Gray and White Nursery

I absolutely love designing, crafting, and creating beautiful things. This was my first baby and I was on the search for a crib that would be different than what you normally see and good quality. I wanted something gender neutral. I stumbled upon this beautiful crib at rhbaby Restoration Hardware Baby and Child’s website and fell in love. I tried to talk myself out of it because it was pricey for a crib. I decided to keep looking but I couldn’t find anything else that I could fall in love with. So I decided to go with my first love. I knew I wanted a wall of stars but I also wanted stripes. I was concerned that the both together would be too busy, especially in a small room. Then I was on the search for themes that I could incorporate in and I came up with a Woodland Theme. I loved the animal photos from Restoration Hardware but they where way overpriced. I was so happy to stumble upon a shop on Etsy that had similar photos at the fraction of the cost.  I took forever to  determine what size pictures I would put on the wall. The animal photos come in different sizes. I end up going with 12 8×10. I had found the garland from hobby lobby but I had to remove the pink. I stumbled upon the teal blue elephant and giraffe and that’s when I decided teal blue would be my accent color. I tend to get carried away with hanging pictures on the wall. I left one wall without photos. I’m happy with how it all came together at the end. Now only if I could get my little one to sleep in there.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

It was pretty exciting to prepare a peaceful and neutral room for our little boy that is coming soon. We wanted the style of the room to grow with him.
White paneling were installed to warm the room with pale gray paint for the walls. We chose white furniture and accents of color were incorporated to get a happy feel.

We wanted a nursery for baby girl that would be functional, feminine and something she could grow into.  The previous owners put in the wainscoting/bead board and chandelier so we wanted to work around both of those things.

I created this chevron gender neutral nursery for my daughter’s first baby.  She doesn’t know what she is having, so we had to keep it neutral.

Our vision was to make her room feel apart of our home so we didn’t go completely crazy with a theme. However, if I had to describe the nursery, we were going for a clean chic – using grays, whites, and touches of blush pinks with fun patterns throughout. The bedding was the first thing we picked out, which I fell in love with, and it set the stage for the rest of the nursery. We did a lot of the projects on our own which helped cut costs and also made it more personal. We are extremely pleased with how everything turned out and are excited to share!

Elephants!

I was looking to do a boys room without the typical ‘boys toys’ something relaxing and something to create imagination. I had a strict budget so lots of sewing and DIY was involved.

I was set on avoiding cliche themes! I went with neutral patterns and colors, that way if we ever have a girl, we could change the pops of color from red and teal to pink or purple!

Modern, bright, playful and fun!

Since we still don’t know boy or girl, we kept things fairly gender neutral and surprisingly it wasn’t hard at all!  (Probably because I love greys and whites entirely too much!)  I’m so happy with the cloud-like feeling that wraps you up each time you enter the room. And believe me, I enter at least 10 times daily….I really do! Ask Michael. He thinks its weird :) To balance the whites and neutrals, I wanted to add lots of texture and touches of dark wood tones. And thankfully, our ebony hardwood floors were the perfect accent!

I wanted a clean and simple space with lots of natural light. I also wanted lots of colors and textures without having “characters” or a “theme” to his nursery. I started with gray and white and added in golden yellow and a little blue. I didn’t mean for it to but his nursery actually turned out very gender neutral.

I didn’t want a real “themy” nursery and wanted something that would be able to grow with our first baby.  I loved the idea of super bright, almost rainbow colors with a neutral base to complement them.  The wealth of resources on Pinterest made it fun to put the room together, and we actually ended up spending half of what we budgeted for.

This room was one I could not wait to design!  Once we knew we were having a girl, I knew I wanted to create something that was on the girly side, but not overly pink.  I love the combination of the colors of gray, white, and different shades of pink, and hope that our baby girl loves it too!
