For girl nurseries I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Exactly. Incidentally, the same goes for names! We had not one but TWO girl names ready to go...boy names, not so much yet!
For a boy nursery I had no clue what I wanted to do. As I thumbed through sites and looked at bedding and pinterest boards I got to thinking...
Since this is a boy room, what does his Dad like that could maybe be carried into his son's room?
My husband is into Jeeps and Airplanes. Nearly every night as I am nodding off in bed, he is on his iPad watching youtube videos of airplane take-offs and landings. It's his thing. As I thought about this, I realized that is exactly what my guy and my new little guy are going to be doing together, rocking in a chair, late at night, watching those airplane videos.
From there, the airplane nursery idea took flight!
The theme of the nursery is more vintage aviation than say Disney planes. I wanted the room to have touches of 'baby', but not be overly colorful or cartoonish. I wanted calm, cool colors with a old timey feel.
Luckily there was plenty to choose from! I started buying the pieces (which are from stores like Restoration Hardware - Baby, Pottery Barn, Pier 1, Pilotmall.com and wayfair).
The items have started arriving one by one! We still need to pick out a crib and a rocker, but we're getting there! The absolute Pièce De Résistance is the crib sheet...a flying jack russell doggie pattern from Aiden & Anais...it adds a touch of puppy dog personalization and baby whimsy too perfectly accent Baby Boy B's nursery.
