Who says that gender-neutral has to beryllium boring?! This unsocial nursery is successful the colorful location of Rebekah and Jonah Poppen, Rebekah is really 1 of the stylists connected my team! Rebekah and Jonah brought their beauteous babe lad location a mates abbreviated weeks ago, but Rebekah started designing the nursery agelong earlier that. They some knew erstwhile they bought their 1950s cottage that the country attached to the superior chamber would marque for the cleanable nursery 1 day. Since moving in, this spare country has conscionable been utilized for other retention and their dog’s bedroom. They are excited to person the nursery conscionable disconnected of their chamber until their small 1 grows to beryllium astir 18 months and volition past determination into their impermanent chamber connected the main level of the home. The remainder of the location is filled with colour and signifier so, naturally, the nursery would beryllium nary objection to this and the plan was acceptable earlier they knew the enactment of their baby.
The prima of the nursery is decidedly the hand-painted stripes that are connected the walls and ceiling! Rebekah looked for a wallpaper that would beryllium the close colors and stripe thickness but conscionable decided that coating it herself would beryllium the champion enactment to get what she was looking for. Since the walls are curved, she painted each the stripes by manus utilizing a bully ole’ portion measurer, level, pencil, and tape.
*Her pro extremity is that erstwhile you person the basal painted and person added the tape, overgarment implicit the portion with the basal color, this volition guarantee you get crisp and cleanable lines. This task lone took a play and is simply a ace DIY-friendly project.
For the colour story, they wanted it to beryllium bold and gender-neutral, similar galore of us, Rebekah doesn’t emotion the “pink is for girls and bluish is for boys” stereotype. Instead, she selected colors that consciousness due for babe but are besides colors that she enjoys. The basal pick colour is Dimity by Farrow & Ball and is accompanied by Bamboozle by Farrow & Ball for the reddish stripes. I besides emotion however she paired the reddish and pick with an unexpected greenish trim, which is Green Smoke by Farrow & Ball. She besides painted the superior chamber to match, minus the stripes, to marque each country travel unneurotic but person a abstracted identity.
With the stripes arsenic a bold basal for the room, they wanted the remainder of the country to person playful and whimsical touches, inspired by blistery aerial balloons and leopards, a amusive operation that taps into a child’s imagination. One of their favourite elements is the handmade blistery aerial balloon mobile supra the crib, an astonishing Etsy find! Like me, Rebekah besides loves hunting for vintage pieces and going thrifting, truthful she had been collecting a fewer items implicit the years to person successful the nursery. This includes the brass blistery aerial balloon, leopard artwork, and adjacent the wood sculpture animals that you spot connected the bookcase.
Since the mates loves vintage things, determination are lone a fewer brand-new pieces successful the room. The crib is caller but nods to the antique Jenny Lind benignant (bonus! It tin besides beryllium made into a toddler bed). The leopard rug is different bold constituent successful the nursery, which perfectly complements the reddish stripes. All of the different furnishings is vintage oregon second-hand! Both parents are peculiarly fond of the dresser arsenic it was from Jonah’s grandma who passed distant this spring. The different vintage pieces see the bookcase (a $10 FBMP find!), the brass broadside table, and the gingham glider seat (another FBMP find for lone $75).
Layering texture successful the nursery done a agelong muslin furniture skirt for the crib, a wavy borderline peg rack, and a pleated partition lamp that would soften the linear lines. In addition, they besides wanted to bring successful wood tones to complement each of the paint, which truly gives the nursery a collected and cozy style.
