Classic Modern Boy Nursery | Featured Real Room

full room bensnursery

I’m so excited to share with you this lovely and modern boy nursery designed by Adriane, of the a & b stories — it’s uncluttered, bright and cozy! “Our house is designed around cool neutral tones and we wanted this room to flow with the rest of the rooms. Having never been a big fan of overly themed rooms, we tried to keep it classic but still cute. Most importantly, we think this room will really grow with our boy for years to come.”

Describe your decorating style: I would say we lean towards modern classic design. Our house is a palette of greys, whites and blacks, and this soft blue-grey room is a welcome addition.

What was your inspiration for the room? We had an idea of how we wanted it to look, but I must say the whole design really came together when we discovered ‘A Vintage Poster’ and ordered the print set above the crib. They became the focal point, and the rest just fell into place!

Favorite items in the room:
The prints above crib, the crib, and mobile our among our favorites. They really give the room the feel we were looking for.

Any advice to share with expectant moms  designing a nursery?
You don’t have to spend a fortune to get a great room! We purchased mostly non-nursery furniture and that saved us a LOT. And the artwork was all very affordable!

Laila Ali’s Celebrity Nursery | Pink and Green Traditional Girly Chic

Laila Ali Celebrity Nursery

I have a confession. And let’s try to keep this just between us, ok?

Here goes… I’m not a fan of most celebrity nurseries.

Phew! Feels good to get that off my chest.

However, there are always exceptions like Tiffani Thiessen’s nursery and Tori Spelling’s nurseries for her son Liam and daughter Stella. And now I can add Laila Ali to that very short list of celebrity nurseries that I love.

Celebrity Nursery Laila Ali

Laila Ali worked with the uber-talented duo, Naomi Alon and Gerri Panebianco, of Little Crown Interiors to design a custom dream nursery for her little baby girl, Sydney. And they did a FANTASTIC job!

Some of my FAVORITE design features in the room include:

– The color palette. Pink and green make a great color combo. Through in a muted blue/gray and you’ve got yourself the perfect trio!

– The silver wall decals that add architecture to the room.

– The “Hope” Crib and Changing Table. Made in a gorgeous shade of pink, this crib is the combined effort of Little Crown Interiors and Newport Cottages, a luxury furniture maker. Proceeds from the sale of every “Hope” Crib go to Breast Cancer Research and the piece serves as a symbol of courage and compassion.

– The custom crib bedding. Love Bird Damask is my favorite fabric from Carousel Designs and I was so happy to see it in this nursery.
