documenTORI: Finn's Nursery

Dec 5, 2012 at 5:50am by Tori Spelling

Yesterday you saw photos of Finn’s nursery, and for the first 2 videos of documenTORI I wanted to take you behind the scenes of us in design mode. Because I was in the hospital for a large portion of my pregnancy with Finn, a lot of the final details came together only a couple weeks before I gave birth.  We captured it on camera and I hope you enjoy watching our design process. Without further ado, I give you the behind the scenes of Finn's nursery...

 

Because the theme of the room is giraffe, all of the vintage giraffe prints we found were crucial in pulling the whole design together.  I spent a lot of time scouring Etsy and eBay to find the perfect prints that would adorn the nursery walls, but once we found the prints we still had a lot of work to do. Picking out the frames that the prints would go in would be the the finishing touch to my vision. So at the very end of my pregnancy, I waddled into a frame store with Mehran, Bill, Scout and Jess to choose the perfect frames to house Finn’s giraffe prints.

 
I’m thrilled with the eclectic frames that we picked, and with the way that my little man's nursery turned out.  My vision was completely brought to life, and I think Finn loves it just as much as I do.

What do you think of Finn’s finished nursery?

Love,

T

      I love Finn's room and so does my youngest daughter, who is almost 12. She absolutely loves giraffes and would love to have Finn's room, or at least all the decor. Great job!

      Tori,
      I love love LOVE Finn's room! Orange is one of my favorite colors, and especially for a boys room. The wall paper is such a great complement to the orange. When we did our sons nursery 6 years ago, I had my hubby paint our son's armoire a cream-cicle orange lacquer color that I love! The color is so versatile as it is a piece of furniture that continues to grow with him (now that he will be 6 in 4 weeks)! Another aspect I LOVE about Finn's room is the giraffe theme, they're too cute! Bill and Scout are hilarious, I'm sure they keep things fun!

      Love this nursery! Everything is so nice! But I especially like how you got the little vintage giraffe and based the whole room around that. That is amazing! Also how you kept that figurine in your hospital room for inspiration. That is so awesome! Two months in the hospital is difficult but it's great how Dean decorated your room and then you used that in Finn's nursery. It was with you during the rough times and now during the great times!

      Love the contrasting colours of Finn's nursery. You wont have to change the design or scheme as Finn gets older which is a bonus! Love the videos. Am I being selfish if I ask that they be a little longer?...Give me a toe and I'll ask for a foot!! The videos are great, just what I needed to get me through. Thanks again X

      I absolutely love what you did with Finn's nursery. You really give me a different perspective on decorating and I love it. I have to say the temporary wallpaper was huge with me I went to their website right after I watched your first episode. Love documenTORI by the way. Thanks for sharing.
