Description
Soft mocha walls and pale pink accents make for a calming, zen palette. Toss in some crisp white furniture to keep things modern and you have this gorgeous, Japanese inspired nursery. A big congratulations goes out to new mother Jennifer. She not only delivered a beautiful baby girl (January 10th!) but also created a divine nursery just in time for her baby girlās arrival. The challenge was to convert her beloved guest room (we feel the pain) into a relaxing yet space savvy nursery for her new little baby. Jennifer must be a very organized mother because she even had time to fill Project Nursery in on her inspirations and sources for this unique and personal nursery. Thank you Jennifer!
Design Inspiration
My inspiration was nature inspired zen modern ā basically pulled everything l like into one room. I like the look of the modern Oeuf and Dwell nurseries, but didnāt want to spend thousands of dollars on furniture that I will only use for a few years. I tried to imitate the modern look on a budget and pull in a few splurges on things I can reuse after the nursery days are over (like the chandelier and the rocker.) I went economical on items that my baby will outgrow in a few years, like the changing table ($70) and the crib ($300).
Decorating Style
Nature inspired, old and new Japanese design, mid century modern, organic

Hi – Peaberry mocha is more of a peach color. It is not gender neutral – looks girly in person. The ties came with the bedding.
I haven’t tried to sleep two people on the daybed, so not sure. But it sounds like a good idea to position the guests vertically instead of horizontal. I’ll try.

I love your nursery! We’re thinking about getting the same Ikea daybed for our guest room. I was just wondering if you got yours with the mattress in the trundle and if so, if it’s possible to have two guests sleep on it vertically (with their heads on the day bed part, feet down by the trundle part – if that makes any sense?). We’re just wondering if it can be used like a normal double bed, or if each person would have to sleep on each twin mattress (with one being a bit ‘trapped’ through the night).

Have no idea if you’re still checking this, Jenn, but if so:
1. Did you add all of those ties, or did they come with the bedding? 2. Is the bedding truly pink? The advertisement says Peaberry Mocha. I was hoping to emphasize the browns to make it appear more tan (if we have a boy) and play up the pink (if we have a girl). Do you think it’s that versatile? Or girl only? We aren’t finding out, and I’m thinking about ordering this bedding.
Thanks! Gorgeous room!
