You know this child belongs to me when this is the THIRD room he has inhabited within his first year of life… Hang on little guy, it’s going to be a wild ride with us as your parents!!! :)

All to say, if you missed Part I (the closet we welcomed him home to) or Part II (I LOVED this room!), you can catch up now…

When we moved, I immediately knew I wanted this room to be Westley’s. I loved the huge window and thought it would be a great space for him to play and enjoy, not just sleep. I also knew I wasn’t ready to transition him to a full-on big boy room yet, so I wanted to make use of much of what we had, while giving it an updated/slightly more mature feel. Enter in the primary colors - red, blue and yellow. It feels like a true toddler’s room.

How it came together…

I reused his crib, changing table, the mirror, rocker/glider and neon sign from Nursery 2.0; changing out the rug, curtains, wall art and toy storage and adding in the vintage table and chairs to give it a refreshed look.

I’ve had this massive canvas flag for years and I always envisioned using it in a space to create a Ralph Lauren-inspired vibe… This is far from the RL look I have in my mind, but I love how bold and eye-catching this flag is. It provides a great alternative to painting or wallpapering, which I didn’t have the bandwidth for when I was working on this space.

*By layering in some bold primary colors, I made the room feel more mature - instead of the light neutrals and baby blues of* *Nursery 2.0, perfect for an infant, this one feels better suited to a toddler.*

The table and chairs were gifted to us from my in-laws; I found the red lamp (sitting on the changing table) off Facebook Marketplace for $5 and gave it a fresh coat of paint.

I found the small white chest for toys off Facebook marketplace for $50 and the floating shelves new from Lowes and curtains from Amazon. Shop the full look below!

I tied in the grey velvet rocker glider by including grey in the sheets of the crib and changing table pad. The pops of white - found in the curtains, rug, stripes of the flag, pillow, blanket, changing mat - help lighten the grey and bridge the gap between the grey and primary colors.

I was initially hesitant about how the darker brown antique kids table would mesh with the white-washed crib and changing table/dresser, but thanks to our beloved oversized teddy bear Gerald, the brown feels balanced.

I brought in fresh leaves to give the space a natural feel, and positioned toys and books with complimentary primary color palettes front and center to tie in the chairs, flag and rug.
