Now that Simon has arrived and I have finished taking pictures of the nursery, I am finally ready to show you!
If you’ve been reading over here then you know I have been working on this room for months… back in March I was creating the ever-evolving, never-ending checklist which I am proud to say is completed and I couldn’t be happier with how the room turned out. Simon will be sleeping in a bassinet in our room for awhile, but having the room done & ready is such a good feeling.
We change him on the changing pad in his room throughout the night… & T and I have both sat in the glider to rock him to sleep… His little outfits are hung up in the closet & folded in the drawers…And the art and photos are hanging [untouched for now!] on his cute little pegboard gallery wall.
It is definitely a happy place for us (and Simon, too, I hope)!
The walls were gray to start with & after removing the guest bed, dresser & nightstand, it was go-time! If you remember my mood / inspiration board for the nursery, I decided to go with navy, green & gray as the color scheme. I wanted a bright and bold look and achieved this through mixing fun patterns & textures!
Scroll through to view the nursery photos and be sure to check out the bottom of the post for a full source list!
If you have any questions about anything you see in this post, please leave a comment on this post or you can email me at thisisourbliss@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you! To see future posts and other areas of our house I am going to be working on, follow my blog by email!

Have the clothing rods in the closet remained secure after being screwed into the PAX? I’m always skeptical on the longevity of Ikea. Thanks!

Have you created the tutorial/buy option for the “boys will be boys” sign?
Hey Rachael,
I love this whole nursery! I especially am in love with your closet! I was looking through your list of IKEA items and was wondering if you could tell me which ones specifically that you used, as I am having a hard time on their website figuring out. Also, what are the dimensions of your closet space, so I can compare to what I am working with? Thanks!
Hi Lauren! Unfortunately, we moved last month and I don’t have the closet dimensions! I totally should have saved them somewhere – dang! I used the PAX wardrobe frame and Komplement drawers and shelves. Do you need to know which sizes?

Hey! I am curious what color gray did you use on the wall? I am trying to find one I like that isn’t too light but not too dark and I really like the one you have here

Hi I am trying to find your tutorial on the peg board and it doesn’t seem to be there anymore – do you still have it? Also could you please explain how the plate holders work with the fabric? Thanks so much
The plate holders I used had prongs at the back, so I laid the fabric across the opening from the back and then pushed the prongs over it to secure it. There is some fabric that hangs over the edge on the back, but you can’t see it from the front. Does that make sense?!
Vanessa
May 7, 2016 at 5:47 PM
Thank you for getting back with me that link still doesn’t seem to be working? Do you know where to find plate holders similar at all?
Good luck! Please let me know if I can help in any other way!!

Is the IKEA dresser white or white stain? On their website the white looks like an off white. So I’m not sure which one will be a “true” white and best match other white items. Also, you did an awesome job on the entire space! Thanks for blogging.
Thanks Jack! The dresser is in “white”, which is a glossy white and in my opinion – true white. It matches all other white items in the room including the crib. The photo on their website is a bit deceiving. Alternatively, you can actually see the wood grain in the “white stain” version. I hope it works out for you. We really like ours! Thank you for reading! 🙂

