Theo’s Baby Nursery
I chose to do surf theme/nautical because we have a house in cape cod and I want to take my son there and want him to like the water.

I was inspired by Lily Pulitzer’s mermaid cove print while creating a nursery for baby girl #2! I love the bright splashes of blues and pinks and even the touch of lime green. This room theme will be perfect when transitioning to toddler/preschools years.
This nursery was in dire need of brightness, function and FUN! My Clients already had so many great pieces, but they just weren’t working together cohesively.
We completely transformed the space by freshening up the wall colour, installing this wonderful paper boat wallpaper and selecting additional furniture and accessories that would really pull together a bright coastal vibe. The room now has a beautiful bookcase to display and store toys and accessories, a fun acrylic book ledge library, some large toy bins and tons of textural wall decor pieces, like the incredible blue ombre Lorena Canals wall hanging. The Captain art print really adds a nice pop of colour to the crisp white walls. We added a swan paper mobile above the crib, and I love how it floats gracefully in front of the wallpaper. Also, the various shades of blue that were sourced for the space add so much depth and tonality, seen in the adorable pehr cushion, narwhal crib sheet, light blue cushion in stitched Ellen Degeneres fabric and lamb knit doll.
Simplicity is always best conveyed when designing a space with purpose, and that’s just what we did. The result? A delicately coastal room that is calming, serene and perfectly practical for its’ sweet little resident.
Although we live in Upstate New York, my husband is from San Diego and I wanted to pay homage to his hometown and a beloved activity of his: surfing. I didn’t want to go overboard with the theme and be too beachy or nautical, since I want this room to grow with my baby boy. The result was “classy coastal”. There are some beachy elements and some nautical elements. I love to play around with patterns and textures so you can see that throughout this room. The first two things I chose that inspired the whole nursery were the Serena and Lily wallpaper, and the surf car print from Minted. I hope you love looking at these photos even half as much as I loved creating it!

A classic nursery that combines both nautical & travel inspired elements. Not wanting anything too theme specific, we incorporated coastal & travel components into one cohesive nursery using muted shades of blue and gray, natural wood tones, & mixed metals.
My inspiration was a piece of artwork that was a wave made out of stars and another piece of children’s art called “where the ocean meets the sky”. I wanted to incorporate stars and the sea in the nursery and these pieces of art helped my vision come to life! I had a vendor on Etsy make me a sign that said “where the ocean meets the sky I’ll be Sailing”. Little by little I added designs of the sea and the sky
Here is August’s Nautical Nursery. Mostly hand-made and DIY projects collaborated to make this nursery come together!
A nautical nursery for our ocean state baby.
I wanted something with soft colors and we love the ocean, so this room was born.
I wanted to create a dreamy and soothing space inspired by the sea.
This is my daughter’s Nursery. It has a “Sailor Girl/ Nautical” theme.
Liam’s Nursery is an eclectic mix of found objects, antiques, and handmade items. I personally challenged myself to design and create many of the arts and crafts projects that would decorate the room. I crafted the “Liam” letters using paper mache letters, maps, and hodgepodge. I highlighted areas on the map that my husband and I had traveled to. I used the same collage technique on a handmade cardboard deer head that I cut out and handcrafted. I then challenged my Photoshop skills to make two graphic posters. The first incorporates the lyrics to our wedding first dance song “I Cross my Heart” by George Straight. The lyrics were very fitting for this occasion. The second image is of Zoey, Liam’s furry big sister.Lastly, I dusted off my sewing machine and put my amateur sewing skills to work to create the large, overstuffed, teal seahorse puff. All other items were either gifted to us, found, or purchased at antique stores. One of my favorite finds were the two silk screen prints of a plane and ship, printed over vintage maps. These were found in a small nautical antique shop in Ohio.
This is the Vintage Nautical Nursery my husband and I put together for our little boy. We had a budget of $1000 and crafted and created the whole room for under $800! We love this space & wanted to share it with you! :)
Green and navy nautical themed nursery
Our intention with the design of our first child’s nursery was to create a room that could grow with him. We didn’t want it to be too ‘baby’.
Both my husband and I have grown up on the water and enjoy all the activities that go along with that lifestyle. We wanted to reflect our love of offshore fishing and the nautical lifestyle. Unfortunately, the majority of nautical themed nursery items are sailboat related. Although we appreciate the beauty of sailboats, our families have never been into sailing as a hobby. Creating a space that reflected our boating and beach lifestyle, required a little more creativity on my part.
I wanted to create a bright and happy nursery for my daughter. After designing my wedding I was inspired by the colors coral and teal and decided to add yellow for a fresh feel.

Eli’s nursery was decided to be nautical with an element of whimsy. His mom wanted him to be able to grow with the room.
