A NEUTRAL SHARED BABY + CHILD ROOM

When we found out we were having a baby boy last year, I instantly went to work taking Bella's room from somewhat neutral/somewhat girly, to a perfectly gender neutral shared space for both of my babies to love. Though it wasn't a conscious choice per say to go all black and white, it just kind of happened, I added a black piece here, added a white piece there, and before I knew it, I looked around and it was a monochrome room. And. I. LOVE. It.


It still has all of the white that I love, but also has pops of black contrast which I feel are just perfect, with some sage thrown in here and there for the final touches! The white matching Jenny Lind style twin bed and crib from DaVinci Baby, Bella's new piece of Sugarboo artwork from Vanillawood, Bodhi's sweet neutral rain cloud mobile from Baby Jives, our Pillowfort wire shelf that Frank spray painted black for me (the gold just wasn't working in the space and I love the way the black looks), Bodhi's crib skirt from Pehr Designs, Bella and Bodhi's matching black and white swiss dot sheets from Crate and Kids, Bella's (new to us) quilt from Land of Nod, the vetiver micro Gathre mat that tops our changing mat, their (washable) bereber rug from Lorena Canals, the sweetest moses basket from Plum and Sparrow... and so many other little details in the room all coming together so beautifully to create the most perfect space for our little ones.


It took me forever to find the perfect mobile for Bodhi, I searched high and low, etsy and amazon and pottery barn kids and crate and kids and restoration hardware... pretty much everywhere and anywhere that sold mobiles, I looked. I almost decided to go the DIY route after I found something that I kind of liked on pinterest. But I just couldn't find "the one". That is, until I remembered an adorable brand I had found on instagram a few years ago... Baby Jives! I looked them up and instantly knew that a Baby Jives mobile would be the mobile he had to have.


I just love their sweet whimsical cloud mobiles (which are actually made right here in Pennsylvania), they're absolutely perfect for every little one's room, they sell mobiles with hearts, mobiles with stars (and moons), mobiles with raindrops (and lightning bolts) and they're just absolutely darling. Bodhi loves laying in his crib and looking up at his sweet rain cloud mobile and it was the final finishing touch for his room that we hung a few days before he was born, it just completed the look and made it more than perfect.

Hope you love the room as much as we do! Also, if you have any questions about any of the items in the room, feel free to message me on Instagram or shoot me an email and I'd be happy to share!
