James Lucas' Puppy inspired Nursery!!!

When I found out we were going to be having a second son I knew I wanted his room to be “ ALL BOY”. The thought “ Snips and Snails and Puppy dog tails" instantly came to mind and I set out on Pinterest to find how I could make my vision a reality.

 I knew I would use Jax’s nursery furniture which is the Larkin Set from Pottery Barn Kids. We ended up switching Jaxie into a different set of furniture ( Austen Set) and created a “ big boy” space for him

The puppy prints are from a designer I found when I was pregnant with Jax. The shop is called Tiny Toes Design and she can custom create ANY artwork you desire. Her shop is already filled with plenty of hand crafted pieces but you can request a specific design if you have something in mind. I wanted a “recreation” of our family Labs to have in his nursery since they are such a special part of our family.

I love the color Navy for boys...it is truly one of my favorite colors and tones to decorate with. To me, it really “speaks” boy and I knew I wanted both boys rooms to coordinate in some way so I started with my base color and threw in a pop of green and grey for something different then Jaxies room.

I decided on clean and simple bedding from pottery barn. I remembered with Jax we never bothered with the bumpers so I didn’t purchase those this time around. I opted for the sweet puppy dog sheet HERE  and the coordinating Belgian Flax Bedding found HERE Also the crib rail we used instead of a bumper is from Liz and Roo which showcases DARLING baby nursery bedrooms!!!!

After I purchased the bedding I set out on Etsy to find some puppy decor. I did not want his room to be over kill with puppy dogs so I decided on three elements to place the puppies in and stuck with that ( bedding sheet, artwork, and a throw blanket) so basically just little pops of puppies to make the space very boyish.

Both the snips and snails sign ( above) and the name lettering above his crib are from an Etsy shop. I cannot recommend The Rugged Pearl enough when it comes to personalizing name letters for a nursery! She made my dreams become a reality when I literally sent her a few swatches of fabric that I was wanting for the nursery. She is very specific with her pattern choices and truly made the letters flow. They look gorgeous in his room and I just love it!

One of my very sweet and talented friends’ mamas made both my boys a custom quilt to match their bedroom decor. Of course I had to have it monogrammed and the quilt fabric matches the letters above his crib!!!! This hangs on his rocker in the corner of his room and adds the perfect pop of green to complement his nursery!

I cannot wait to bring my sweet boy home into this space and enjoy it with him!!!
