Nautical Nursery



Photo Source



Photo Source



Ever since I found out that this baby is a boy, I have been scouring every source I can find for nursery inspiration.  At this point I consider myself somewhat of a professional at girls rooms, but boys are a mystery in pretty much every way, and I have to admit, I'm a little lost on how to mesh boy stuff with our home style.

Luckily there are some incredibly talented amateur and professional designers out there and I have found more than inspiration than I can ever use ( short of becoming a Duggar).  Now the hard part will be choosing the inspiration for my own little boys room.
One of the themes I really like is the nautical theme, it would be so easy to do a fully nautical themed room, or just use a few elements to add a little preppiness to your nursery.



I love the color possibilities in a nautical theme. I also really like how it can carry a travel theme without being too mature-looking. Another big bonus about a nautical theme is that it can grow with your baby, or even work for a shared room, just switch out the crib for a mates-style bed and your big boy will fit right in too.

My Awesome New Wall Art

How insanely gorgeous is this decal from A Baby Wall on Etsy?

I just ordered it for the girls room and I'm so excited to see it up!

If you're in the market for some wall art yourself you should check them out.  They have great prices, squee-inducing designs, and each of the different pieces is totally customizable.

It was a tough decision for me between the birch trees and this,

and how gorgeous would this be in a little boys room or  a playroom?

You can check them out on Etsy, A Baby Wall

Wool Dryer Balls
$13
LoneStarMamas
Wool dryer balls are a natural alternative to the PVC dryer balls that are currently out on the market. Dryer balls are used to help keep laundry separated in the dryer thus allowing more airflow between and through fabrics which cuts down on drying time. And because laundry is being moved around more, it stays softer which cuts down on (or may even eliminate) the need for health-hazardous fabric softener!


Plastic Laundry Tub

This listing is for one plastic laundry basket with handles. The container is made from a durable plastic and is about 9.5" tall, 18” wide and 13” deep. The saying says “Laundry Room Loads of Fun.” This would be the perfect addition to any laundry room.
