welcoming space for Katie’s new baby boy!
Cole’s room is the perfect mix of neutral colors and textures.  The blue buffalo plaid wallpaper makes a bold statement, and is the perfect backdrop for the rustic wood crib.  This nursery gives an abundance of baby boy nursery ideas and features sweet baby boy nursery decor.
The mix of different color woods in the nursery furniture gives the room an eclectic feel.  The white dresser from Wayfair doubles as a changing station, saving space in the room.

Katie chose our simple and neutral white and gray trimmed crib rail cover from our Small Wonders Crib Collection for the crib bedding, which fits perfectly in with the color scheme of the room.  The rustic crib and the plaid wallpaper give the nursery a farmhouse style.
A cozy corner in the nursery provides a relaxing spot for feedings and bedtime stories.  The gold floor lamp gives a modern twist to the room.  The nursery is well organized with wall shelves and cubbies for toys and more.
Thank you Katie for sharing this classic and timeless room with us!  This classic baby’s room will never go out of style!

Neutral Nursery

Our nursery project was inspired by our travels throughout the beautiful west coast of Ireland. We wanted to recreate the peaceful feel of a bright and airy coastal getaway in our home as a place to calm our sweet baby boy. We also had a budget to stick to, so instead of doing a traditional board and batten, we saved a few hundred dollars (and our existing baseboards) by retexturing the bottom portion of our walls with $20 worth of joint compound, a sander, and elbow grease.

“To The Moon and Back” Nursery

There is something so special about putting all of the little touches into what will be our second baby boys room. I remember doing the same when I was pregnant with my first son, and sitting in his nursery for hours thinking about who he would be, picturing him playing in it, and imagining the time we’d spend in there. It’s amazing to see that become a reality, and his bedroom is one of his favorite places in our home. I hope the same goes for this new little guy, because there’s been a lot of love put into creating this space for him as well.
My inspiration started with the “To The Moon and Back” sign, purchased the week that I found out that I was expecting. From there, I decided I wanted to stick with a black and white color scheme, with a theme of “the night sky” as my inspiration. Little by little I found pieces to achieve this– striving for both something modern and classic, but appropriate for a baby. I am so happy with how it turned out– as is my first born, who now spends hours playing in his brothers nursery!

Victor’s Big Boy Bedroom

Not too long ago I was planning a nursery. But as every parent knows, time flies by and soon enough you get yourself planning the kids college education instead. Sigh…
When we moved to our current house I was about 5 months pregnant. It was such a special time with the expectation of the new addition to our family of four plus our new house. We were experiencing lots of new beginnings, as well as a ton of design projects, like the nursery for the new baby. For my third pregnancy, we decided to surprise ourselves and not find out the sex of the baby. So, when I designed this gender neutral space, I used timeless artwork throughout the room and neutral colors. No blues or pinks. I also wanted this nursery to be a continuation of the design style of our new house. So I brought lots of white and rustic wood tones to this room just like we have throughout the rest of the house. But my main design goal for this space was to create a room that could be easily transformed from a nursery to a big boy bedroom.
Baby Victor came along on July 27, 2012. During a hot Summer night in 2014, while washing the dishes, I heard a loud thud sound and an instant cry coming from upstairs. Before the little guy turned 2, he had already managed to climb his way out of the crib. We gave it another try thinking that maybe it had been a lucky night when he managed to “escape”, but the very next night, we were faced with the same scenario. So out goes the crib and in comes the bed. I chose this IKEA bed because of its color, clean lines, and the bonus large drawers underneath it for the much-needed storage space. This bed is perfect for this room. We added some acrylic shelving next to the new bed for his favorite books plus a few new wall decals. A fun bedding from Dwell Studio plus some modern pillows and voila, we had a big boy bedroom for the “big” guy.
On the other side of the room, facing the crib and bed area, I designed a desk, dresser, and changing station. We custom made a desk using the same wood from the other side of the room and an IKEA’s old dresser that I used to have in my bedroom. Eliminating the changing pad when we were diaper free was all that was needed to have a full functioning desk for future homework sessions. Most of the decor stayed the same. How could someone ever get too grown up for a daily dose of Sharon Montrose’s gorgeous animal prints, right?
I adore his “big” boy room as much as I did his nursery.

Black + White + All the Colors Gender Neutral Nursery

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.

Sebastian’s North Pole Birthday Brunch

Twas the night before December, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except for two very excited expecting parents!
With our son being born bright and early the First of December, 2014, it seemed only fitting that his first birthday party would kickstart this year’s holiday festivities.  A spin on the traditional ONE-derland theme, Sebastian’s North Pole Birthday Breakfast had just the right splash of sparkle and tinsel, polar bears and penguins, and of course songs and snow!  After all, there is sNOw sweeter age than ONE!

A Tribal Nursery Awaits a Baby Boy or Baby Girl

For our first we decided to keep the gender a surprise and in t-minus 16 days we will find out if we will be blessed with a baby boy or girl.  Starting with a clean slate for the nursery can be both exciting and overwhelming, which direction to go.  We knew we wanted to keep the room neutral, but will a splash of color that would be suitable for both boy and girl which is why our main colors are grey, aqua and coral.  Overall our goal was to create a nursery that was inviting and cozy enough that even grandma and grandpa would want to take a nap in the room.
