Baby H's Pint-sized Nursery « Project Nursery

A Project For: "Baby H" {Name TBA}
Age: Due 7.30.2012
Location: Issaquah, WA
Description:
A pint-sized, non-gender specific nursery created with oodles of love! Working with a small space to incorporate high function, storage, pattern and design. Many projects are DIY and were attainable on a tight budget.
Design Inspiration:
I wanted a nursery that wasn't 'themed' but was still playful and would inspire creativity and imagination. It was important to me that it wasn't commercial looking and had more of a handmade, custom look. I centered the design around bold graphic patterns like polka dots, chevron stripes and a fresh color scheme of aqua, gray, yellow, and white. My first purchase was the owl stuffed animal from an Etsy artist and my room evolved from there, using the colors in this playful creature to compliment my color scheme.
Decorating Style:
Eclectic and modern with a pop of vintage elements and graphic, colorful patterns.
Project Details:
DIY Projects: Curtains & Cornices, ceiling painting, salvaged barn pendant light, repainted IKEA dresser with Anthropologie knobs for changing table, button 'H' artwork.
Furniture: White Stackable Storage furniture, Crib Bedding and Zebra Storage Bin- Land of Nod, Dresser - IKEA, Assorted white frames - IKEA, Chevron floor pouf - Etsy, Wall Art - Etsy, Giraffe Bust & Dresser Knobs - Anthropologie, Jenny Lind Crib, Babyletto Glider
Favorite Items:
I love the ceiling, it was a labor of love completed by my husband. It's the defining feature of the room in my mind and what our baby will spend the most time looking at. It's fun and gives the room a graphic punch.
Advice:
Pick a color scheme of 2-3 colors and stick with it. Pick an inspiration piece whether it's a fabric, pattern or piece of art and work off it. This will help keep your design cohesive. Add in pops of color to keep the design fresh and fun. Furniture can be customized with paint and new hardware and it's function can also be modified based on your needs. Above all else, make it a room that your child can be inspired by and grow with.

Love it! This is a similar style to what I will be going for. I love the colors and that it doesn’t scream “girl!” or “boy!”. Love the quirky animals and prints. Nicely done!

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for all of the room love, I can’t wait for our little one to arrive and enjoy it. Here are a few answers to the questions you asked:

The glider is the Naro Glider by Babyletto. We ordered it through Amazon.

The Fabric came from fabricguru.com – Premier Prints Suzani Printed Cotton Drapery Fabric in Summerland/Natural

The wall paint is BEHR paint in “Gentle Rain”

The alphabet print was purchased from Fab.com from one of their sales but I have seen this print at Land of Nod but for a much higher price.
