Huxley’s Nursery

I am thrilled to share this gorgeous nursery with you today. It belongs to sweet baby Huxley…

He just turned one month old and to celebrate wants to share his special room with you… courtesy of his mom and dad, our friends, Adam and Shauna. So, without further ado…

FANTASTIC, right?! Let’s take a closer look…

Shauna made that no sew bunting herself with fun fabric and brown felt.

She also handmade the paper airplane mobile.

Obviously, a signature spot in the room is the chair with a pillow with Huxley’s initials.

Shauna already had this Ikea chair and was hoping to find a rocker, but has not found one yet – so it’s a place holder. But it fits in really nicely! The pillow was an incredible find at Goodwill! (Can you believe it?!) Shauna glued on the monogram. Adam and Shauna painted the table their chosen accent color for the room, a bright yellow/orange. It’s similar to the accent color in our nursery, so obviously, I LOVE IT.

Shauna added just the right amount of “pops” of this color. It’s not overwhelming, but there’s enough that you pick up on the theme. I love how the color flanks the changing table area…

Can we talk about the dresser?! It’s a simple Ikea dresser that Adam and Shauna dressed up with simple thumbtacks to tie in the chevron theme…

Brilliant, no? I love that concept.

Speaking of chevron, let’s take another look at that signature wall.

That’s where the room got me. It got me at chevron. I just love it. (Shauna shares the tutorial that helped her pull it off below…)

The art hanging there is all from Eric Carle…

It’s throughout the nursery and really brings the eclectic theme together. They took that concept to the next level by adding some animal accents throughout the nursery, bringing those prints to life.

Can you all agree with me? This room is nothing short of AMAZING, right?

Huxley, how much do you love your room?

“I love it THIS MUCH!”

Adorable.

Love this space as much as I do? Want to replicate the whole darn thing? Or maybe parts of it? Well, you’re in luck… Shauna put together this exhaustive list of everything in the nursery, including paint colors. As you’ll see, it’s all very thrifty and affordable… making something great EVEN BETTER!
