Austin’s Around-the-World Nursery

Austin’s Around-the-World Nursery
January 14, 2017 Katie Theuer

Travel has always been a passion for Ryan and me. Before we even knew our baby’s gender, I had imagined an “Around the World” themed nursery. I hope Austin grows up with the same wanderlust that Ryan and I have. I hope she gets to see even more places and discover more things. I wanted her nursery to be a peaceful and relaxing space that tied in this travel theme.

The best part of Austin’s nursery is her crib built by her daddy. I was a little reluctant when Ryan first told me he was considering building her crib. It seemed like a HUGE undertaking and all the safety concerns made me so nervous! (If you didn’t know, I am total freak about SIDS!) Ryan did countless hours of research and spent so much time drafting the plans and carefully constructing the MOST GORGEOUS crib. I mean.. that man is something else. Ryan and I picked out the wood that was all cut in North Alabama (he used Cherry) and we painted it together in our garage. This will be an item that stays in our family for years to come and will forever be so special to us. I love it.

I REALLY wanted a print for above her crib that said “He’s got the whole world in his hands.” Frances with Ledgewood Fine Stationery designed it with the same flowers that were used for my baby shower paper designs. I loved tying that in to her nursery! So special.

We repainted and switched out the knobs on my childhood dresser that I got from my parents. I think it works perfectly as her dresser/changing table.

I am obsessed with these prints by Rifle Paper Company and actually purchased the calendar off Ebay to get the designs I wanted and then cut them out and framed and matted them. I was really happy with the overall look.

We are really happy with how Austin’s nursery turned out. I hope she grows to love it too!
