Circles Nursery

The first thing we picked out was our bedding, the JJ Cole Blue Bullseye bedding set, which was bright, fun, and modern with its fun graphic circles and stripes. This set has the color palette of orange, light blue, chocolate brown and sage green and we pulled elements from the bedding to use throughout the room.

We used Home Depot's no-VOC Freshaire paint in light green, with white wainscotting around the room. Then, since I'm a graphic designer, I recreated the concentric circles from the bedding and turned them into large vinyl wall decals to go on the wall behind his crib and around the room.

The crib is Walmart's Baby Mod ParkLane 3-in-1 Convertible Crib in Espresso, which is the exact same crib as the Baby Miro Mercer crib for $100 less! The dresser, wall cabinet, and bookshelf came from IKEA. The wall shelves are from Lowe's.

We used our existing twin bed in the room, and my husband made custom banquette cushions from MDF, foam and blue microfiber fabric that surround the bed for a cozy place to cuddle. The rocking chair has been passed down through 3 generations in my family, and my dad made the rocking horse for me when I was a little girl, so now our son will be able to play with it too!

We purchased the orange curtains at IKEA and had a friend shorten our bed skirt (it was way too long) and the curtains, and use the extra fabric to trim the curtains, make a custom rocking chair cushion, and some extra pillows for the bed. We had the letters behind his crib custom-cut, and I hand-painted them to match the room. I also pulled the stripes from the bedding and added them to custom jungle animal artwork I designed and produced for a custom touch. The lamps were also from IKEA.