Hi there! Ok so loooove this room. Great job! I have a quick question for you. I own a kids decor shop on Etsy and we are all about doing DIY projects for moms who love the look of DIY but can’t do it themselves. We want to do a line called: “As seen on…” basically offering customized version of designs they love and found of blogs like yours and pinterest. Would you mind if we use your pictures as an example? We’d give you full credit for the design on both the pictures and on the listing. Plus we would put your blog URL on our listing as well. We are averaging about 100-160 views a day so it could bring more traffic to your blog. Thanks for your consideration and let me know!
Hi Nicole! Thank you so much! I would love to chat about this a little more… Perhaps over email?! I can shoot you a note this evening 🙂 thanks so much for reading!
Hi there!! I absolutely love this nursery and doing a similar color scheme for my baby boy. Do you remember the store name on etsy where you got the crib skirt and changing pad cover? I love it!
Thanks!
Hi Kathryn – Thanks so much for reading! I am so glad you stopped by 🙂 I am not sure what happened to the etsy shop / link. I can’t seem to pull up any info on the shop? I actually had a rather challenging experience working with them, in all honesty. I have included the fabric details below so hopefully you, someone you know or another etsy shop owner can help you make some great nursery pieces for your baby boy.
The fabric collection is called “Marine”. If you visit http://www.robertkaufman.com and type “marine” in the search box, 3 pages of patterns should show up. I just saw several of them on the first page (and also spotted a new houndstooth print in the same colors!) If you have any other questions, please reach out again! Thanks so much for reading and I’m glad you found some nursery inspiration – good luck!
[…] now, I am especially giddy because one of my first major blog posts / room reveals, Simon’s Nursery Reveal, showcasing several design and diy elements, has started to gain some attention. The Pegboard […]
Hi there! I couldn’t find it online when I just looked either, so I called the store & had them look up my purchase. It is called the “Peyton” crib in classic white. It is still available, so you should be able to call a store & have it ordered 🙂 thank you for reading! Have a great day ~ Rachael

[…] me thinking… I have had quite a few people ask me about the pegboard gallery wall I did in Simon’s nursery and I never really did a follow-up post with the deets, so thought it might be a good idea to […]
Hi Rachael! I also have the Bygel rail to hang on a peg board, but I am not sure how to hang it. The only thing I can think of is to screw it on with short screws and nuts before mounting the peg board to the wall. How did you do it?
Hi Stephanie! We drilled a couple of strips of wood (1″x4″) across the back of the pegboard. Then we screwed the rail across the pegboard so the screw would enter in & hit the piece of wood. Does this make sense? I’ve had several people ask about the pegboard, so may end up doing a post on it. I hope that helps! Thanks for reading & I hope to see you back here again 🙂 thanks, Rachael
Kinda makes sense. Our pegboard is very thin though, only about 1/8″ I think, so I’m not sure how I’d screw that in, but I might try to put the boards on with wood glue and then drill the rail into the boards behind it. We’ll see how that goes. Thanks for the response! 🙂
I think we are saying the same thing! We actually did use wood glue & then drilled thru the front of the pegboard into the back piece of wood. We then screwed the rail into the board behind it. Best of luck!! I’d love to see it when you’re done 🙂
That’s reassuring. At least I know I’m on the right track then. I would love to share the finished product with you. Hopefully it will be done soon considering he’s due today, but I’m still tying up some loose ends. I’ll email you some pictures when it’s all wrapped up though. I actually found your blog by searching navy and lime green nursery on pinterest so you’ll see some familiar projects in there for sure but don’t worry I didn’t copy everything, haha! Thanks again for all your help. 🙂
I would absolutely love to see all of your projects – please do share!! Projects take some time & there is nothing wrong with finishing up after baby’s arrival 🙂 I hope all is well with you and your family. Take care & thanks so much for reading! ~ Rachael

Ok there’s probably nothing more to say about your son’s fabulous room that hasn’t already been said! He is one lucky boy. I may have to steal your marquee letter idea, it’s so fun, but I would totally give you props! That’s how we fellow DIYers roll. And thanks for following!
Thanks for checking out my post & for your sweet comment! The marquee was so fun to make & looks awesome all lit up in the room 🙂 you should definitely try it… Good luck & thanks again ~ Rachael
It’s perfect Rachael!!! Love the peg board and how you did his closet! I’m gearing up to fix a nursery too (for a baby girl) so I’m glad to get more inspiration here! Great job!
Thanks so much, Vel! I’m so glad to hear you’ve found some inspiration! Thanks for stopping by & best of luck with your baby girl’s nursery 🙂 ~ Rachael
Rachael, this is just the cutest of nurseries!! Love the color scheme (this room can transition with Simon for years!) and all of the little details – the fun mobile, the marquee “S”, the diaper holder, etc. Simon is one lucky little man!
Rachael, this is just beyond adorable!! The fun colors and mix of pattern is perfect, I would be hanging out in there with your precious little Simon every chance I could! Congrats and enjoy this special time with your newborn!
wow! Thanks, Pam! I am so thrilled to hear from you 🙂 I adore your blog… your style is beautiful and I am in love with so many of your projects. I so appreciate you taking the time to check out my post on Mr. Simon’s nursery. It really does mean a lot. Thanks again, Rachael
Oh my gosh, this nursery is SOOOO adorable!! I love love love the navy and white with lots of cheery lime green. That closet!!! The little hanging outfits! Also the curtains are just awesome, and the pegboard for a gallery wall!! Welcome to the world baby Simon. Thanks for sharing his room at Best of the Nest, Rachael!
Thank you, Lisa! This was my first time linking up with you lovely gals & I’m so glad I did! I appreciate you checking out my nursery post so much 🙂 it was such a fun space to create… I loved starting with a blank canvas… With an older brother, Simon will never want for an outfit! Thank you again for your sweet note. ~ Rachael

