I had to really change gears to decorate Ford's nursery. I guess being a girl made it so easy to decorate a girls room. It's like I am drawn to all things pink when I walk in a store or look in a catalog. So to decorate a little boys room in a short period of time was quite a task for me. But all in all, it is complete and ready for his arrival.
I tried to go for very calming colors and textures. I found this bedding at the Pottery Barn outlet in Memphis which ended up being a lot cheaper than online. I love the colors and the sweet little elephants. We used Olivia's bed since she is in a big girl bed now. I think it is just timeless and gender neutral. I hope to keep it forever and use it when we have grandchildren (I hope that is eons away).
Ford's bookshelf filled with stuffed animals, books and toys. I went through Olivia's room and found everything gender neutral to put in Ford's room. She didn't have much. But I did find a nice place for the belly cast. Who knows how long it will actually stay there. The big yellow truck was given to us by Hays' grandmother. It was his when he was little. Olivia loves it and I am sure Ford will to.
This is the same rocker that was in Olivia's nursery. It was pink minky dot but we had it recovered in white. What was I thinking? We sprayed it with scotch guard and are going to hope for the best. Ha....yeah right!
Love these. I had the frames made at a local frame shop and bought the letters at Hobby Lobby and just hung them inside the frames. So easy.
We are using this antique sideboard as a changing table. I LOVE it. If it doesn't fit with his room later I will just put it somewhere else in the house or get it repainted.
Ford's going home outfit. I am still in shock that all of this is blue and not pink. Somebody PLEASE pinch me!!! Is this really MY life??? Thank you, Lord for all my many blessings.
