Adelaide’s Yellow and Gray Nursery

Description

I wanted to design a nursery that wasn't too cutesy so that it would grow with Adelaide through the years. I also wanted it to be comfortable and soothing.

 

Design Inspiration

 A friend of mine had a yellow and gray wedding which I thought was gorgeous so that inspired my color scheme. I also have a new found love for elephants so I threw some in for good measure!

Decorating Style

I am pretty practical when it comes to design. Furniture needs to be comfortable and functional not just pretty to look at!

Favorite Items

The fabric is my absolute favorite. It was the first thing I picked out and it all flowed from there. My mom made all of the bedding for the daybed and the crib so that is very special to me.

Advice

Don't spend a fortune on the crib. I spent the most on fabric which made  the biggest impact. I also add touches like new knobs to help make the dresser look more custom.

I love your chair, but it doesn't have the same arms as the Little Castle Valentino glider. Did you reupholster yourself?? I noticed there is no pleating

Rebecca,

We have the same dresser knobs for our yellow and gray themed nursery. You can also purchase them from World Market.

Fabulous nursery! Did your mother also make the gray coverlet on the day bed? If so, where did you find the fabric? Thanks!
