Nursery Inspiration


Happy March!

We've had about one month to let the news sink in that we're expecting a boy!  And as you would expect, I've been furiously pinning away on Pinterest...trying to seek out inspiration and a color scheme.  I had to switch gears in my mind...though I was totally open to the gender, it was clear I had been pinning slightly more feminine ideas.  Boys are a little harder...I want something more modern and sophisticated, not too babyish. 

We've officially ordered the crib and mattress, which I will save for a fun reveal, but now I feel like things are officially underway...so it's time to start making decisions!  Here are some nurseries that have been a huge source of inspiration:

I'm pretty much in love with everything about this nursery!  From the color scheme, to the crib {which is discontinued, btw}, to the whales on the chandelier and pillow, and the adorable map letters.  It has everything I am looking for in our nursery!

{via}

This nursery has a similar color scheme and overall vibe as the last.  I love the curtains and the cute pillow!  I would also love to mimic the striped walls.

{via}

I'm totally digging the mix of patterns and how whimsical this space is.  And again, it has the adorable blue, gray and orange color scheme that I'm digging!

{via}

Again, loving the gray striped walls and adore this rug!  It's on my list!  :)

There is a lot to love in this nursery!  I can just imagine swapping the yellow out for orange.  I also love the idea of creating a striped piece of artwork, which is featured through the link.

I'm not sure if we will be able to fit a rocker in the room, but I love this orange guy for something smaller.  Also loving the wall color.

How cuuuuute is this little dachshund light?!  Also loving the chevron rug and crib! 

The bedding is what's stumping me the most!  I really don't want to have a matchy crib set, so I'm thinking I'll just got for a crib sheet and skirt {no bumper}.  Have you scoped out anything you love?  

Oh and just so you can picture which room we're transforming, it's this guest bedroom

We've got our work cut out...but I'm excited to get started!

I love the incorporation of the orange! Orange + blue or Orange + green I would have used a lot of if we had a boy!

Love your inspiration photos! I have no doubt that Baby Schue's nursery will be perfect. :) Can't wait to see the crib you ordered!

Mateya said...

Love the inspirations! Something will come to you as far as the bedding! It's going to look great!

Kristin said...

Natasha, have you been to www.babybedding.com? They have a more modern bedding & an option to design your own! Something you may be interested in!! :D

Natalie {Designer Bags and Dirty Diapers} said...

We have such similar taste. I love these color schemes, so calm and gorgeous!

Simply LKJ said...

Love them all! What I am loving most is the trend of babies rooms not being "baby"...no more Beatrix Potter and Winne the Pooh. Something that can grow with a child makes so much more sense.

Baby Shopaholic said...

I love them all! Very soothing! Can't wait to see the nursery!

Stephanie said...

I love, love, love blue and gray together. Good idea to just get a sheet and skirt. it's the same thing my sister did because bumpers have so many risks to them.

Taylor said...

cute cute CUTE! That nursery is perfection - yours will look just as amazing I'm sure!

Love these pictures! Love your vision with the nursery!

I'm going to email a picture of a nursery that made me think of your style you are going for!

Have a great day!

Jenna E said...

I just pinned the first nursery pic. Sooo perfect!

Oh Sunnie Day said...

So sweet! I think I like #1 & 2 the best :)

Amanda said...

These are all so cute and wonderful inspiration!

Kate @ Daffodils said...

All so fun! If you look on etsy, a lot of people are willing to just make one part of an entire set!

Chelsea @ {twotwentyone} said...

I love the first nursery-- it's perfect for a little boy! I like how it has a slight nautical theme with the whales and whatever those things are called that are hanging on the wall. I'm not a fan of overly themed rooms.

Jeremy and Megan said...

I LOVE your pinterest inspiration!

Jess said...

I love the red and blue nursery theme! I think it's a way to mix great non-gender colors! And YES I adore that dachshund light!!!!

Jill @ ACharmedLife said...

goodluck creating your perfect nursery! i can't wait to see the guest bedroom transformation :) i'm certain baby boy schue is going to have a peaceful place to rest his head at the end of your redecorating (slash repurposing!).

Ashley said...

Alex {Things That Sparkle} said...

Love all of these spaces for inspiration!!

Carol {Everyday Delights} said...

I just love all these pictures you've posted! I love the "Tate" letters in the top picture.

alicia said...

I know one thing for sure... he is going to be one lucky little boy!

Calypso In The Country said...

They are all beautiful but I think the first one is my favorite! You are smart not go too babyish. They grow up so fast and you don't want to have to change the room every couple of years. We are in the process of trying to "unbaby" my son's room. Boys rooms really are harder to decorate!

Jaclyn said...

I love the grey striped wall and turquoise rug in that middle picture. The colors look so good together. Can't wait to see what you put together :)

Shelley {Crazy Wonderful} said...

LOVE the color scheme you're going with. Can't wait to see how it all turns out!

Mad Max and Family said...

Natasha, you know what is funny? I am also currently obsessed with gray and yellow ... and red and blues together for a nursery!

I love your ideas. And I love modern. Do you have to work w/ a small space? My Max's room is a small space (although, big enough for a baby)... I actually really wanted something gender neutral yet very "baby" for him - and I was obsessed with browns:

I loved painting his walls with lambs! You can see more on his nursery at my blog.

You cannot go wrong with a tangerine and blue color combo. It is fresh and fun. So many decorating possibilities!

Liz {Sequins And Stripes} said...

All of these rooms would be so lovely!

Gaby [The Vault Files] said...

Love all of these rooms, and I agree with you, I find that boys rooms are a little bit more harder than girls'. Perhaps is because we don't want them to look too "cute". Whereas with a girl you really don't have boundaries. Really looking forward to the transformation ;)

sarah@totalbassetcase.com said...

Love the dog silhouette pillow and that dachshund lamp! I am digging the gray and orange- I think that is a very good color scheme that he could grow with!

Michelle @ Ten June said...

I actually literally love every single one of your inspiration images!! Seriously perfect! Especially that first one. Love love and can't wait to see what you come up with! : )

Emily said...

Moddy Bee said...

I love all of your inspirational images. I'm making a nursery design board in a navy, gray and orange color scheme for my friend that's expecting a boy. So fun!
