One week and counting until our little bundle is scheduled to arrive! I thought I would share some pictures of the nautical themed nursery that we’ve put together for our special little guy.
My husband, Brett, painted the room. Surprisingly, he let both girls help for about 10 minutes. That was enough time for them to get covered in navy blue paint from head to toe – he is a brave, brave man (and a super-wonderful daddy). Brett had already put up the chair-rail and crown molding when we did the girls nursery, but he painted the navy blue and tan that I picked out from Home Depot. Both paint colors are Behr and they are in satin finish.
This room has always been our nursery, but it’s taken on a whole new look now. No more pastel pink and green, we’ve moved onto navy blue, tan and red. I definitely think it shouts “boy”! All of this furniture was already in the room from the girls and I’m really happy that we went with a honey colored wood because it works just right for a boy or a girl.
We had this little round table in the nursery before, but I just changed out the overlay. I sewed a large square of fabric from Riley Blake’s “All-Star” fabric line and kept the cream colored tablecloth that was already on the table.
I’ve always loved our glider. I just love rocking and gliding with little ones. Occasionally I still take one of the girls in this room when they need some mommy cuddle time. Both of them still love the soothing motion of the glider. If you are debating on whether or not you might want one for your nursery, go ahead and get it, it’s well worth the money. Ours has an ottoman that glides with it as well. We ordered this one through target.com and it has held up really well.
The pillow on the glider was sent from my mom. As I’m sure you know by now, she’s always making special, handmade things for the kids. She made this pillow and matching quilt for baby boy’s nursery. She named the quilt “Oceans of Love”.
Here are some more pictures of the “Oceans of Love” pillow and quilt made by Grandma Jane……
I love that my mom puts a label on every quilt. The beautiful thing about quilting is that these things can be cherished forever; therefore, a label with a date makes this a true family heirloom that can be passed down.
My mom was inspired by a quilt she had seen on “Moda Bake Shop” but she adapted it to make it her own. I think I need to get Grandma Jane on the blog to do some quilting tutorials, what do you think? Don’t know if she’d ever do it, but you never know…..hint, hint.
I added a bunch of different nautical accessories around the room that I really think pull the theme together. I wanted to do some accessories that were nautical, but not necessarily “baby”.
