Baby Francois’ Modern Nursery

Minimal meets classic in this modern nursery. Come take a look around and see how this last minute baby’s room came together!

With the projects that stacked up this summer/fall from taking over our duplex’s apartment unit upstairs, our son, who is due on Saturday, (Nov. 2020), his room has been inadvertently left to the last minute. From what you’re telling me on Instagram though, this isn’t unusual for a 2nd kid. So thank you for curbing my mom guilt. LOL.

So much of this room is hand-me-downs from Sylvia, and generally from around the house and storage. This rug has lived in our living room for the last 7 years. It’s only 6.5′ x 8.5′ in size, so it always was a little too small for the living room, thought I love it so much it didn’t really bother me.

I was excited though to move it into the babe’s room as I think the deep tones, and loud pattern are really grounding in here–not to mention a much better fit, size-wise.

This room used to be Ken and my room (this little house of ours doesn’t have a master, but it does–thankfully–have three bedrooms all on one floor. All to say–the drapery are leftover from when this was our bedroom. And the bubble ceiling light we had in storage, once in our daughter’s room.

We did incorporate a few new pieces in here though! The walnut dresser, doubles as a changing table. I love the way the mid-tone veneer bridges the dark wood doors with the lighter, neutral tones.

Baby Francois will eventually take Sylvie’s crib, but at the moment, she still uses it as a toddler bed, and you couldn’t pay me enough to transition a 3 year old into a big girl bed simultaneously with a newborn. (haha) So for now, everyone is staying put which is why we have the bassinet in here.

We’re trying the Snoo Bassinet amid mixed reviews, and did the monthly rental option, just in case.

At the other end of the room, we have the gilder/recliner paired with a bookcase. Yes–you read that right: recliner. I never thought I’d own one, but we’re definitely going for comfort and practicality with baby #2! All things considered, this one is pretty cute!

We have a similar chair/bookcase/lamp setup in our daughter’s room, and it works great to hold all the things: bottles, pump, pacifiers, books, toys, etc.
