I told you I was inspired by the color palette of blue and gray with a splash of yellow from Max’s Naming Day and today I am delivering. This inspiration board is perfect for a baby boy or girl and this room has plenty of room for baby to grow.
The best part about a nursery like this one is that if you change the sheets and replace the elephant items, you’ve got a completely different nursery.
1. Curtains: It is nearly impossible to find striped yellow curtains! But you can make these yourself for minimal cost with this tutorial.
2. Crib: Oeuf Sparrow Crib in gray (Conversion Kit and Changing Tray sold separately)
3. Hanging lamp: Normann Copenhagen Norm 03 Lamp Shade
4. Fabric: Polka Dot Fabric for crib sheet made by following instructions from this Crib Sheet DIY. It’s super simple… I promise!

Love this! I am working on my nursery and using a gray/yellow combo with a slight elephant theme. I found the cutest yellow elephant fabric that I used for the window treatment. You can see the latest post on it at this link and then the nursery category has more…

Thanks Erin! I’m glad you like it. And I’m so curious to see how you’re nursery is turning out. I’m headed over to your blog right now… See you there :)
Those curtains absolutely rock! Voted for you over at The Bump! We’re nominated in the fashion category!
I love this! I’m don’t have a baby, I’m not pregnant, and I have no plans to try to get pregnant anytime soon but I do love to decorate and realized the other day that when I do have a baby I get to decorate a nursery (and sew all the nursery things). I googled “modern nursery” for some ideas and found your blog…. love love love…. whenever that day comes I’ll have so many (too many!) ideas! Thanks!
I love this elephant inspired nursery!! It looks totally adorable!! It’s amazing how you guys come up with so many excellent ideas! Keep it up!
