Nursery // Glider & Rocker Roundup

Baby M’s nursery is starting to come together nicely! We’re still sticking to an eclectic modern style and the chevron rug works with our Pottery Barn bedding!

The latest great debate is glider, rocker, sitting chair or no chair at all. Personally I’m not a fan of the typical glider, so I’ve been on a mission to find a modern glider/rocker. The nine options above prove there are modern glider/rockers for every budget.

We’re leaning towards the Ikea Poang rocker, but have even discussed just purchasing a normal chair. Have you seen this Ikea rocker hack? It might be a great long term option if you’re looking for a chair that will work post baby.

Current Mamas: Do you have a glider/rocker in your nursery? How much do you use it? If you’re not currently on the path to parenthood, you might want to pin this for future reference

Nursery Progress & Design Help Needed

Happy Monday!

Alright, I need all you lovely ladies to put on your design hats. Not sure why, but I’m seriously struggling here. I’m going for a eclectic modern nursery and put together a few inspiration boards to get the juices flowing. Plus, I’ve been pinning away, but honestly I think it’s making the process harder. I love this, this, this, this, and this room. So let’s take a look at our room (sorry I took the photos at night).

Already Have

The Dresser

We already had this dresser and moved it to the nursery. It will also double as the changing table.

The Crib / Wall Color

I love the white. We painted the walls Olympic Gray Beard. Not sure how I feel about it. I think it might be too light. Yay of nay? Side note: we’re replacing the carpet with hardwood floors this summer.

Recent Purchases

(and on the fence about them)

Rug

I bought a grey chevron rug during the RugsUSA black Friday sale, but feel as though it’s too big for the room and it’s cream and gray vs. white and gray. However, I’m leaning towards something like this or a kilim style instead which could possibly work with the elephant curtains below. Thoughts?

Curtains

On a whim yesterday I went to Pier1 Imports and bought these curtains (similar). Not sure they will really work in the room, but I thought they were fun and playful. I also really like these, but our store has them with navy tassels and they could go with the chevron rug.

To-do’s/Still Need Purchase

Finalize — curtains, rug & wall color (possible repaint, ugh)

Window Blinds — We ordered samples from blinds.com today

Light fixture for the ceiling — no clue

Changing pad cover — of course the one I want is sold out online and in the store

Bedding — I really can’t decide (first world problems here) Grey, Purple or Pink not sure.

Closet organization — we’re looking at this shelving unit from Ikea

Gilder/Rocker — we decided on the Poang Rocker from Ikea, but can’t decide between white or grey

Picture gallery above the crib — we’ve decided to print photos we’ve taken on trips and around Tahoe

Mobile — on the fence and open to suggestions. I like this one and feel it would be an easy DIY

Pouf/Ottoman — open to colors and suggestions woven, leather or canvas

Miscellaneous — hamper, curtain rod, additional shelving in room, side table (not sure if we have the room), possible prints from Esty like this or this, etc.

So that’s where I’m at and this kid is due January 30th. Ideally I would like to have everything done and finalized by the second week of January, but with the holidays I’m not sure that’s going to happen. Especially if I keep being this indecisive. I usually don’t have this hard of time making decisions… I would love any suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

I must confess, I can’t wait to decorate the baby room! Although I’m waiting to find out whether our little peanut is a boy or girl one can still dream. Ideally we’ll keep the room modern and somewhat gender netural — clean simple lines with pops of color. We actually have a mid-century modern Broyhill dresser similar to the one below that I would love to work into the design.

I love this crib, but I’m not sure about the color. What do you think — white or gray?

Cinema Floor Lamp / AMOR2 Ivory Blue Rug / Threshold Sheer Curtain

Woven basket / School Of Fish Mirror / Birdwatcher Wall Hook

Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 Crib / Broyhill Mid-Century Danish Walnut Triple Dresser
Kipling Glider / Cyan Design Langley Table

Bartlett Ikat Links Area Rug / Global Bazaar Terrazzo Round Side Table

Good Morning Gorgeous Pillow / Zara Home mirror / Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 Crib

Harborside Swivel Glider / Hand Knitted Cable Style Pouf / Sabina Throw

Mid Century White Lacquered Dresser /Triangle Art
