Boy's nursery

Good morning! Isn't this a lovely framing idea for a nursery--or any room really? You could keep things cheap by cutting pages from an old book and using white IKEA frames. This nursery belongs to the lucky son of Jennifer Chused, one of the head designers at Dwell Studio. (See more of the gorgeous Manhattan apartment here.)

  3. What a cool room! I love the framed photos!

  4. loved this too - the framed airplane prints are so awesome.

  5. Very awesome room - I've found that calendars have the best framable pictures to use for ideas like this. They're cheap and easy and you don't waste nearly as much paper as cutting out images from a book (plus you can still use the calendar part)!

  6. I saw this on Little Green Notebook and loved it. My daugher and son will have to share a nursery when he arrives until the renovations on our house are done - Anybody have ideas for a mixed-gender nursery?

  7. Totally perfect. Love. We did something similar for our nephew's nursery with art by Matt Stephens. Highly recommend! http://matteart.blogspot.com/

  9. what a fabulous room...and i adore that pale blue that doesn't scream 'boy's room.'

  14. So cute! And I love the orange chair in the corner. Imagine what her whole house must look like?

  15. I love that! It is simple and graphic enough that it could really grow with your little man, I really cannot wait to see what you will do with your new little friends room!

  17. Love this idea...very simple but charming too!

  18. Whoa, it's so strange to come to your blog and see my old boss! Her apartment is ah-maaaazing.

    ReplyDelete

  19. lovely--so sweet without screaming boys room!

    ReplyDelete

  20. Lovely! I'm saving this for "someday".
    I so appreciate nurseries that aren't too baby themed, this will transform into a big kid room and beyond with very few changes. And really, could be a little girl's room as well, a couple of Amelia Earhart prints and it would take on a very reach for the skies little girl vibe.

  21. sorry for the delay - congratulations on the the baby boy news!

    ReplyDelete

  23. I could live in that room too!

    ReplyDelete

  24. ooh, Amelia Earhart is an awesome idea for a girl's room. and kate, so funny that jennifer is your old boss!

    ReplyDelete

  25. samantha, cutting up an old calendar for this type of thing is an AWESOME idea.

    ReplyDelete

  26. What a great idea. My sisters and I do a similar thing with our nearly non-existent decor budget. We go to thrift stores and buy old children's books that just aren't getting enough love and repurpose them into artwork :)

    It makes it extra special, because sometimes you'll find a book that you know was loved... with crayon scribbles from the previous owners or stickers stuck randomly to pages.

  27. Love those airplanes. I am excited to see what you come up with for yours!

    ReplyDelete

  28. Exciting! The entire apartment is beautiful.

    ReplyDelete

  34. Great idea! Adding this to my collection of sources.

    ReplyDelete

  35. that is such a cute idea! I love it because it's not too baby-ish. It's still fun and young at heart, but sophisticated at the same time. Adorable!

  36. I just finished going through a stack of Martha Stewart mags that I hadn't read yet, so I just read about this apartment last night. LOVE. Total love. I think this whole apartment is just a perfect mix of vintage, traditional, modern, whimsy, and glam. So gorgeous!

  47. so cute! I also hung up all the beautiful cards I received from my baby shower. I love frames, but I became neurotic with baby and was afraid they would fall on the baby's head. (earthquakes in CA) Crazy mama.

  51. Those frames ARE a great idea. Before Alice was born, I bought this beautiful set of number cards by Eeboo but could never figure out how I wanted to display them. She's 18 months old now, and I guess it's better late than never! Definitely picking up those frames on my next Ikea trip. Thanks!

  52. Very nice - it also looks like the kind of room that would transition to a toddler's room easily.

    I saw some really beautiful kids' rooms on the Urban Grace blog yesterday: http://blog.urbangrace.com/?p=1303

    And one nursery I really loved: http://pumpkinsandfairydust.blogspot.com/2009/12/more-beautiful-nursery-pictures.html

  60. Ah! This is great. I didn't even think...I've done a boy's nursery. Actually, I've done two. I'll e-mail you pics: one was for twin boys who live in a very mid-century home in Jackson, Ms., and the other was for a little boy in New Orleans. Both very different...one I did in old, french train posters (the one in Nola) I bought on Ebay, and the more contemporary one I used color and folk art. I'll send pics when I get back to office. I LOVE nurseries!

  61. I LOVE this nursery! I did the same thing with our little boy's nursery last year, and used pictures from one of my favorite childhood books Sylvester and The Magic Pebble.
