Royal Baby: King of the Skies

I posted my take on the female version of the royal nursery here, but I wanted to show how I would decorate for the future King of England below.

I envision the nursery to have an vintage pilot theme to it. So lets take a look at what that would mean!

Let's start with the crib and bedding. I loved the clean lines of the crib and think it plays well with the more traditional wood color. The crisp colors in the bedding combined with the traditional map print would compliment the crib nicely and serve as the color scheme for the room. I also love the idea of the globe mobile with the vintage model airplanes flying around it.

The dresser pics up the same colors from the crib and would make a good changing table. I would repeat the mobile idea with these wire planes - a nice touch to keep the baby's attention during diaper changes.  The union jack tarp wall tapestry has a nice vintage feel and gives a gentle nod to the baby's future role.

I love the idea of outfitting a rocker in a nice manly leather. The combination is so unexpected and decidedly masculine. The vintage ticket stub rug is graphic and fun - it even includes a nod to London!

Now onto the fun stuff - Every room should have a little fun it. I love this pilot tent (yes I realize that it is for the US air force instead of RAF, but I'm pretty sure they could have it custom made with Will's division logo.) and the matching pedal airplane. Both should inspire hours of imagination and fun. The final touch is the aviator chair which is miniature sized and perfect for quiet reading time.

Royal Baby: Queen of the Jungle

I have a small....ok....LARGE obsession with Will and Kate. I was one of those Americans that actually got up at 3 am to watch the Royal Wedding in real time.

So when news of the Royal Baby hit, which multiple people alerted me to as my obsession is well known, I started thinking about how I would decorate the nursery of a future ruler.  I now present you with the girl's theme: Queen of the Jungle.

Will and Kate have a fondness for Kenya, where they got engaged, so I designed a modern safari nursery. I thought the clean lines of the giraffe silhouette bedding would look lovely in this modern take on a traditional sleigh crib. When she gets older, she can move on to this elegant forest themed four-posted bed.

I picture Kate to be a nursing mom, but even if she opts for formula feedings, this tufted rocker and zebra lumbar pillow will have her cozily feeding her little princess in the middle of the night.

The adorable giraffe artwork alludes to the many adventures HRH will experience during her reign, while the accent of pink in the rug softens the gray and white color scheme.

Who needs a mobile when you can have a crystal chandelier over your crib? These menagerie bookends will be the perfect accent for all of books Kate and Will will surely collect for her.

The royal derriere can not be changed on just any changing table! This dresser will be good for changing now and can stay with her as she becomes a fashionista like her mother - I do think she should start her crown jewel collection early by replacing the knobs with these gems.

On to my favorite part of the room. What little boy or girl wouldn't want a reading nook complete with a tree bookcase, private camping tent and oversized elephant plush to cuddle with? Perfect for playing hide and seek when she wants to skirt her royal duties.
