I was excited and looking forward to this week’s Sarah 101 show for two reasons; yes, for the obvious, it was a boy’s room but I also love the blue & orange combination. If you have followed her as I have via her earlier shows she’s always delivered stylish nurseries staying clear of babyish or overly themed decor items… love it! Here’s a look the modern, ultra sophisticated boy’s nursery Sarah showcased last night.

Intrigued? Here are 3 Take A Ways on how you can achieve a sophisticated room that will grow with your child.
- Add pattern to the ceiling
- Experiment with complimentary colour palette
- Go bold with fabrics and consider spraying vintage furniture to make it work for you
A few other things to keep in mind… Think Double Duty – evaluate furniture selections keeping in mind how they can serve for the immediate need and in the future. Art you can Afford – be creative! Frame $3.00 flashcards (as Sarah did), use pages of a favorite story book or DIY finger painting artwork is always fun. Link the Elements – play with pattern via wallpapers, fabrics and/or paint. Sarah’s attributes mixing fabrics (pattern & scale) as part of her signature style. In this case, she had 11 fabrics in the room - amazing!
Once HGTV updates their website, I’ll update the Sarah 101 button (on the sidebar) with the new video!

OMG this is one of the sweetest rooms ever!! I love the colour mix:) Hugs and kisses

I'm doing a nursery right now so this is all very helpful! Thank you!! Looks gorgeous
I was excited to watch this episode as well as we are planning a nursery for two and I caught it early yesterday at lunch but I have to say that personally this just did not wow me... it honestly kind of hurt my eyes. I usually love her style. I do think the tips were great though about not buying all of the "baby" furniture pieces that will last you for such a short time and instead buying lasting items.
I loved parts of this one- loved the lights, loved the idea of a papered ceiling (but not sold on this paper) and loved the blue/orange combo (and in particular the chair)- I wasn't sold on the whole thing together though- I didn't love the stripes and I agree with the commenter above, it seemed a little busy or something. Enjoyed the show though and thanks for the great recap.
Another amazing makeover by Sarah! I was so impressed! The room was definitely busy, but in a good way I think.
It was such a great episode - I heart Sarah & Tommy!
Love them and love the show. Sarah has always been one of my favorites. I want a farmhouse and a cottage after seeing how beautifully she transformed hers.
I love the idea to add pattern to the ceiling!!
Luvs!
Great round-up of last night's show :-) I love the wallpapered ceiling and the stripes on the wall and the curtains with the ball fringe.... OK, I love it all! :-)
The cool thing is that even though this is a nursery, pretty much everything Sarah & Tommy did could be incorporated into any room in your house.
Loved the color scheme and the drapes. The pops of orange were what sold me on it!
