I.am.SO.EXCITED! I have had this in my head since last March as soon as I found out we were having a boy. Then we were supposed to move into our new house in May, but if you've been around long enough, I'm sure you have heard me complain about that whole thing, BUT we didn't move in until August (Adam came in July) <<You can see my dillema. Needless to say doing a whole nursery right after a c section just wasn't really in the cards. Then came the holidays and months went by. Now Adam is 7 months old and I am finally done! YAY! I have been sharing sneak peeks on Instagram so you might have caught those, but today you get to see all of it! This post is a lot of pictures, so prepare your self to scroll! At the end you can find the tutorials I shared while creating this little boy nursery! If you are looking for the full breakdown of cost and where I got everything from, you can see that here.
This Nursery was made on a pretty low budget!
If you would like to know where I purchased everything, and how much the total room cost, you can see it here. You won't believe how little I had to spend! : ) . For now though, you can see how I made some of the design elements!

This is so cute! We've been doing a travel theme for our little one, too (she's three now). We travel a lot and spend a lot of time living overseas so have been able to collect some cool stuff.

Beautiful!! I love the globes, clocks and colors. Love it all! You did a fabulous job!! Well worth the wait.
Katie
Thank you Crystal! : ) The globes are one of my favorite things! I got the big one from a friends garage sale for a few bucks.. but because of pinterest people charge the same amount for old ones as they do new ones :/ Hoping to get lucky this summer at garage sales because I would love a few more for my house!
Crystal
Beautiful!! I love the globes, clocks and colors. Love it all! You did a fabulous job!! Well worth the wait.

Shelley @ Calypso in the Country
The travel theme really caught my eye over at Not Just a Housewife party. I love how the room turned out and the travel theme will definitely grow with him. Boy rooms can be hard but you did a beautiful job. My son has the same gray and white chevron curtains too!

Where did you get the curtains??
Katie
Hi Alyssa, I actually made them : ) I just took fabric and hemmed the edges, then hot glued ribbon on the back to hang them on the rod, super easy : )

Paul Scoropan
I think it should be more colors in a child's room
Katie
Thanks for your opinion, however I happen to like neutral color : ) Would love to see any nursery you decorate... color isn't always a bad thing.

It was tough to choose a color! We finally came up with this one called “Aspen Glen” and, to be honest, at first I was worried. We put it on the walls and it looked like a highlighter exploded. Now I’m in love with the color. It’s perfect for the accents we chose.

Whoa — this nursery has so many fabulous details! I love it, LOTS Katie! Happy to feature you tomorrow and vote for you tonight!

Hello, This seems like such a stunning trip! I too would love to explore an organic farm, take cooking classes, walk on beautiful sunny hikes, enjoy delicious food and bask in the sun. I cannot wait for summer vacation to start already!

We went to Italy with our two teens last thanksgiving and this year headed to Ireland! Love traveling!!! We all have the travel bug. Want to build blog into biz so when kids are grown we can live in Europe spots for like a month out of year.
