Yellow & Teal Geometric Nursery

Full of DIY projects and color, this geometric nursery has quickly become one of our favorites! It’s perfect for the adventure seeking little boy. Mom, Brittany, both designed & captured her son’s space in such a fun & creative way (she’s the photographer behind the lens at Reality & Retrospect). Hear from her on how it came about…

It took me a while to figure out what direction I wanted to go with my son’s nursery. When I first got pregnant I assumed I was having a girl, and started buying lots of things for the nursery pretending they were gender neutral. This included a vintage pink chair, the elephant head that is on the wall, and a neon colored piece of art. Once I found out it was a boy I realized that everything I had wouldn’t really work. Finally when I was about 7 months pregnant I got my act together and figured out what I wanted. I loved the cribs with colored slats, but didn’t want to pay close to $1000 for one. I got an IKEA crib and hand painted the slats (which was a 3 day nightmare but so worth it:). Then I decided to do a color blocked wall and included copper accents with the hanging clothes rack and the curtain rods. I didn’t love any of the typical mobiles so I used some Bright Lab Lights with a copper arm that I made. For the changing table I used lockers that were in my husband’s grandpa’s garage filled with sawdust and bullets. We topped it with an IKEA desk top and changing pad. I recently updated the room with the Rugs USA rug which is so soft. I added a little table and chair for Jay to play at. I switched out the shelf decor with some Minted artwork.
