Cactus Dreams Nursery

I wanted to create a space for our first baby (it’s a girl!) that we would love spending time in. A room that would be cozy and cute for our little one. I love that this room has a touch of modern and boho but is still girly and unique. It incorporates all of my favorite design styles! The walls in this room were already painted a light pink from our home’s previous owners. I wanted to do an accent wall so we painted one wall white and added the Lucca Cactus Wall Decals! I am obsessed with how it turned out and just one set of the decals was the perfect amount for the accent wall. Plus they were super easy to apply! Although the decals are probably my favorite aspect of the room, I also love the Nyla Changing Basket (and knew I wanted a changing basket versus a changing pad from the moment I started getting inspiration for a nursery) and the sweet canopy that will create a fun reading nook for when our girl is a bit older. We can’t wait for our little girl to be here and know that she will love this room as much as we do!

Boho + Farmhouse Baby Nursery

When decorating my children’s spaces, I always look for ways to incorporate the modern farmhouse style of the rest of our home with the whimsy of a child’s space. For this nursery, I knew I wanted to give a vintage feel to the space, so we installed a shiplap wall (which is found in other parts of our home), but in the nursery we installed it vertically. I felt like this gave the space a retro look to correlate with the other rattan and vintage inspired pieces in her room. I love soft and warm neutrals so I knew I wanted to start with a simple white canvas and add subtle colors in small areas of the room.
I also absolutely love shopping with small businesses, especially those run by other moms, and really enjoyed culling little pieces from these shops.  Her room is an eclectic mix of goods from all over the world, and I love to think about all of the creative women who crafted them with love, all while supporting their families.  My hope was to create a soothing space that not only looked pretty, but also was unmistakably a child’s room filled with my daughter’s little treasures. We hope you love these boho and farmhouse baby nursery decor ideas!

Tea Party Chic – Girl’s Bedroom

After working with Leah’s mom in designing their family room and kitchen a few years early, she contacted me to redesigned Leah’s bedroom. She wanted a space that wasn’t all about trademarked princess but a room that Leah would love now and could grow into.  After talking with Leah I found out that she really wanted a canopy, that and the room to have sleepovers:)

A Cub’s Personal Savannah

The couette cover represented a Family of giraffes, so we decided on  painting the sky  and the trees to create an open sky, savannah effect. We add some decals of savannah animals, a wooden giraffe and a few other items to bring everything together. We added the circular red mat to just pop some madness in there and get away from the safe coordinating colours and as usual for some reason the madness always works. We then added some red siblings in the form of the baskets etc.

Elephants and Coral Umbrellas

I wanted to create a unique nursery for my baby girl that would grow with her, but still incorporate a bit of whimsy.  Rather than choose a theme, my design of this nursery developed organically, as I found various pieces that would work together without appearing too “matchy-matchy.”  Working with a variety of shades of gray was a learning experience – who knew there were so many?  And finding the perfect punchy coral color might as well be akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.  Fortunately, I met a lot of helpful people along the way who turned my dreams into reality.  Thanks to the other Project Nursery members for sharing their design ideas.  Those too served as great sources of inspiration!
