I'm super excited to share Ian's nursery with you all today! I was looking back at the inspiration board that I posted back in April, and I think we stayed pretty true to it. We partnered with Hayneedle.com for most of the big items, choosing classic, neutral pieces that will last for many years and future kids. Then we brought in color and whimsy with toys, textiles and art. We wanted Ian's room to have elements of nature throughout it, without getting into the cheesy theme territory. To accomplish that, we incorporated outdoorsy art, woodland animals, a wood stump side table, and lots of stars. I really like how it all turned out!
Ian's room is pretty small (it's our former "guest room"), so I looked for attractive storage solutions, like this toy storage tower with canvas baskets, a cute laundry hamper, and a bookshelf shaped like a tree. I also put his dresser in the closet, since his clothes are so short anyways. It's a good way to save space in a small room.
For art, we fell in love with these sweet prints from Minted. We picked nature-inspired pieces that weren't too babyish, so they can grow with Ian.
One of the big items I really wanted was a comfy glider or rocking chair...but I had the hardest time finding one that was comfortable and stylish and reasonably priced. Finally I found this chair, which fit the bill perfectly. It's been getting lots of use already--we love it! We purposely picked a simple, modern design that we can move to the living room in the future. A few of my other favorite things in this picture: the wood stump side table, Ian's crib, and the moon and stars mobile. I love that all of them are beautiful, modern, and gender-neutral...so hopefully we can get lots of use out of them!
We haven't used most of the items above yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing Ian hanging out in his swing, playing with those toys, and wearing his little baby booties! It's going to be fun to see him start interacting more with everything in his room.
For now, we love to just watch him sleep and move around. He is such a cutie!
I've included links to most items below, in case you'd like to shop the same pieces.

The nursery is so cute!!! I love so many of the elements. First of all, the sheets are adorable. The book shelf is cute and functional AND the beads are a cute little add-on. OH YEAH, and the pictures...I love the bear pictures. Good job momma!
Yay! Thanks for noticing all those little details. :) I think those bear pictures are so sweet, too. They were one of the first things I picked out. And I love the little felt bead garland as well!
It's lovely! I love that tree bookshelf. I can see it filled with whatever he is imagining as he plays. A perfect functional shelf yet with so much potential to play. :)!
The tree bookshelf is one of my favorite parts of the room too! Glad you like it as well :)
Ian's room is adorable... and so is he! Don't you just love all those little clothes hanging in the closet? Seeing my baby's little outfits on their little hangers is my favorite. Congratulations!!
