Lauren's Simple and Elegant Nursery

Recently, Lauren wrote to me about an idea board for a boy's nursery:


Hi Lauren,

I'd love an idea board for a little boy's nursery. Our furniture will be purchased from Pottery Barn. We have a choice between espresso wood or white (which is really like an off white color).  My husband wants the espresso color but no final decision has been made. 

I think my problem is that I didn't want a "theme" per say so I am having trouble even getting started. Our style is simple, modern, elegant.  We like the silvers, grays, blues but we are open to any ideas/inspiration you have to offer - I love your taste!

Hope this helps! Can't wait to see your suggestions!

Lauren


Here's what I cooked up for Lauren's simple and elegant nursery:

 Thanks for giving me a chance to work on a nursery, Lauren - they're my favorite!

My Favorite Ornaments

We have kind of a nature thing going on with our tree. In metallics. Last year we mostly had copper, bronze, and gold ornaments:

But this year, we decided to add some silver to the mix with these gorgeous (and inexpensive) branch ornaments:

I purchased six, but now wish I would have bought more - they're so pretty! Unfortunately they're no longer available online and the closest Crate & Barrel is about a 45 minute drive for us. Sigh. Maybe next year?