I have included the fabric details below so hopefully you, someone you know or another etsy shop owner can help you make some great nursery pieces for your baby boy.
The fabric collection is called “Marine”. If you visit http://www.robertkaufman.com and type “marine” in the search box, 3 pages of patterns should show up. I just saw several of them on the first page (and also spotted a new houndstooth print in the same colors!) If you have any other questions, please reach out again! Thanks so much for reading and I’m glad you found some nursery inspiration – good luck!

September 21, 2014 at 12:22 AMHi, what brand is the crib? We looked on Buy Buy Baby but could not find that one and we love it! 🙂

September 22, 2014 at 9:56 AMHi there! I couldn’t find it online when I just looked either, so I called the store & had them look up my purchase. It is called the “Peyton” crib in classic white. It is still available, so you should be able to call a store & have it ordered 🙂 thank you for reading! Have a great day ~ Rachael

August 2, 2014 at 5:17 PMHi Rachael! I also have the Bygel rail to hang on a peg board, but I am not sure how to hang it. The only thing I can think of is to screw it on with short screws and nuts before mounting the peg board to the wall. How did you do it?
rbliefnick
August 3, 2014 at 11:21 AMHi Stephanie! We drilled a couple of strips of wood (1″x4″) across the back of the pegboard. Then we screwed the rail across the pegboard so the screw would enter in & hit the piece of wood. Does this make sense? I’ve had several people ask about the pegboard, so may end up doing a post on it. I hope that helps! Thanks for reading & I hope to see you back here again 🙂 thanks, Rachael
Stephanie Piontkowski
August 5, 2014 at 6:44 PMKinda makes sense. Our pegboard is very thin though, only about 1/8″ I think, so I’m not sure how I’d screw that in, but I might try to put the boards on with wood glue and then drill the rail into the boards behind it. We’ll see how that goes. Thanks for the response! 🙂
rbliefnick
August 5, 2014 at 8:43 PMI think we are saying the same thing! We actually did use wood glue & then drilled thru the front of the pegboard into the back piece of wood. We then screwed the rail into the board behind it. Best of luck!! I’d love to see it when you’re done 🙂
Stephanie Piontkowski
August 7, 2014 at 1:47 PMThat’s reassuring. At least I know I’m on the right track then. I would love to share the finished product with you. Hopefully it will be done soon considering he’s due today, but I’m still tying up some loose ends. I’ll email you some pictures when it’s all wrapped up though. I actually found your blog by searching navy and lime green nursery on pinterest so you’ll see some familiar projects in there for sure but don’t worry I didn’t copy everything, haha! Thanks again for all your help. 🙂
rbliefnick
August 16, 2014 at 12:30 PMI would absolutely love to see all of your projects – please do share!! Projects take some time & there is nothing wrong with finishing up after baby’s arrival 🙂 I hope all is well with you and your family. Take care & thanks so much for reading! ~ Rachael

Found This Painted That
June 12, 2014 at 11:22 PMOk there’s probably nothing more to say about your son’s fabulous room that hasn’t already been said! He is one lucky boy. I may have to steal your marquee letter idea, it’s so fun, but I would totally give you props! That’s how we fellow DIYers roll. And thanks for following!
