Little Boy's Classic Americana Nautical Bedroom
If you’ve been following along with my design projects over the past year, you may remember this sweet little girl’s room update with gingham bedding and floral wallpaper. Next up, it was her brother’s turn for a little room revamp! We updated this little boy’s bedroom with some wallpaper, sconces, and a few pieces of wall decor to pull everything together and give it a little more of a grown-up feel that he will be able to continue to grow into! I love how the "faux shiplap” wallpaper turned out and you really would never know it’s not real until you get super close! Instead of lamps, we added these brass sconces which go perfectly with the nautical theme of the bedroom.
Holiday Home Tour 2019: Southern Vintage Christmas Nursery
I absolutely love getting to decorate JW’s room for Christmas each year! Last year I got this cute little tree at Target and it has been perfect for his room. I display all my childhood ornaments on it and some other fun little additions I’ve picked up to add the last couple of years (lots of Disney and keepsake!). This year we also added a cute little train around the bottom of the tree, Christmas tree pillow on the rocker, and a smaller tree near his book nook. One of the first things I did come November was switch out all his books in his reading nook for Christmas books. We have so many I’ve been collecting that it’s easily filled up with just those! This room makes me happy every time I walk in and JW too!
John Woodford's Vintage Southern Nursery
We welcomed our sweet John Woodford into the world on November 26th, 2019, exactly a week after his due date. Almost two months have simultaneously flown and crept by since then, but I am loving every second of watching this precious boy grow. John Woodford has slept in his nursery every night since the first night we came home, so this room is getting plenty of use. I wanted to finish it completely before he arrived, and since he took his time, I had plenty of extra days to work on it! There are still a few things I want to add here and there, especially now that I have a better idea of what we need practicality wise, but overall I love how it turned out. It’s the perfect mix of traditional southern, modern, and vintage with sentimental keepsakes throughout. I loved designing this space as it was just an empty, blank white room when I started a few months ago.
Our Fixer Upper: Nursery Updates
We have less than a month (hopefully) to go before Baby Woodford’s arrival which inspired some serious nesting and nursery work this past week! I dedicated two days to putting away and organizing 2 shower’s worth of gifts and hanging shelves, artwork, curtains, and decor. We also got our overhead light installed this week, so I finally have some light in here when it’s dark out! I feel so relieved that the bulk of decorating and prep in here in complete now and I only really have a few finishing touches left which I should be able to work on this week.
Our Fixer Upper: Baby Riddle Nursery Design
Time is flying by and I already feel like I'm so behind on getting the nursery ready for baby Riddle! I have made some progress over the last couple of weeks, narrowing down crib options and paint colors for the room though. I have a good idea of the overall style of the room that I am going for and have already started collecting a few cute accessories and vintage decor items. I really am leaning toward a more traditional, Americana style overall and this first inspiration below is one that I keep coming back to.
Our Fixer Upper: Nursery Design Inspo
Now that we know the gender of baby Riddle, I'm ready to start designing and decorating the nursery ASAP! I've been working over the past month to get my former office cleared out which we will be using as the nursery since it's right next to our bedroom and super convenient from all parts of the house. We will be moving my office to the bonus room space over our garage, so it will be bigger and more spacious (with room for a little play area for the baby too)! The future nursery is one of those spaces of our house that I have done absolutely nothing to since moving in, so it's really a blank slate.
