his lovely new nursery.
For any expecting parent, outfitting a nursery is a big deal. When you're in the home
renovation business, it's even more serious. Fortunately, Tarek and Christina
tackled this project as they usually do — together.
Tarek and Christina moved their daughter Taylor into a bedroom in their Southern
California home with a bigger bathroom, and went about transforming her old space
into something new. Inspiration came to Tarek almost immediately.
"He said the one thing he really wanted was a baseball theme," Christina recalled of
Tarek's initial input. "I thought the cutest thing I could do is vintage baseball." That
meant buying vintage baseballs, a bat, and mitt on Etsy. Denim curtains, which
recall old players' uniforms, are on the way.
The end result is in keeping with the entire home's "rustic­y glam" feel. "I even put a
chandelier in the baby's room," Christina said, happily. "It has a spherical shape,
which ties in with the theme. I have a jillion chandeliers in my house, so I wanted
this room to have a cool light."
Another eye­catching feature in the room is the multi­colored statement wall. The
project incorporated four different hues of reclaimed wood all sourced from a
nearby businessWarren Christopher Fine Floor Coverings, which is conveniently
owned by one of Christina's friends.
"I showed her some pictures I found online," Christina explained. "And she brought
over a ton of samples. She knew I wanted to do a vintage baseball theme and that I
wanted to incorporate a little bit of blue. She found every single wood, and they used
a metallic blue color on some of the pieces. I fell in love with that." Tarek and
Christina added letters found at RH Baby & Child to spell out their son's name, a
decor touch they also used in big sister Taylor's room.
The room is one baby Brayden will be able to enjoy for many years — not that he'll
be the only one.
"The mom spends a lot of time in the nursery," she said. "I'll be on the rocking chair,
feeding, doing stories. It should be a room I think is cool and cute too — not

something that I want to get out of."

The el Moussas spelled out Brayden's name using RH Baby & Child Vintage
Industrial Letters($19 each). The letters rest atop a wood feature wall featuring
pieces from Warren Christopher Fine Floor Coverings.

Keeping with the vintage baseball theme, a trio of onesies hang from a vintage bat
rack. The space was complete with the addition of the RH Baby & Child Newton
Pendant ($299).

Christina and Tarek's daughter Taylor can't wait to be a big sister. She tried out
Brayden's crib, which, like all the large furniture in the room, is from Newport
Cottages.
