{Finishing Touches} Baby Boy's Nursery



Just a quick post today since it's way too beautiful outside to be on the computer! I ordered Dean's letters from PB Kids when I came home from the hospital and finally hung them up this morning. Other than adding some of his newborn pictures here and there, this boy's nursery is DONE!

{Decorating} Wall Art for the Nursery

I just added this wall art to the baby's nursery today!

Check out the super simple details below:

{Four 12 x 12 artist's canvases from Michaels or AC Moore}
{I choose two different fabrics that complimented the nursery from JoAnn's Fabric Store}
{Lay the canvas face down on the fabric (also face down). Leave enough extra around perimeter to wrap around edges.}
{Use a staple gun to secure the tightly wrapped fabric around the canvas}

That's all! You've got yourself some cute and inexpensive wall art!

This came to be when I was shopping in Crate & Barrel the other day and noticed all the pretty punches of color they had all over their store walls. After looking more closely, I realized it was just fabric fastened securely over canvas or corkboard and hung on the wall.

Ironically, I had purchased four artist's canvases a while ago, planning to paint something on them for the nursery. However, I changed my mind on the painting idea because I couldn't decide exactly what I wanted to paint (not to mention I'm sure I would have messed something up!). Instead, after my C & B wall art siting, I bought cute fabric with stripes and polka dots and using a staple gun, attached the fabric. These are hanging over the changing table/dresser.

{Decorating} My Little Fella's Nursery

{View of entire nursery}
{Crib and bedding}
{Clean and simple - love it!}
{Leaning ladder shelf, rocker chair, and Roman shades}
{I will be adding personalized signs with my son's name and birth stats to the empty frames on the shelf once he arrives. The "P" is for Powell :o)}
{Changing table/dresser}
{I will be adding some wall art with my little guy's name that I'm working on currently above the changing table or crib - not sure which just yet.}
{Shelf that holds the monitor. I also added some old windows that will eventually serve as picture frames. Once I have my baby's newborn pictures taken, I will add some photos. I contemplated sanding them and painting them white, but I love the old look of them, so kept them in their original state.}
That's it....it's finished! Well almost. Like I mentioned above, I have a few more touches that I will be incorporating that have the baby's name on them, so I won't post those pictures until he's born. Overall, I was going for a clean, soft, and simple look for my baby boy's room. I love soft colors for a baby because they are so sweet and pure. I think when he transitions into a big boy bedroom one day, I will go a little bolder with my color choices. But for now, this is just what I wanted for him.

Shopping Details:
  • Expresso crib and changing table/dresser - SimplyBabyFurniture.com (stylish and affordable furniture)
  • White leaning ladder shelf - Target
  • White chenille rocker and ottoman - Walmart
  • Expresso shelf - Lowes (wish I had gone a little higher quality with this purchase)
  • Wall paint - Benjamin Moore for Pottery Barn Kids (color: white satin)
  • Bedding - Pottery Barn Kids (white pique set with blue stripe)
  • Rug - Pottery Barn Kids (5 x 7 Caine rug)
  • White Roman shades - JC Penny (great sale!)
  • All baskets & bins - Target, Home Goods, Pottery Barn Kids

{Baby Boy's Nursery} - Sneak Peek!

My baby boy's nursery is not even close to being finished yet, but I figured I'd post a pic of what we've accomplished so far. Walls have been painted a light blue, expresso crib and dresser ordered and put together, white leaning ladder shelf added, blue and white striped rug, and a simple lamp (not in picture). That's it so far....very simple. I love this little room....it's so bright and sunny! More to come....I've got lots of projects planned for this little guys room!

{Details} ~ My Baby Boy's Nursery

February is just around the corner, which means it's almost game time! This boy will be here before I know it! I've been working on his nursery like crazy. My husband had off the week after Thanksgiving and he finished clearing out the room, which we used as a junk room up until that point. He also painted it and put together the crib, dresser, and shelf. So far it looks really nice....very simple....I love it!
For the last few weeks, I've also been working on designing/ordering some things for the room. I just wanted to share one of my latest finds from Etsy. It's a monogrammed pillow and matching onesie. I haven't received it yet, but I think it's going to be adorable. I plan on placing the pillow on my rocker in the nursery, and the onesie I plan on using during his newborn photo shoot. I choose fabric #9 for my pillow and onesie (a little tough to see because the pic is so small). Can't wait til this package arrives!

COMING SOON:
  • Back porch pics (it's finally being enclosed!)
  • My nephew's 2nd birthday party details
  • My baby boy's nursery decor / nursery projects
  • My baby shower invitations (yes, I'm making them)
