Nursery Inspiration

So for our boys nursery, I decided to go with a explorer/nautical theme. Being that Scott and I both grew up in California and love the coast, it made sense to introduce that part of our lives to our son who will be raised in Colorado. After painting the walls a lovely warm cream, we went with a color palette of blues (navy and sky blue) white and cream. We ended up scoring a free, wonderful dark wood Pottery Barn crib and then I purchased the Serena and Lily 'Harrison' Bedding. We have an antique dark wood rocking chair that goes perfectly, but still needs some pillows for both comfort and style. On the walls so far we have some antique prints, one of a sailboat and a set of some old city views that have a 'nautical' feeling to them. I also purchased a super-cute vintage dresser from the Denver 'Paris Street Market' that is refurbished in a cream color and has white seashell drawer pulls. For the most part the nursery is done, I just need to get some additional items for those 'special touches.' These images below were inspiration for the process and a few of the items from Anthropologie may end up in there...:) I'll post pictures of the finished product soon!

Don't you just love these tent idea's? Summer always makes me want to pitch a tent in our backyard and make s'mores and tell ghost stories. In a couple years I'm sure we will be doing just that with our little one who should be arriving here in about 10 weeks... Hope he loves summer as much as his dad and I do!
