Golf Greens and Sweet Dreams Nursery

We call our baby boy's nursery theme "Golf Greens and Sweet Dreams Nursery". In addition to the blue and green plaid fabrics that I used for the room's window valances and chair upholstery. We used the layout of our favorite golf course and a painting of a friendly alligator (rumored to hang out around the water hazard) as part of the wall decor.

Golf Greens and Sweet Dreams Nursery

When I found out I was having a baby boy I set out to design a room that would be suitable for both an infant as well as an older child in school.

I quickly learned that I wasn't interested in any of the traditional themes for a baby boy's nursery. Dump trucks, planes, choo choo trains and football are just not my decorating style.

And then I realized that the perfect nursery theme was right there in front of me all along..GOLF! My husband is an avid golfer and I knew he would give his wholehearted approval to my idea for a golf themed nursery.

Narrowing down the golf nursery color scheme was more of a challenge than I had imagined because there are so many vibrant colors in the game of golf. Each course is a riot of green, bright red flags, blue water hazards etc. but I decided to focus on baby blue and a bright, leaf green.

After selecting two suitable fabrics for the window treatments in the chair upholstery, a preppy hound’s-tooth and a modern plaid, I pulled three colors from the fabrics and used them as the primary colors in the room (two shades of green one shade of blue).

The main colors are repeated in a mural of a golf course that wraps around the room (that I painted during my second trimester), hand painted drawer pulls, window treatments, upholstery, linens (hand sewn), an area rug (pottery barn kids), and a variety of accessories. Our baby boy's nursery theme is a bright and peaceful room that is unlike any nursery I have ever seen and I thank
Unique Baby Gear Ideas very much for giving us the confidence to design a room that reflects our favorite colors and hobby.
