Sydel Curry-Lee and NBA star husband Damion Lee can’t wait for their son to “feel at home” in his nursery.

“We want this to be his place of solace, a safe space for him to rest and feel at home,” Curry-Lee tells PEOPLE exclusively while sharing the first photos of his nursery.

Curry-Lee and the Golden State Warriors player chose a deep green color to decorate the nursery, which the first-time mom says is “calming.”

“We’re having a little boy, and I’m not much of a blue kind of girl,” Curry-Lee says. “I wanted to keep a neutral tone but with a pop of color. The forest green adds that kid-friendly aspect, and it’s calming.”
