TheDancing with the Starspro, 27, is giving PEOPLE an exclusive look inside her son’snursery— and sharing the special significance behind the decor.
“The designing process was so much fun and so exciting,” Carson, who worked withLindy Allen from Four Chairs Furnitureon the design, tells PEOPLE. “We pulled inspiration photos and color palettes we both loved and let our minds go from there. We wanted it to be neutral but warm and different than any boys nursery we’ve seen.”
“We added earth tone textures in the dresser, and a touch of olive green for the crib to make it stand out,” she adds. “Carson [McAllister] and I built the accent wall that the crib is in front of to add a personal touch. We spent days nailing the boards on the wall, sanding and painting. It was amazing to be able to build something with our own hands for our son.”

“I just loved getting to celebrate this special time in my life with loved ones,” she told PEOPLE. “I didn’t think it would be possible with a pandemic and we almost canceled it altogether, but we figured out a safe way to celebrate still. It was so magical!”
Carson added that “family has meant everything to me throughout this pregnancy.”
