One Room Challenge Week 1

It’s that time again, One Room Challenge time! This is our second time participating in this incredible event. The first time we took on our Laundry Room Makeover. If you are unfamiliar with this challenge it is where a bunch of amazingly talented bloggers get together & take on renovating an entire room in 6 weeks! The challenge is sponsored by Better Homes & Gardens & a great way to connect with other bloggers for some fabulous room inspiration, so be sure to check them all out with the link above!

Baby Eli Nursery Design

Y’all this may be my favorite project to date & I can’t wait to get started! As soon as we found out we were having a boy my head has been swimming with nursery ideas & also chocolate cake because you know, pregnancy.

I have a long list of To Do’s for this room & I can’t wait to get started. Right now the room is used as a spare bedroom & absolutely nothing has been done to it because we knew this would be our future nursery. It is a blank canvas ready to be created. We are going to go with a nautical theme for the room, an old ship my papa had & loved was my inspiration. Our plan is to have that ship as the focal point for the room & it will be a great way to display a memory of him. We have already chosen Sherwin Williams Splendor Blue as the wall color, with Oxford White for the board & batten. I love the idea of gray accent colors but I’m not sure which gray is the right gray yet. Our budget for the project is $2000 including furniture.

Heres my list of projects that need to completed before D day (see what I did there?)

• –Build shelving for closet & add faux wallpaper DONE!
• -Install laminate flooring
• -Tall board & batten
• -Paint
• -Makeover buffet into a changing table
• -Nautical art
• -Buy nursery furniture

Of course, with any project, I like to start with some Pinterest inspiration & here are some finds I love:

So those are my inspiration photos for this baby room project & I can’t wait to see how we put our own spin on it all. I know we are both super excited for baby Eli to get here but we have plenty to keep us busy until he arrives!

What are some of your favorite nursery themes & items?
