Carter Grant: Nursery Tour

When we found out we were pregnant, we had just moved into our new home. We did the longest move known to man since we were still selling our old home. I would stand in the soon to be nursery and just stare. And stare and stare.


I knew I would stick to gray and white (like a majority of our house) and decided that I would use emerald green regardless of gender. If it had been a girl I would have thrown another accent color in there to give it a bit more femininity, but lucky me, I get to keep my "Boy Mom" title.


Clean lines, modern yet classic was my goal. Loosely a safari theme.


The weekend before C came, I did debate a last minute change on the main wall, but I chickened out, but maybe someday a faux white washed brick wall will appear where the frames are now :)

Grayson Daniel: Big Boy Room

When it was time to upgrade G to his big boy bed, we did a revamp of his whole room. You can look back and see his nursery here. We kept a lot of the same elements, but moved the dresser and crib to Carter's room.

Before we knew the sex of this babe, I already knew that the nursery would mainly be grey and white with elephants. I'm obsessed yall. Cant help it. If it was a boy I would add navy and if a girl, I would add coral. The minute that we found out we were having a boy, my pinterest board exploded with nursery ideas. I knew I didnt want "baby" type elephants, so I was really picky and choosey on what we used.

I am such a planner, the main nursery was pretty much complete by early March. I was just filling in the details after that.

During our newborn lifestyle shoot with Stephanie Rose Photography, I asked her to snap some official pics of G's nursery.

This is definitely not a Stephanie Rose photo below... but I wanted to show off the closet. J worked so hard to make it so organized for me and exactly what I wanted!

I am so in love with how it turned out, and hopefully G will be able to grow into the theme as he gets older.... I mean, we could easily change it into a Dallas Cowboys theme... just sayin!
