Alex Drummond has officially entered one of the most fun pregnancy phases of all: nursery planning! And based on her early picks, baby boy’s room is going to be equal parts cozy, classic, and completely charming. But that’s no surprise, given how adorable Sofia’s nursery turned out! This time around, think: soft blues, timeless patterns, and furniture finds that feel stylish without the splurge.
And it’s the perfect time to shop, even with the nursery vision still coming together. “Starting to dream about baby boy's nursery!! Wayfair is always a go-to for me for great quality furniture that isn't crazy expensive…. Their huge Way Day sale kicks off on April 25th,” Alex shared.
At first glance, the pastel palette sets the tone. The Gracie Oaks Eudell Plaid Single Curtain Panel in a soft blue gingham is sure to instantly ground the space in a sweet, traditional feel. Gingham is one of those patterns that never really goes out of style, and brings a gentle, nostalgic charm that feels perfect for a nursery. The light blue hue keeps things airy and calming—exactly the kind of environment you want for both baby and parents during those early days. Even better, these curtains offer room-darkening benefits, thermal insulation, and noise cancellation.
For wall decor, Alex adds a simple but elevated accent: the Joss & Main Castellanos Mirror.The rounded wood detailing adds dimension and a hint of rustic charm, tying in perfectly with the modern farmhouse aesthetic she often gravitates toward. It’s subtle, but will give the wall just enough interest without overwhelming the space.
Then, there’s the Birch Lane Momsen Scallop Shade Lamp. It’s a small detail, but it adds so much personality. The scalloped edge gives this lighting piece a playful, almost storybook feel, while the natural texture of the shade introduces warmth and balance to the room.
When it comes to furniture, the foundation is all about classic silhouettes. The DaVinci Charlie 4-in-1 Convertible Crib features a gently curved silhouette that feels both timeless and nursery-friendly. Designed to grow with your child, it converts from a crib into future bed options, making it a smart long-term investment. The dark wood with a warm finish will also contrast nicely with the lighter textiles in the room. There’s also the Lark Manor Baby Changing Table Dresser that doubles as both 7-drawer storage and a changing station with rounded edges and anti-tip safety features. The neutral tone gives it classic, understated elegance, too.
And arguably one of the most important pieces in any nursery: the chair! Alex’s pick is the Namesake Crewe Recliner and Swivel Glider, an upholstered glider in blue gingham that’s designed for everything from late-night feedings to quiet cuddle time. With its smooth gliding and swivel motion, plus a recline feature for added comfort, it brings both function and a relaxed, polished look to the room. Plus, the pattern brings every piece together beautifully.
