Vintage Rustic Nursery: Part 1 The Design

Today I want to share with you our design ideas for Baby Boy's nursery.  When we initially found out we were having a boy, I immediately started scouring Pinterest for ideas to create the perfect nursery for us and him.  I will say, initially it took me forever to figure out where I wanted to go.  We I went through theme after theme (literally from Texan to vintage baseball to all neutral to about a dozen more ideas) but nothing stood out and made me say, "YES!  That's it!"  Until I found this blog post from Living Beautifully...One (DIY) Step at a Time.

Ummm, HELLO!  Is that not the cutest vintage-y rustic nursery you have ever seen!  She did such a great job at creating this space and it is by far the best representation of what I was imagining!

We will actually be using a lot of the items she shared from her nursery.  However, she links a lot to a Canadian store/website (since they are in Canada) and so I have found the exact or similar things available here in the states.  Here is what I have come up with so far for the mood/design.

1) Milo Glider - Land of Nod
2) Jellycat Woodland Bunny - Nordstrom
3) Leather Moroccan Pouf - Etsy
4) Be Brave Wood Sign - Etsy
5) Sherwin Williams North Star grey
6) Squirrel Nightlight - Urban Outfitters
7) I Love You Beary Much print - Etsy
8) Vilac White Metal Car - Amazon
9) Hemnes 8 Drawer White Dresser - Ikea

If you'll remember from the post starting Bailey's big girl room {here}, she moved into "the pink room" and the nursery is going to be her old room which is currently (and will stay) a light grey.  This post {here} has horrible photos but shows what the grey looks like without as much hot pink bouncing off of it.  This is the exact color from Sherwin Williams called North Star (SW 6246) and it's in an eggshell finish.

Like I've been saying a lot lately, if you follow me on Instagram you'll know that I need some help picking out a crib.  We recently bought the Ikea Sundvik crib, however, after doing some research on assembly I came across some information about the base of the crib bowing in the middle over time and ain't nobody got time for that.  So we will be returning it and purchasing a different one from somewhere else.  If you didn't see or leave a comment on that post PLEASE leave your choice in the comments below because I am so stuck!  Here's that post :)

As you can tell, we are going for a rustic and vintage yet simplistic style.  While I really loved Bailey's super girly hot pink/white/silver nursery with lots of fancy touches, I wanted something manly without being dark and overly detailed this time around.

I hope you enjoyed this nursery inspiration post, and as always, thanks for stopping by!
