Nursery Tour// Baby Boy Nursery & Video

I am so excited to share todays post!! We have had such a great time putting together the nursery for our baby boy who could arrive anytime now. If you want to see my design board and inspiration that post is here, I think it came out pretty dang close to my original vision.

Ultimately my goal was just to create a cozy, calm space that we would all enjoy being in. It is no secret I enjoy neutrals in the home but for the nursery I did want an accent wall and some color. I decided to do a Navy accent wall and then keep the rest of the space neutral, white and fluffy. I love the contrast and how it came out.

We started the space by painting the accent wall a shade of Navy, this is Sherwin Williams Rainstorm, you can see from the pictures it looks more blue or more navy in different lighting. Our plan for this wall was to add some molding to create a board and batten look, however we didn't realize how textured our walls were until we painted so we ultimately decided it wouldn't look right with the texture and decided to skip that, by the way yes my husband was thrilled not to take that on.

For the nursery furniture we looked around at several places. Originally I wanted white however while at Target randomly my husband spotted this set, which is a white wash/grey and we loved the look and quickly scooped it up. We got the matching crib and changing table dresser. We were really happy with these pieces because they weren't plastic like others we looked at and a good price point without being cheap.

Once we had the crib we used that as the jumping off point for the rest of the room decor. Luckily the nursery is a small space and you don't want to go overboard so we didn't need much. I had a hard time picking a rocker/glider for this room because I really wanted something comfortable and that would also fit in the space, plus they are pricey so I wanted to make the right choice. After reading lots of reviews we decided on the Di vinci Olive and we are thrilled. It works perfectly for the small space and is incredibly comfortable. Also our fur baby agrees as he spends most of his days laying in the seat.

I also got some floating bookshelves for above the chair to hold some of his books. For the curtains I actually layered basic grey blackout curtains and basic white sheers on top of each other. I used curtain clips to be able to layer them.

In terms of decor we didn't get a ton, just a couple pieces for above the crib and a couple above the changing table.

For above the crib I got this faux JuJu hat from Hobby Lobby which I love the way it pops against the blue wall. I also wanted a sign for above the crib but couldn't find any I liked. Luckily while at Hobby Lobby I discovered they now sell blank signs so you can design your own. I am very happy with how it came out.

For above the changing table I got these prints of baby animals off Etsy that I love. We may also put something on the wall next to the changing table and window eventually.
