Designing a nursery is not something I've been asked to do often, although I love the idea of creating a space that welcomes a new little person into the world. For my own children, I went the traditional pink and blue route because there weren't many other choices at that time. Nowadays, there are many new color combinations, as well as crib and furniture styles making the design options for nurseries endless.
It was such a fun surprise to receive a set of wooden blocks from the company Uncle Goose. They make traditional old-school style alphabet blocks with a modern twist.
I started playing around with them because they have cool patterns on one side.
And fun fonts and icons on the others.
Then I starting thinking about designing a baby's bedroom around the colors in the blocks because as it turns out, army green, orange and black are great together!
Here's the nursery I came up with…

The space we call home is a reflection of who we are. Each of us deserves to live in an environment that nurtures and provides comfort and peace. Creating a home and a life you love starts with surrounding yourself with things and people that make you happy. It’s not about fancy things or being perfect, it’s about appreciating the beauty that is accessible to us all. This blog is my journal for celebrating the all the beautiful things that inspire me. I hope you will visit often and will be inspired too! 
Very cool vintage blocks, and great pictures. My kids are all grown up, but if they werent….
I love the Eames blocks. My Mom has been obsessed with Eames as long as I can remember and I’ve inherited my Grandmother’s Eames lounge purchased in the mid-50’s!
Such a great gift idea.
I love this company! thanks for sharing. I am eyeing the Arabic and French blocks. My husband speaks to our kids in both languages….. well a French a little more, 🙂 Your set that you display in the basket is visually is the best colors and shapes.
