Please help with my son's nursery.

I've decided I'd like an "Up and away" themed nurser and would love to get your recommendations on furniture color and placement as well as crib bedding. And any other decor recommendations you may have. Here are photos of the empty room along with 3 prints that I bought. Thanks so much in advance!

    What a cute idea!
    Maybe an engineering sketch of an early plane, sort of like this

    I'd put the crib on the wall left of the window and a dresser turned changing table on the opposite wall. I'll post some bedding in a bit. Can you change the wall color?

    I love all of your suggestions. I was hoping to avoid painting the walls but am open to your suggestions. I love grey!! I was hoping to find grey bedding.

    Do you think these prints should be hung over the crib?

    I would definitely suggest putting the 3 art prints above the crib. Bets of luck with your project!

    My first picture shows 3 prints over the bed. Perfect place for them. You'll see them every time you get your baby!

    Love it, Mia! :) I'll definitely place over the crib

    You don't have to paint, just pick your accent colors. Or you could just paint crib wall if you get that nesting instinct surge at the end! Best of everything to you and yours.

    Have you thought of paper lanterns?
    Also a cute baby shower idea, to have guests sign by fingerprint...

    There are so many grey choices available right now. Here are a few I found. One has the chevron pattern as shown in your art! Good luck with your new little one! --Jen

    er612, thanks so much for putting that together. I think I am either leaning toward white furniture with grey bedding.

    Jessica, looks like fun and I'm sure you'll end up with a terrific result. I've got 4 little guys of my own, 2 of which are now 30! But that's my point...consider elements that can "grow" as your child grows, e.g., a changing table station that can become a dresser and/or toy organizer later on as your little person grows and needs evolve. Very best of luck! Mark

    BTW...If you appreciated my commentary or if you think I might be of additional help to you simply click on my link the the left and then click FOLLOW or leave a positive REVIEW. All is appreciated. Regards.

    I found the cribs on Overstock but they're also available on Wayfair, which I know ships to Canada. Dressers are from IKEA.

    I would recommend not going with white furniture (other than a crib), as a boy will quickly outgrow white. Also, I would purchase second hand (and paint them) that are solid and will hold up for years and select pieces that can work for changing needs. For instance piece below can be a change table and later a dresser or side table. I would also consider a low bookcase that can be used for storage and later toys/books. Place crib on one long wall and bookcase in the niche next to window and place your chair (and a small table) under the window - there will be many nights you will be looking at the stars.lol. On opposite wall to crib, your change table/dresser. Decals over crib is safer and you could add the art over the change table instead. Having a closet organizer for their small stuff also really helps. There will be many special moments in this room...all the best.

    So cut and looks like you are having a boy. To compliment the zigzag n the prints I would paint maybe the crib wall with horizontal soft gray and cream stripes for interest and be sure to add some clouds to the ceiling. Have some matching fabric made at spoonflower in the balloon print for a cornice above the window and maybe a pillow on the rocker. Any stain furniture you like will work but I prefer the crispness of white on the dresser/changing table, crib and rocker frame. Pops of orange and blue will add contrast that will help the baby focus and maybe stencil the words "up, up and away" above the window. anything goes in a nursery as long as it is clean and safe so you can spring for expensive chest/dresser that will grow with the baby into young teen years or keep the budget low and use items that will be replaced when you re-decorate in a few years. Congrats and have fun!

    Love the theme! Have you seen our Elephant crib? It is playful and comes in white or grey.
