Jack's Gender Neutral Nursery
I've been doing some rearranging of Jack's room, and I'm finally liking how his little space has come together. It can be challenging to place furniture with the angled ceilings, and so one thing I moved out of this room into the adjacent space (which is where our closet is) is his changing table. Having that out of this space made it a little easier to work with furniture.
The rug, cube shelf (Ikea), rattan shelf, and crib (Babyletto) were all Craigslist finds! And his little dresser was a cheap Target dresser which I fancied up with some Pretty Pegs legs to give it a little mid-mod flair.
This room is a converted attic space, so the stairs to get up here are very small. Any furniture has to be less than 25 inches wide to fit up there, or able to be built in the space like most Ikea furniture. Luckily I found that round chartreuse chair at World Market and because of it's weird shape and removable legs, I was able to fit it upstairs! It's the perfect little chair for bedtime stories.
The floors are actually just the subfloor. There used to be ugly brown carpet up here and we ripped it out and I liked the wood floors. But we never put trim back on, so if you're wondering why we have no floor trim in here, that's why! We're probably going to eventually put *real* flooring in whenever we end up putting this house on the market.
I love having a space that feels uncluttered and natural. I'm not a fan of bright plastic toys, so I prefer classic wood toys that look nice and are also more eco friendly. I've found a lot of cool wooden toys on etsy and at thrift stores!
*for those wondering about the plants, Jack is never alone in this room because we're unable to fence off the stairs, so I'm always with him when he's playing in here. Peace Lilies are toxic to humans and pets, and Snake plants are mildly toxic, so make sure you watch your kids and pets around those plants!*
