Being a Florida girl I knew I wanted some sort of nautical feel for E's nursery. We decided on sailboats from PB Kids, but then had the hardest time trying to decide what to do with the walls. I am NOT a fan of wallpaper and don't like things 'matchy-matchy'. We played off the waves in the nursery set and painted them onto the walls. The crib was reused from my sister, the tall dresser was my husband's when he was a child, and the changing table was a gift from the in-laws.
As we have transitioned into toddlerhood we have grown with the waves. I love the madras quilt and shark sheets from PB Kids that work wonderfully with the walls. We switched the crib out for the IKEA bed that has wonderful storage underneath, and the glider for E's personal chair. I also have a craft planned for this summer to hang above his bed (make sure you check back).

In a couple of years we will paint over the waves and create a big-boy room. For now it is a calm and peaceful room for sweet dreams.
This is a really cute room! I love the rooms that are sweet but still look like a place for kids, and in my opinion, you've achieved that really nicely.
