Home Tour: The Nursery

I chose to put this room first on the tour because it is by far my most favorite room in our house . . . and consequently enough, my most favorite room to have decorated!  Being a former kindergarten teacher, choosing an "old school" theme for this room seemed quite natural and ended up being more fun that I could have ever imagined.

This is our baby girl's nursery.

















I was thrilled that this room was featured in
Apartment Therapy's Ohdeedoh 
TLC's Parentables!

(Wall color- Behr: Jamaica Bay)

  12. What a fun fun room! I love the ABC wall. I'm a former K teacher too, so I love the 'school' stuff. I just finished my son's nursery and would love it if you'd stop by and see it!

  16. would you mind sharing your sources for the round orange rugs and the various letters. Thank you so much. Amazing room!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Absolutely! The rugs came from IKEA. I believe they were 10 bucks a piece, and I'm pretty sure they still carry them!

  18. i loooove the alphabet wall! i've been wanting to do that in my little boy's room since i first saw it floating around the internet. this just made me want to do it even more!

  19. Beautiful! I love the turquoise and orange combo, and the schoolhouse theme is so fun! I notice you don't have a bumper pad. I don't either (because I haven't gotten around to finishing it yet) and am wondering about just leaving it off. Have you liked the crib without one?

    ReplyDelete
  20. For a long time, I did leave it off . . . and I REALLY didn't want to put one on there- but with the introduction of pacifiers- I had no choice! Without it, all her pacifiers would fall to the floor! So, I went out and got a VERY basic thin, white one from IKEA. Again, I'd still love the look of no bumper! :)

  25. I just found your blog and love this room. If I would have seen this 3+ years ago, this would be what I wanted! Maybe for kid #2 if that happens?! I've liked the vintage vibe for awhile and so I've collected a few things - old books, wooden blocks - but love the baskets, letters, and chalk boards! Thanks for showing off your house!

  26. I absolutely LOVE this nursery! We just painted our nursery walls the same color and are doing a tree mural with bright orange and yellow leaves! So, simular color scheme....I'm wondering if you could tell me how you got the polka dots so perfectly lined up on the desk drawer? I'd like to do something like it but don't know where to start!

    1. Thanks so much! That is actually wrapping paper on the dresser drawers. It was mod podged on then lightly sanded. I hope that helps! Your nursery sounds fabulous!

  28. Love the nursery! Being a retired teacher of 35 years, (24 1/2 being in kindergarten), it really hits home with me. Love the vintage pieces.

    1. Funny, someone just sked me this the other day...we used the large desk (with the mirror above). It worked wonderfully!! Plus, Ross used to LOVE looking at herself in the mirror!!
