I'm so excited to share my absolute favorite spot in the house with you today! Baby H's nursery! It's finally complete (at least I think so) and ready for his arrival! His sweet daddy worked so hard putting things on the wall and assembling the crib and glider. I had the job of painting the dresser which I think turned out pretty good!
My idea for the nursery whether the baby had been a girl or boy was to do a simple travel theme. For a girl I would have gone with the same wall color and except for the pops of red I'd substitute coral. I have always loved to travel and figured this baby would most likely have a pretty full passport in his lifetime too.
I loved this little giraffe print we found at Hobby Lobby. The car print is a picture I snapped in Germany one year. The car is wearing the traditional black forest hat that a lady would wear. The car is a true "lady bug". The little phone booth is a trinket from England and the little dolls are from Japan. My dad brought them back for my sister and I when we were small.
I love the globes on the side of the changing pad. Josh's Aunt Michele hand painted the black one and the small one my sister picked up at World Market.
The chicken wire frame I found at a local antique dealer. The frame looked a little rough so we painted it with Annie Sloan chalk paint. Easiest paint to use EVER.
I went for a classic Jenny Lind style crib. Figured it would work for a boy or a girl. The crib bedskirt is a nice gray linen. I loved the baskets for toys that I found at Marshalls. I wanted the nursery to have different kinds of textures. The curtains were a good find at Target! I loved the print and that it was fun but not too busy.
The little giraffe on the side of the crib was from Josh's childhood bedroom. It makes me smile to look at it. I loved the prints from IKEA that we hung above the crib. They are like vintage travel posters and they were the perfect amount of boyish style above the crib.
A lot of my favorite nursery pins on Pinterest feature these cute bookshelves from IKEA. This kiddo has quite the collection of books (more are in the basket on the ground). I love the two framed prints. One was a shower gift from our dear friends the Masonis'. It's an actual painting copy of our 4D ultrasound. What a precious gift.
I have spent a lot of time rocking in this chair already. It's super comfy and a little wrinkly. Ha. Apparently I need to steam the wrinkles out.
Last but not least, we love these hot air balloons that my mama made for the nursery. They turned out so cute. She's so creative!
That's the nursery!
