Our homes provide an outlet for us to experiment & try new ideas. Our At Home With series is a peak into our lives & creativity.
Up first is Kamin's son, Hudson's, nursery.
Even though he is almost 15 months old she is still continuously updating and tweaking, and lets be honest...it will probably never be completely finished! There are always new ideas!
Kamin knew from the moment she found out she was having a boy that she wanted a more masculine nursery than most. It evolved into eclectic, rustic and vintage over time as we collected new and family heirloom pieces for the space.
The Jenny Lind crib was the first piece she inherited. With mixed bedding from The Land of Nod and Restoration Hardware it set the scene for the entire room. We loved the idea of mixing high and low end bedding and since crib sheets don't always stay super clean, it's the perfect way to get the
most out of your budget without compromising style.
Although the idea of layering a rug on carpet isn't a new one, it's an amazing one. Having a rug helps anchor the room and add another element of texture.
Another fun idea was using vintage golf clubs we picked up on a trip to Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta instead of traditional curtains rods.
Kamin's husband was especially excited about this idea!
We are never afraid to mix patterns & textures to get the perfect mix. Old kilim pillows, cow hide, chevron, stripes; this room has it all & it works!
Kamin opted for a deep club chair rather than a rocker and has loved the idea of being able to keep it in the room as Hudson grew.
It's the perfect spot for lots of snuggles and reading!
An important part of decorating Hudson's space was to incorporate personal touches and family heirlooms. This beautiful vintage dresser was in Kamin's mother's nursery and the tiny highchair is another family heirloom that's over 100 years old.
She made sure not to leave out Hudson's daddy in the mix, and added lots of details from his childhood like his old baseball glove and baseballs.
There is also a plaster hand-print from his first few days in elementary school.
This roadside find drafting table (yes, K's dad literally found it on the side of the road in a trash pile!) made for an unexpected place for a changing table. An old metal toolbox makes a catch all spot for diapers, wipes and other items needed within reach.
We love looking for the unexpected and using items in a new way! Not everything has to be perfectly matched and cookie cutter. Making your space, your space is what's most important and bringing in those pieces you love is what makes it unique. So many things in Hudson's nursery have a story and a past, and now they have a future!
