Description
I wanted a non-themed but girly room that would age well as Gretchen grows up. I wanted to DIY what I could (art, linens, refinishing my childhood dresser) while also investing in quality pieces that will hold up for future children (crib, glider, bookshelves).
Design Inspiration
The fabric! I had a general color scheme in mind but once I found the fabric for the curtains and crib skirt I officially had my jumping off point (channeling my inner Sarah Richardson!) The colors and circles in the fabric are repeated throughout many of elements of the room.
Decorating Style
I lean towards modern and love pops of color.

Favorite Items
The pennant banner sewn by my best friend, I picked out the fabrics and she did the rest. Looking at it always makes me smile and wish she were here.
Advice
If you want to avoid a themed nursery, focus on fabric. Fabrics are one of the best places to draw your inspiration and pull a non-themed nursery together.

Pretty, girly room. I like the clean look, so I hope it stays that way, knowing you still have a few more weeks to go and have enough time to add more decorative elements.
