Baby Strager's Nursery Reveal

Happy one month birthday to my little man! It's hard to believe that we officially brought Jaxson home from the hospital one month ago. It is also hard to believe how much he's grown, especially after our breastfeeding mishaps early on, but that's a blog for another day.  

Although Jax hasn't spent much time in his nursery yet, (other than tummy time) it is ready for when he makes the transition from the bassinet in our room to his own crib. After redesigning this room twice due to covid-19 delivery delays, I think this space came out beautifully and I wanted to share all the details with you. 

After our contractor constructed the Wainscoting molding on the accent wall and painted the room, I went to town on my blank canvas. Using Cashton's black and white hand me down crib, I build the room around the idea of a classic (not cheesy) giraffe/safari themed.  I collected my furniture and decor pieces from various places including Pottery Barn Kids, Amazon, Target, Ballard Design, Shades of Light, Wayfair, Etsy and more! 

I have linked all the shoppable photos below and know you will love the look and quality of everything you order! Enjoy!

Baby Strager's Nursery Design

Well, I think we can all agree that this quarantine hasn't been easy for anyone! Being pregnant and cooped up in the house has been a challenge but not nearly as big of a challenge as putting together a nursery for the new baby. 

You see, I had this idea in my head that baby #2's nursery would have a safari theme, complete with giraffes and lots of jute/rattan materials. Well that idea quickly went out the window when I realize a lot of the textures I was looking for are manufactured in other countries and right now the import service isn't exactly working like clock work. 

All of the woven pieces I was looking for are on back order until at least July 31 (and that was BEST case scenario). After weeks of racking my brain on whether of not I was going to wait it out, I decided against the whole thing. If you have children you know that if it doesn't get done by the time the baby gets here, good luck! There are just not enough hours in the day. Plus, our little one is due to make his debut June 12th. 

So, back to the drawing board I went. I had to figure out a new game plan that would work with the pieces I had already ordered. I ended up being able to keep the giraffe idea but incorporating a modern elegance feel to the room. By swapping out my grass pieces for gold I was able to create a soft relaxing mood that I think might even work better than my original plan, but we shall see. 

We are still in the planning stages but all of our pieces have been ordered and construction on the wall molding starts today.
