Stone’s Gender Neutral Grey and Yellow Nursery Revealed

I am so excited to share baby “Stone’s” gender neutral grey and yellow nursery with you today!

Seriously?! How beautiful is this space?!

I am truly so so lucky to have a friend who allows me to send her umpteen pictures of things I think she needs, pick up yellow pedestal tables cities away and trusts my “vision”, entertains my idea for a DIY spoon mirror and most importantly lets me photograph this very special space and plaster it all over the internet!

The “theme” in this room is elephants.  The accents are subtle but as you can see my love of ceramic animals has already found it’s way into baby “Stone’s” nursery {thank goodness for friends with similar taste and babies who don’t get a say}

The mama-to-be knew she wanted a gallery wall and I love love love how it turned out.  That amazing “W” is an easy find and the frames a combination of Ikea and Homesense.

I am proud to say that my DIY habits seem to have rubbed off as the mama-to-be whipped up this print on her own. I just love DIY and the $$ it saves!

The glider was a find many-many months ago at a Homesense out of town.  Sadly we were travelling in a small car that day so she had to make the 45minute trek back the following day to pick it up.  It is probably the most comfortable piece of furniture I have ever rested my tush in!  Mama & Daddy are going to enjoy some amazing moments in that glider!

Baby “Stone” is lucky to have a very talented Grandma who whipped up so many amazing things for this sweet baby, that afghan on the back of the chair is just one of her many beautiful creations!! I am enlisting her for all future baby shower gifts!!!

The knit pouf ottoman is from Urban Barn and really does a great job pulling together the “natural” elements in the room!

How adorable is this elephant head {ceramic taxidermy is my favourite}!!!!!!

“W” is the first letter of their last name so when I saw this fantastic basket at Homesense for under $20, you can bet I was taking pictures to send to momma-to-be who was there that afternoon to scoop it up! It will be great to collect baby’s toys!!!

The infamous spoon mirror almost didn’t make the cut, but I think it adds just the right pop for that wall!

When I spotted this yellow pedestal table while I was 2 hours away, I knew that it may just have to make the trip back to Peterborough.  Lucky for me my awesome friend saw what I saw and thought it would be great for the space.  I just adore the pop of colour it adds and it will transition well as baby grows up!!

See those adorable knit booties?! Knit with love by baby’s amazing grandma, I am still hoping she will make a few grown up sized pairs!  The elephant bookends were a find at the same time as the yellow pedestal table {I really need to stop shopping for others, I am so lucky she lets me}!

How much do you love those quatrefoil sheers?  Under $20 for two panels at Homesense on clearance, what a find!!!!

After a little bit of a lamp mishap, a thrifted find stepped in as a replacement and with a coat of spray paint I think it looks just as good as its $50 brother {may it rest in peace}

There is nothing I love more than finding a great piece at Homesense for a great deal and then seeing it in a design magazine or high end home store only days later!  This hamper was one of this things and I just love how it ties in with the natural elements of the room.

The super plush shag carpet is going to be one of baby’s favourite spots.  It has already proven to be canine big brother Jack’s favourite place in the nursery as well!

The ikea dresser offers a great amount of space to hold all baby’s things and will continue to grow with baby for years to come!

It is truly a beautiful and calming space fit for the little prince or princess who will be arriving any day now!!

Yellow and Grey Gender Neutral Baby Shower

When it came to baby “Stone’s” shower, it only made sense to transfer the grey and yellow theme from the nursery to the shower.  I was happy to assist the mama-to-be’s sister in planning and prepping and DIYing in preparation for the surprise shower! It was so much fun combining the modern and natural elements to create what I believe was a pretty chic event!

Baby Stone’s Gender Neutral Grey and Yellow Nursery – Inspiration Boards

One of my dearest friends is due in just about 10 days and I am SO excited for “Stone’s” arrival!  With that in mind, I am making this week at Simply Style all about baby!!! It’s a bit of a change of scenery here at Simply Style but trust me, that this weeks posts will be design inspired nonetheless!!

I am pretty lucky, for some reason the mama-to-be allows me force my design ideas on her and has graciously allowed me to be involved to some extent in the design process of baby “Stone’s” nursery.

Waaaaay back in May when I first found out she was expecting I was so excited that I created a few inspiration boards for the future nursery.  They knew they wouldn’t be finding out the gender and therefore wanted to go with a grey and yellow, gender-neutral theme in the nursery.  With that in mind here are a two inspiration boards I mixed up.

Well fast forward 9+ months, “Stone” is almost here and the nursery is finished and I cannot wait to share the finished product with you later this week, so stay tuned!!!!
