baby boy monaco’s nursery tour
![](https://i0.wp.com/theolivejune.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/FullSizeRender2B245.jpg?resize=640%2C634&ssl=1)
the nursery is officially ready to welcome a baby! it seems surreal and i can’t wait to meet this little guy, whom i am destined to fall madly, deeply in love with. when we found out that we were having a baby boy, i knew i wanted the nursery to be gray, white {light/airy} with rustic, vintage, and personal touches. the room is pretty small but has three large windows {which is why some of the photos were really hard to take!} i love the natural light though. in late october, my dad created a white accent wall on one wall {it’s about 3/4 of the way up with hooks- so in love with how it turned out! thank you so much, dad!} it helped give the tiny room a lot more character. seeing everything come together has been emotional and so special- i had the best time gathering pieces between july-december. i poured my heart and soul into his little room. i am so excited to share it all with you today- i hope you enjoy it! it feels serene, peaceful, and calm to me- which is what i hope he feels in his space, too.

the crib is simple and mid-modern
i have loved it for years and searched endlessly at all options but came back to this one from babyletto- the hudson crib
{we both love it!}![](https://i0.wp.com/theolivejune.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IMG_9379.jpg?resize=640%2C640&ssl=1)

i am also hoping to share more of his closet with you soon
we used bins, baskets, and organizers to make more room
most of his clothes are consignment/were on sale/vintage from instagram
i loved searching for pieces for him
{clothes for baby boys were surprising aDoRaBle!}

Adorable! Where did you get the white three tier roller? I have been looking for one for my nursery. We're moving into our new place at this end of this month and I cannot wait to start decorating.

Ohmygoodness what a precious nursery and I love all the vintage touches! I love your style and followed on IG. We've got those same book shelves in our kiddos' shared bedroom and they are perfect for picking out a storybook 🙂
