brayden’s nursery – modern zoo {gray & teal}

i am finally taking the time to post about b’s nursery. from the moment i found out i was pregnant i knew the room would be gray it just depended on if it was going to be gray/yellow or gray/aqua. once we found out he was a he, i found michael miller’s zoology fabric and knew where the inspiration was headed. it just took us until a few weeks ago to finally (semi)finish his room because of being displaced, reorganizing and the biggest furniture painting fail, ever. bless my husbands heart. since it’s the second kid, and we’re cheap we decided we would re-finish my nieces crib and changing table and then my childhood dresser. the dresser and changing table were a breeze but the crib was a huge pain in the ass. my perfectionist of a husband was not happy with the finished product so we utilized the room for diaper changes and to place all of his clothing. it’s not like the newborn is actually sleeping in there anyhow, which you cannot tell a first time mom, but being the second time i was not worried at all. my deadline for the complete room was by four months when he is actually sleeping in there and we got there at two-and-a-half months. i do have to thank my mother-in-law for saving my husbands sanity by purchasing b a new crib for christmas. i am okay with how it turned out but we still need a new closet door. i am waiting for his six-month photos to place a large canvas print in that voided space in the photo below. and, i totally dislike having two doors in this room, but opening my garage door to do laundry is way out of the question. anyhow, it’s done for now, it’s functional which is all that truly matters. 

the lamp shade will change, it was in p’s nursery which doesn’t match any longer but i cannot part with it because i love it too much. we will eventually add a small tv. 

p’s elephant passed on to her brother that was given by auntie. 

the center artwork was a gift from janelle. not sure of the vendor but i love it.
