Jackson's nursery

James and I wanted Jackson's nursery to be cute but as you know I do not like themes. I searched the Internet and kept coming back to this design. It was so cute but looked like so much work!!! Finally I told James we had to do it! I was just so in love with that wall. So, 4 weekends, many measurements, rolls of tape and a lot of vinyl stickers later we had a master piece.

Here is a preview of Jackson's nursery. We are not near finished with it, but I HAD to share. I am in love with it. This room makes me so happy!!


(Below is a video...Please click on it)




I know I am going to be asked so here are the paint colors:
Grey-Behr Anonymous
Blue- Behr Brilliant sea
White-Behr Beluga
All paint is satin enamel.

( I will post progression pictures in another blog)

I love it! My son is due in April and I too saw that design and completed it! It looks the exact same and I love it! Got to love doing all those dashes!

Kellie Staats said...

kwilson50- We did our dashes in vinyl. I tried to stencil but it looks horrid!!

I love this! You guys did an awesome job. Jackson is so lucky :)

I ended up tracing a 1/4 inch stick down the wall, well my husband traced while I held the laser level, and taped down both sides of the very little line. Then I taped the spaces in between and painted. It was time consuming but the outcome was worth it. Yeah stencil did not work. I think anyway you do it, it's still a lot of dashed! Great job!

Oh I LOVE argyle. I wanted to do purple, grey & white with my daughter, but my husband said it was too boyish. I'm glad you did it, it looks AMAZING!

Robin said...

The room looks amazing! You and James are really talented. And James is hilarious too, lol....
I am so happy for you guys! What an exciting time in your lives! Thanks for sharing! Praying for you always!

Tracey said...

OMG...That was is AMAZING!!! Looks like you are so ready for Jackson...he is going to be one spoiled little boy (which is how all babies should be!). Glad you guys have your Hope to focus on. I saw where you said it was hard to go into Maddie's old room, but you did great on the video and seemed like it is becomming a happier place for you. Maddie would be proud.
Continued prayers for you guys!!

That wall is awesome! I have never seen anything like it. Jackson will love it.

Jennifer said...

LOVE IT!

Mireya Garcia said...

Love it...

question why don't you two get a bassinet for the baby for him to sleep in the time he will be in your room. I did that with my lil' dude for 5 months then transferred him to his crib. they have a great one at babies r us that actually has an attachment to connect the bed so all you have to do is roll over and reach for the baby.

Hi, I'm Missy! said...

Jackson's wall looks great! You guys did an awesome job! I painted stripes on a wall this weekend and I was exhausted. I can only imagine all the work that went into that!!

He will love it!!!

Mon said...

Its beautiful. Are you going to paint it? there is a wall paper like this you could use

Christina said...

OMG this is the absolute CUTEST thing I have seen! You and James did an awesome job!

Nicole Rodriguez said...

LOVE LOVE LOVE his wall and room! I'm not a theme person either - I like color combos! Y'all did great! I did stripes in my two younger boy's room and I love them, but they took FOREVER!!!! So worth it in the end though :)

Kellie Staats said...

Molly- That is paint. No wallpaper in our home.

Kellie Staats said...

Mireya Garcia- The safest place for Jackson is in his crib. Bassinets have closed sides and I'm not sure I like that. Its just a personal choice.

Jen said...

Amazing job guys!! Way to go!!

I laughed so hard when James said his big giant face, then a pause, then a "What?" OMG LMAO. I can only imagine what the look on your face must have been to make him say "What?" Priceless!!

So happy for you guys!! Thanks for sharing!

Oh my goodness - I am in love with that wall!! I'm going to have to bookmark this for when our little guy gets his room in our new house (though, I'm not sure if I would have the skill to do this kind of project!).

A P said...

Absolutely adorable! Very unique and perfect for a little boy. You and James did an amazing job!

Auntie Mip said...

This is FABULOUS!!!

I am not a theme person either and this is so incredible. That focal wall is just unreal. All that work. All those stickers. All that Love. I cried with joy watching your video. I know your hearts are forever broken because your Maddie died, but you look genuinely happy. Jackson is providing such healing and Madison is so happy!

LisaRae said...

Kara said...

That is amazing looking! I give you and your husband a lot of credit for a job well done! I did stripes for one of my sons room and it was a lot of work, I can't imagine the time and patience that went into this, it's beautiful!

Bbabsy said...

I LOVE how that looks!!!!

Traci said...

Wow, that is a true labor of love! 999 vinyl stickers! I did a pixie dust stencil around my daughter's room, and I thoguht THAT was time-consuming. You guys are decorating champs!

Ashley said...

I know I'm one among many comments, but just had to add that wall is amazing!! I'm very impressed, little Jackson is going to love it.

Unknown said...

You guys are so cute! I love the nursery and your videos are awesome that you are making them. :) Congrats on the bundle of Joy! I bet you guys cannot wait to meet Jackson! I have been following you all for quite some time and I am so happy for you both. I lost my husband this past January and I know it isn't quite the same as losing a child but my husband and I never had children which I am regretting now. I am sure your daughter is with you all the time just as I believe my husband Aaron is still with me. Take care!

Angela said...

I LOVE the wall! You did an amazing job!!

Modern said...

I absolutely adore this video! You guys will treasure it for years. You have such an amazing love for each other and for your children. The wall and the rest of Jackson's room look great! I think the fact that he will have a pink lovey blanket made of his sister's stuff is awesome. After all, colors are just colors, and the meaning behind it means so much more. <3 to you!
