Finished Grey and White Nursery

To finalize the nursery, I had my client pick out a new light fixture. She wanted to give the nursery a more modern feel and went with this light fixture from Ikea.

 

Next we went with a fun rocking chair, ottoman, and side table. 

 

I love the Grey Pouf!! It adds a great texture to the space and is very kid friendly. The Blue Accent Table adds just the right pop of color. The Grey and White Gingham pillow softens the Rocking Chair and is from Ikea, as well as the Tree and Woven Basket.

For additional lighting we picked out the Fisherman's Lamp. This darling lamp also has a switch that you turn on by pressing it with your foot, very convenient if your arms are full .

Some additional accessories to add to the Elephant theme around the room include this darling Elephant Rocker....

 

This to die for Flying Elephant Mobile...(they have wings)

 

Felt Elephant diaper and wipe holder...

Wire Elephant and DIY Initial made in this post....

 and last but not least my inspiration, a Papier-Mâché Elephant Head from Restoration Hardware Baby....

I also added a touch of  DIY!! I made flash cards that looked like they came from Restoration Hardware Baby to the side of the Elephant head. I simply created the flashcards on my computer, had them printed at Costco and framed them with IKEA frames. I also made a reclaimed wood sign with the saying "Never Grow UP".

Here is another look at the finished space...

(Elephant themed) Grey and White Nursery continued...

My inspiration for the nursery started with this Papier-Mâché Elephant Head from Restoration Hardware Baby. It goes right along with the Grey and White theme of the nursery.  I love that this is something that can grow with this child, and doesn't scream BABY!! I included this picture on one of the design boards for my client, and she loved it right away.

 

Once we had a theme and a color scheme, I wanted to start with grounding the space with a large area rug. After looking at the design boards, my client really liked the graphic designed rugs. I  found a few great choices for her to choose from.

 

She chose the first one, (YAY I loved the stripes).

Next we looked at curtains. Here were the choices.

She ended up going with the first choice, the grey and white stripe with the polka dots. I was a little nervous ordering from this company, because I hadn't had any previous experience with them. The company is called Carousel Designs.  They make darling custom nursery bedding and accessories. I first ordered a swatch of the curtain fabric to make sure the colors were what we wanted. They were perfect, so we went for it. They do take a bit longer to ship because everything is made to order, but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality.

 

Next came the glorious bedding.  I offered my client a couple of choices, but once I found the Taylor Bedding set that featured cute little elephants in white and grey, I knew we'd struck gold, she thought so too!! Seriously could this be any more perfect?

 

 

On Friday I'll show you how we brought the nursery together and add color to this grey and white color scheme with a few key accessories and all also reveal the completed space.
