Westley’s Simple Eclectic Nursery
The nursery is complete! To tell you the truth, I’ve been done with all of my crazy nesting for a few weeks now, but I was patiently waiting on Westley’s painting to arrive so that the room could finally be finished. One important thing to note about my choice of decor is that every single thing in this room has meaning. Sure, the modern nursery art you see so much of these days is super cute, but I wanted everything to have a purpose and a story. So what do you think?
Crib: Baby Mod Olivia from Walmart. Baby Mod is known for their modern nursery furniture. I saw this one and fell in love.
Painting: Made just for Westley by John Sandy. John is a fantastic artist and an old friend of the family. You can email him at johnsandy1153@yahoo.com if you are interested in some art of your own.
Chair: Best Chairs. This chair swivels, rocks and reclines. It is so comfortable for both me and Drew, which is a big deal because he is so tall that the back height really mattered.
Bird Pillow: An awesome flea market find!
Owl Night Light: Lamps Plus. How cute is that? Of course the birds had to represent in this room. Unfortunately, this night light and the pricier one at Land of Nod is no longer available.
Lamp: Target
Guitars: Drew and I both own guitars and thought that they would be the perfect addition to our tiny man’s room.
Book “Table”: All antique hand-me-downs, mostly about birds and art. My favorites!
“Have Big Dreams” Art: Handmade for Westley by a dear friend.
“As You Wish” Embroidered Circle: My mom ordered this for Westley, as a little reminder of his namesake from The Princess Bride. It was ordered from Etsy, but I’m having trouble finding the link to the store right now.
Antique Buffet: This beautifully worn down piece of furniture once belonged to my great-grandmother. Although she’s no longer able to know the amazing man that I married or meet her newest great-great-grandchild, there is still a piece of her in this room. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Solar System Mobile: Handmade by us. Pinterest, and our love for all things nerdy, definitely inspired us here. I used this as inspiration and this as a guide for making the planets.
Bike Spokes Painting: Also by me. One of my absolute favorites.
Platter: This was a Christmas gift from my grandmother. I knew it would make the perfect addition to the nursery, as well as help keep the changing area organized.
There you have it! I love this space so much already. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve just gone in there, sat down, and imagined my life with a little baby boy in my arms.

I LOVE that painting! We are still working on our nursery… good thing she doesn’t actually sleep in there yet! Her early arrival threw me for a loop. Won’t be long before you are rocking your little one in that comfy chair!

Beautiful! I love the Olivia crib as well. What is the name and brand of the paint color you used? I am having a heck of at time finding “the perfect gray”.

Hi Candi! I honestly have no idea about the paint color, since this room was originally our home office. I can tell you that it is in the blue spectrum of the grays. Gray is a very tricky color. You have to watch out for gray with purple or green in it. Good luck!
