It’s here, it’s time, I’m FINALLY ready to share Austin’s big nursery reveal with you all! I kept wanting to share this with you from before he was born, but it was never “complete”. Well, it’s still not “complete” now either, but it’s probably the most I’ll get done for awhile as things are pretty busy around here. From the beginning, I always knew that I wanted to do a grey themed nursery. I just LOVE the color grey and I think it’s a great neutral color palette to work with. And it can easily be turned into a “girl” nursery too (for possibly later down the road, way later). I also love the innocent look of white furniture and how it goes so well against grey walls. Blues, greens, and yellows brighten the room up and complement each other well. I have a sincere love for baby animals, so much so that some of my coworkers even call me “baby animals”. I think they may have caught me looking at Cute Overload over a lunch break one day… haha. Anyhow, so I knew that animals needed to be a part of his nursery. Besides animals, I also wanted to bring in a design element and since chevron print has been another obsession of mine for awhile too (can’t you tell from my blog banner), I figured that was the perfect modern touch to add to his nursery. There you have it, a little background on how I designed his nursery, now I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking!

Sandy! So beautiful!! Love all the personal touches on the walls. Did you know I’ve never done a nursery… we’ve never lived in a place big enough for one, so baby stays in the room with us. I can only imagine all the hard work and planning it would take, good job mama. xo!
super duper cute sandy, great job girl!!!! i love how you can convert this girl to a girl’s nursery later on too!!
I love it! Gray is my favorite color and I love the pops of blue green and yellow! My own boy nursery looks very similar in my head! 🙂
It looks amazing, Sandy!! Nice work!!! 🙂
very cute, sandy! i love the gray walls…. (my fave wall color!) and i am in love with chevron accents. i just got a chevron rug for my family room. 🙂

love it! it is adorable. i love the grey 🙂
So cute! I love all of the artwork. When we moved into our new house (before my second baby was born), there was a tiny room that we were going to use as his room. It was painted 3 colors: light blue on the top half, a pink stripe under it, and then a seafoam green on the bottom half. Stupid me was going to just paint the whole room a beige color (because the pink stripe would not work for a boy) when my mom said, “Why don’t you just paint the pink stripe yellow?” DUH. I let her do it and the room looked fantastic. It matches his bedding perfectly. I have to say that I don’t dabble in the house decorating because obviously I am not to swift!! Ha ha!
