Baseball Nursery in Shades of Blue

We didn't want an overwhelming baseball nursery theme for our son's room. A room filled with sports graphics in cartoon form just didn't appeal to us.

The first thing we did was find some modern baby bedding with a contemporary print fabric with a color combination in brown, blue and creme with tan accents. Once we picked out the crib set, designing the rest of the baseball nursery theme baseball nursery theme was easy.

The decision was made to paint the nursery using horizontal stripes but we couldn't decide which colors were best. We just could not narrow it down to three paint colors, so we used six colors in our project with alternating colors in each stripe.

In light of all the different shades ranging from chocolate brown to aqua in the room and the blue and brown baby bedding, we decided to use black for the furniture color. We bought a black crib and gave a console table a makeover with black lacquer paint to use as a baby changing table. I got baskets to put on the shelves as storage receptacles for toys, books, diapers and boxes of baby wipes.

The reason for the baseball nursery theme is that my husband loves baseball. He had some really cool old time, vintage baseball art prints of baseball gloves and mitts that we used to decorate the walls over the crib. On the opposite wall we hung some matching black wall shelves and made an arrangement of some of his old bats, gloves and baseballs.
