- A Project For: Delaney Elizabeth
- Age: 6 weeks
- Location: Pittsburgh, PA
-
Description:
Our nursery space is on the smaller side, 10' x 10'. We capitalized on usage of space by removing the closet doors to create a changing/ dressing nook. The goal was to make the space comfortable and practical for both baby and parents.
-
Design Inspiration:
By choosing not to know the gender of our baby in advance, most of the room was completed with gender "swinging" colors and patterns. I was inspired by rooms that could grow with a child and had an eclectic feel, rather than an obvious theme. After our daughter's birth we added a few finishing girly touches- rosette pillow, pink changing pad and floral wall letter- to complete the space.

Decorating Style:
My personal decorating style could be labeled as transitional. I love mixing old with new, repurposing items and a good bargain.

Favorite Items:
I love the vintage rocker with the updated upholstery. It is a transitional piece that can be in our home for years, finding purpose in multiple spaces.

Advice:
Don't worry about whether items match! Buy/ make what you like, you will find ways to "bring it all together". Don't be afraid of using non-baby patterns and pieces also.
