Down, set, decorate a nursery!

We are in full swing planning our little man's sports themed nursery. Here is the mood board of design and decor thoughts for the room: 


1. Paint: We will be doing a paint design similar to this on the main wall behind the crib. We started painting over the weekend. We're doing a blue that is a little darker than a baby blue. It is called Little Pond by Behr (see picture below as well). The room will have beige and navy blue accents. Curtains, not pictured, will be navy from Pottery Barn Kids. 

2. Chair - We got a beige super comfy gliding chair, not specifically this one, but just gives you an idea. 

3. Locker Room! This is the major inspiration for the room. I'm looking for a locker end table, like the one picture, so keep your eyes peeled if you see anything. I saw something similar at Home Goods a few months ago, but didn't buy since obviously I didn't know if we were having a boy yet. Now that we know we are having a boy, I am kicking myself for not buying it when I saw it, and now find myself going to Home Goods at least 1-2 times a week. We are definitely doing the cubby wall shelf like the one in the picture  and are looking at different places to buy one. We're looking for one made of real wood. We will hang his little jersey(s) and fun sports apparel from the hooks. 

4. Name decal: We ordered this name decal for above the crib. But, of course, with his name. 

5. Crib and dresser. This is the set we recently got and are super excited to see it all put together. 

6. Golden Dog Club: I saw this on Etsy and LOVE IT!! Have to have it. Obviously, we would want this in a Washington team, and the seller said, just name the team and they will do it. Go Nats!

7. Skins Jersey: Also saw this on Etsy and think it is super cute. Again, the seller can do it in any team, so we would want this one to say "Skins jersey."

8. Football Lamp: Love this lamp to add to our sports themed room. Plan to put it on the end table or dresser, and it will great to have in his room as he gets older. UPDATE: Found this steal at Home Goods and bought it. Lamp, check! 

9. Sports Prints: Looking for sports prints similar to these which I would frame and hang above the dresser.

10. Locker Bins:Love these locker bins. I plan on getting two or so of these to use for storage on the shelf. 

11. Sports Mobile: We registered for this crib mobile at BabiesRUs

Here's where we are so far:

1. We already had a ceiling fan installed in the room but it did not have a light fixture, so we added one. I also got these cute little football and basketball ornaments to hang for the light/fan controls. 


2. We did one coat of paint this weekend and will do more painting over the labor day weekend. 

3. We have our crib, dresser and glider thanks to both of our wonderful parents. (Thank you!) We will post the real-deal pictures when everything is loaded into the room.
