We are super happy with how it turned out. I think it's the perfect gender neutral nursery for the little guy. There is plenty of leeway to change and adjust things as he grows and develops his specific interests.
This will be a photo heavy post (the best kind really). I will also try and list where I sourced certain items.
Here are some before and after shots...
Luke did a great job building the custom closet on the left side of the nook. It leaves some space on the right side for a little reading area for when he gets older. I have grand plans of making a little teepee tent for that side.
The wall color is Metropolitan by Benjamin Moore.

Whew. Thanks for following along this decorating journey with us. It's been fun to do all of these projects together for our little guy. Who wants to make a bet that the next kid's nursery doesn't look this good?? Haha. I sure I hope I can find the time to do all of this again - I had SO much fun with it. I guess time will tell.
Up next: Birthing this baby!
WONDERFUL in every way! You packed a lot into that little room! Glad to see the moose head over the changing table rather than the crib. :) --K

Gee - thanks Rohnda! And yes, I;d love to decorate your whole house ;-) Miss you too, hope you are well!
DeleteHow adorable! You did a fabulous job. I love the accent colors & details. With the addition of that precious baby boy, it will be perfect! Mom
ReplyDeleteWondering if I can feature as a before & after on Apartment Therapy? Sorry I didn't see an email address for you. Email me at alovelylark@gmail.com if you're interested. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky baby!!!! I've never seen such a beautiful room. You and your husband should be very proud of yourselves.
ReplyDeleteStopped over from AT - this is a great room! We are due with our first in June and don't know the gender, I could see this easily working with boy or girl. Can you share where you found the fabric for your DIY sewing projects? Perhaps you mentioned it on another post, but I love the color combos.
ReplyDeleteOur nursery is currently in the "repair-the-plaster" stage...LOTS more to go. :)
Thank you! Here's a link to the designer's Spoonflower page: http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/mrshervi
DeleteWow! Blown away by this awesome room! We're expecting our first in Aug and don't know the gender yet so I love neutral inspiration! That crib is #1 on my list for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
Deletewhat a beautiful room you created!! my son's room also has a fox theme in the works :)

Thanks! I'm all about woodland animals these days :)
DeleteLooks AWESOME! And you had a reasonable budget, too! Not all of us can spend $20,000 on a nursery so I'm thrilled to see lots of Target and IKEA on your list!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. That was one of my biggest goals - to be creative and not spend a fortune. Proof it can be done :)
DeleteThe fabric you incorporated throughout the room is fantastic. I am in love with the whole room! Great work.
ReplyDeleteThanks - you can get it here : http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/mrshervi
DeleteLOVE it all! I am so so so pumped to see my fabric collection used in this beautiful nursery!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
DeleteI saw this on Pinterest and am in love with everything! Especially love the pop of red from the side table and the Spoonflower fabric you used.
ReplyDeleteHow did you go about hanging the plate above the crib?
Thanks! I actually just super glued a safety pin to the back (it's a melamine plate) and then hung it on a nail!
DeleteThis is so fun!! I love it all but my favorite is the wall above the crib. Where did you find all those adorabel prints in the frames?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Various places, the Portland map is from a vendor at the Portland Bazaar, some from etsy vendors as well :)
DeleteThis is so completely darling! We're building a nursery now and it's a blank slate for our June baby. Thanks for the lovely inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi Brooke! I'm also chiming in because I'd love to feature your nursery on The Sweetest Occasion in our new Nook column. Once you're all settled in with baby maybe we can chat? I'm more than happy to coordinate with Lauren as to not overlap with a potential Apartment Therapy feature.
ReplyDeleteHope you're all doing well! xoxo
Cyd - that would be amazing! Email me at ekoorbsnave at gmail dot com :)
DeleteI agree... Martha it is:)

Hi Brooke!!! I have a dark basement w knotty pine and was curious how you prepped the wood before painting. Did you sand it down? What about the grooves? Congrats on the adorable nursery and more adorable soon to be son!!
ReplyDeleteWe washed it down (you can use TSP) then did a light sand followed by three coats of primer (use oil based with a good stain blocker) then did two coats of paint.
DeleteSmall room, big personality. The pop of red from the small side table was a nice touch as well as the other small colored items you put around the room. I love the space-saving idea of having the dresser function as a changing table too. You guys did a great job on this nursery. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Allie! I'm finding it helps having a cute room, especially when you spend so much time in it. It makes me happy to look around at all of the cute stuff :)
