Oliver’s Nursery

09/24/2014

I had so much fun planningΒ Oliver’s nursery.Β I chose to go with a clean, modern scheme with lots of gray, taupe, black, and white andΒ touches of natural wood, faux fur, stars, and stripes.

Neutral NurseryI’m really happy with how it turned out and think it will be appropriate for both boys and girls in years to come. And let’s be honest – this is totally my “mom cave” so the calming palette is 100% intended for me! I do like how the book covers in the bookcase add a little splash of color though.

I also adore zoo animals and think they are so fun for baby so I threw in some elephant, giraffe, zebra, and lion accents, plus a few deer heads in there for good measure because Β every kid’s room deserves a little bit of whimsy and who doesn’t love a good deer head? ;)

Like the rest of my house (which I share bits and pieces of on Instagram), the nursery is a mix of pieces I already owned, gifts from family and friends, DIY projects, secondhand Craigslist items, IKEA and Target bargains, and a few name-brand items. I tried not to buy anything at full retail price because that’s just against my religion but I also wanted to stay focused on my scheme. To do this, I organized my ideas onto aΒ PinterestΒ board, woke up every morning and scoured Chicago-area Craigslist, shopped sales and collected coupons whenever they popped up, and used gift cards,Β Pottery Barn rewards certificates, and Chase credit card points to buy things like the bookcase and books. And I have to credit my amazing husband for installing and mounting everything you see here!

And before we did any of this, we painted the walls a fresh coat of white (the walls are Benjamin Moore “Cloud White” and the ceiling is Benjamin Moore “Simply White”) which really brightened up the room because it has limited natural light.

I just love spending time with Oliver in the nursery and can’t wait to have storytime and playtime in there in the years to come.

P.S. I am completely 100% aware that you’re not supposed to leave stuffed animals and blankets in the crib. They are just props for the photograph and I remove them when he’s napping in there! :)

One more angle of the bedroom I shared yesterday. One more angle of the bedroom I shared yesterday. We decorated the rest of this client’s home in vibrant blues and purples so I wanted to continue that color story in their main bedroom but in a more muted, calming way. This couple is obviously not afraid of pattern mixing (😍) and it was truly such a joy to hand select fabrics for each element in the room. 🎶
