Nesting With Grace

Baby Boy Nursery

My sweet niece, Kasidee and her husband, Tanner are having a baby boy in July! They are going to be such loving, good parents. We are thrilled for them! Kevin and I offered to makeover their spare bedroom into a nursery. They just moved into a new home they are renting, so we wanted to honor their rental agreements and use things that could easily be taken down without permanently damaged the walls.

Thank you Walmart.com for sponsoring this post

Nursery Bedroom Before-

This was basically an empty space for us to create a cozy nursery. They cleared out the random items that were in this room before we arrived. We could have painted, but since it is a rental, they would have had to paint it back once they move. So instead we decided to keep the walls as is, and add an accent wall with peel and stick wallpaper!

Baby Boy Nursery After-

Now it is a nursery!!! I started with the rug that I already had and Kasidee had commented she liked it. Then I found the Gem Geo peel and stick wallpaper, it adds so much to the room, and doesn’t damage the wall when it needs to be removed.
To tie in the walls that didn’t get wallpapered we did the Gem Geo peel and stick paper on half the window wall. Finished them off with a piece of white wood trim, stuck on with glue dots too!
These white wood ledges were perfect for books and to finish off the wallpaper. Practical things as decor, is the best type of decor!
The Jenny Lind Crib is my favorite style of crib. I had it for all three of my kids! The nice thing about this crib is it converts to a toddler bed too (it comes in 9 colors). All the main pieces of furniture are from Walmart.com, stylish and affordable decor. We got the crib, rocking chair and dresser all for under $900!
I picked the art for over the crib because it reminded me of Southern Utah (where they live) and what kid isn’t fascinated with airplanes?? The airplane in the art gave me the idea to hang wood toy airplanes on the wall!
After we put together the wood airplane toy, we spray painted them in a matte black and hung them on the wall with glue dots.
Simple wood peg rack for diaper bag and sweet baby jackets. The wood sign was from Finn’s nursery!
Curtain panels make a big statement! Even if we only added the gingham curtains and not the wallpaper, they would have added a lot to the room. I like mixing patterns, feels extra cozy! We used this simple black rod to hang the panels, and hung two panels on each side.
I can’t say enough good things about this Swivel Glider chair from walmart.com! It is really comfy, and has a high back to rest your head on as you rock your baby. It does come in three colors too.
Tanner is 6’4″ and he was raving how comfortable the glider chair is!
I used this rope bench as a spot to stack books and a plant, an unconventional side table. There is a dresser close by for the lamp, a drink and more.
Went with a simple Mid Century Wood dresser that not only offers storage, but a place to change the baby!
The Chambray Cross from Lindsay Letters pulls in the blue from the rug and wallpaper over to this wall. It looks like fabric, but is printed on canvas. It is attached securely to the wall, safe for baby to touch.
Diffuser is a must for creating a perfect sleeping environment, we gave her Snowy the Owl Diffuser (comes with two favorite oils). We also love a sound machine!
Thrifted that airplane to repeat what we did on the opposite wall. The nursery doesn’t have a theme, but a collection of unique finds.
Congrats to this sweet family!
