Our Baby Boy's Peter Pan Nursery

by Jen

Our baby boy's Peter Pan nursery started out to be a Tinkerbell fairy nursery after a less than clear ultrasound view that indicated we were expecting a baby girl.

Inspirational Peter Pan Quotes for the Wall Peter Pan Wall Decals Peter Pan Fabric for Curtains, Quilts and Bedding

Thinking that we were decorating a nursery for a baby girl, we bought fabric for a Tinkerbell baby bedding set and as many Disney nursery decorations as we could afford throughout the months of my pregnancy.

Thank goodness we didn't have a lot of money to spend since I lost my job preventing the baby's room from being completely decorated before the surprise we got at the time of delivery.

Needless to say, the crib set was put up for sale in an auction and there was a mad dash to make the nursery more masculine.

Thank goodness the Peter Pan quote decal that we had custom made was a gender neutral shade of black and that we painted the nursery walls a light shade of lavender that was very close to baby blue to match one of the colors that was featured in the fabric that I bought for the Tinkerbell curtains and crib set.

The Peter Pan Baby Bedding Set
After spending so much time (and money) sewing the other crib set that had not sold yet, I started to shop for a cheap set online at the Disney store and Ebay and didn't find so much as a crib sheet; everything was Tinkerbell!

I searched for Peter Pan fabric and didn't like most of the patterns that I found until I found a star print fabric called "Off to Neverland". The material has antique white stars on a pretty blue color background that makes me think of a beautiful night sky.

I liked it so much that I made a patchwork baby quilt by alternating squares of this fabric with solid cream blocks. All that was needed to complete the set were a couple of cream color crib sheets and a crib skirt.


The Tinkerbell and Peter Pan blanket that is draped over the back of the nursery rocking chair was a gift from my baby shower. It's very colorful and when/if we ever have a baby girl, we can continue to use it.

Peter Pan Wall Art
I thought about buying decals to create one of the Peter Pan wall murals that features Peter Pan and Wendy flying. But even though the one I found was really cheap, money is tight and we already had a couple of posters that we had framed that we could work with.

Our baby boy's Peter Pan nursery may seem to be a bit eclectic but it's original and not too shabby considering that we started out with Tinkerbell baby nursery ideas for a girl!
