Beachy Nursery



I have a baby boy on the way and have considered many nursery ideas, this being one of them.  My husband is in the Coast Guard, so there is no question that we will always live near the coast...I thought this would be perfect!  I chose an aged white color for the crib and would stick to the blues for bedding.  The shell mirror and blue lamp add a bit of grown-up elegance to the space while the turtle stool,  bookends, and hanging fish give more of a playful vibe.  I found the adorable beach inspired artwork on Pinterest and have given you the link to the corresponding Etsy page to make a purchase.  This could also be a fun DIY with scrapbook paper for the backing and a stamp or stencil for the print.  One of the smartest things about this nursery is the indoor/outdoor striped rug.  The pattern and color are classic and easily fit into the room, AND you can simply rinse it off- perfect for a nursery where the conversation: "What's that stain on the rug?", "Who knows!" is heard often!  The canvas baskets are a must-have...after all, you can never have too much storage!  The point to remember here is that you don't have to only shop at baby/children's stores for your nursery- you are allowed to put grown-up things in there too!

Do you have one of these items and love it?  Or maybe you have another great idea for a beach-inspired nursery?? Leave me your thoughts below!
