Soft & Subtle Animal Nursery « Project Nursery

A Project For: Beck
Age: Coming in January!
Location: Dallas, Texas
Description:
My goal was to create a soft and sweet nursery that still maintained a level of sophistication that matched the rest of the house. I had a general idea in my head, but it came together over several months and I can't wait to bring our new son home to his room.
Design Inspiration:
I knew I wanted a soft blue and green palate, but the addition of the different types of animals just happened. I planned to work with a decorator for the cornice boxes, but ended up making them myself out of foam board.
Decorating Style:
I tend to use a transitional style to decorate with elements of mid-century or regency style. I think the nursery is more traditional than other parts of the house, but it just felt like the right style for the nursery.
Project Details:
Creating a style board before I started made a huge difference.
- The bedding and rug are from Serena and Lily.
- Crib is Restoration Hardware.

I just love the soft and muted colors you used, especially the pale green. I also like the elephants and giraffes. Is that an elephant-shaped storage bin beside the changing table? Where did you get that? It’s so cute!

Hi,

It’s actually an elephant laundry hamper. I got it at Home Decorators Collection. Here is the link: http://www.homedecorators.com/detail.php?parentid=46892&aid=froogle&CAWELAID=87072988

This nursery is simple, beautiful and classy. I like how spacious it is. You didn’t overdo your decor, so it’s got plenty of space to breathe in. I like that monogrammed pillow on the glider, by the way.

I bought the table on onekingslane.com, which is a flash sale site. I actually bought the lamp at Home Goods.

Jamie,

Yes, the glider is the Little Castle Monaco glider. I’m really happy with it. So easy to customize and it’s really comfortable.

Eileen,

Hi, I actually got the frames through the wholesale framer I use. If you’re close to DFW, let me know, they are great and have fabulous prices for custom framing.
