Eclectic, Feminine, Relaxing - Aqua, Tan, Pinks, White, Yellow - lots of color mixing.
Design Inspiration:
I started the project looking for a stationery crib and fell in love with the two-tone offered through Stanley's Young America line. From there, I decided to make Baby Girl a quilt, and the colors and style came from the collection of fabrics I selected for the quilt.
Decorating Style:
We wanted something that was feminine, but not too young - fit in with the style of our 1940s Cape Cod and had nice little details. We chose tan walls and went with neutral color furniture, so our pops of color would stand out, but the investment pieces would be neutral enough for future little Parkers.
Having the room feel relaxing and cozy was also really important to us.
Project Details:
Crib + Dresser: Young America by Stanley Glider: Monaco II, Little Castle Rug: Overstock.com Hinged Storage Ottoman: Overstock.com (covered lid with matching fabric) Mobile: Drops of Color, Etsy Nightstand: DIY by hubby modifying Ana White plans Floor Lamp: Urban Outfitters Table Lamp: Vintage with new recovered lampshade Paint: Sherwin Williams, Row House Tan (in multiple rooms in our house) Framed Painting: Whimsical painting by baby's Great Grandmother Curtains: Shabby Chic line from Target Curtain Tie Backs: Urban Outfitters
Favorite Items:
The quilt I made AND the crib. We love that it fit our style so well.
Advice:
Take your time collecting things that mean something. We don't have a lot of things in there, but we love all the pieces we have. AND lastly, decide ahead of time the things you want to spend the money on.

I absolutely LOVE your nusery! I love the route you decided to take with the wall color, very different but certainly ties the room together with all the little girly touches. I see so many nurseries with keep going to tiffy/aqua blue color or grey for the walls. This is different but very nicely put together.
Good luck with your baby girl! She is sure to love this room!

That soft felt mobile is gorgeous! And everything in the room, too. It’s simple and elegant, with touches of colors that are mostly light.

Hi! I love your crib and dresser. We are looking at the same ones. Is the wood white (starlight) or creme?
Young America has a preselected color of creme/walnut and can’t decide if I want that or go with white.

I love the colors you chose.

can you please tell me where you got the fabric for the bedding? I love the aqua and coral circles print.
Graphic designer and first time mom! I love feminine details and finding pieces that really speak to me and incorporate those into our home to make it really feel like "us."
I especially love traveling and bringing back special little things from all over.
