I’m a maternity, birth and newborn photographer (www.stefanieharrington.com) in Washington, D.C. We welcomed our third child, Ellen Rose, in mid November and have two boys in elementary school. Having a baby in the house again has been truly wonderful, and we are trying to enjoy every minute.

Modern Nursery with a Pop of Pink

I had a lot of fun designing my baby’s nursery. I wanted the room to feel peaceful, light and airy with a pop of color. I chose white and light grey for the primary colors, and we waited to add either blue or pink touches until the baby arrived. Once we found out that we would be bringing home a little girl, Ellen, the pops of pink were easy to add in. We had the crib still from when our boys were tiny so we purchased some new furniture to complete the room. I bought the rug first and love it so much. It’s really soft, and our little girl spends a lot of time rolling around on it. I agonized over the perfect dresser and think we found a great match to the existing crib. My favorite pieces in the nursery are the flamingo prints from Etsy and the alphabet print that we received as a gift when my older son was a baby. It’s such a bright and sunny room that we love to sit and play in. I plan to add more decorative touches as she grows, because I think the room will transition well into a little girl’s room. I’m constantly on the search for a really large painting but haven’t yet found the perfect match.
