French Inspired Nursery

I am due with my first child on 2/3, a little girl named Vivienne (Vivi for short). My inspiration piece was the Medina wallpaper from @anewalldecor. I love how bohemian and eclectic it is! From there, I found the French inspired antique white crib and matching changing table from RH Baby, and the rest of the design seamlessly fell into place! Some of the artwork on the walls were sourced from local boutiques in my hometown of Memphis, TN. Pottery Barn Kids was my other retailer for her bookshelf, diaper caddy, and bedding items such as the crib sheet and Monique Lhuillier blush bed skirt. A photo of my later mother is hanging atop her bedroom door, to keep watch over her and protect her. The navy corner hutch is a piece my late grandfather built in the 1980s, that my husband and I refinished in 2020. We are just in love with how this space turned out, and can’t wait to meet our little bundle of joy oh so soon!!

This nursery came together so seamlessly… it all started with a whimsical mural that inspired a blush pink, mauve and yellow colour palette — a combination that i’ve completely fallen in love with. When we started layering in some of the accessories, like the cute bow mobile, Magnolia Home low-pile rug, bold & unique cushions, and whimsical art, the vision really started to take shape. My Clients wanted a bright space that still felt soft and calming, and we accomplished just that. The glider, acylic crib and jenny lind bookcase bring in some really interesting shapes, textures and materials, which are musts in any space that I design. I adore how this nursery feels like a little ray of sunshine… so bright & warm!

When I found out I was having another little girl, I began dreaming, pinning, and thinking about how I wanted her nursery to be. I didn’t get to do all this planning/nesting/shopping with my previous twin pregnancy.. their nursery randomly came together while on the thrones of bed rest. I ordered things online thinking and hoping it would all ‘work’ together. This go round I was excited at the thoughts of bringing my ideas for her room to life – but really being able to have a first hand into creating it from scratch.  I have a love for all things vintage, and any time I searched for themes and nursery ideas with that in mind, the French Vintage theme kept popping up. I wanted it to be pretty ‘girly’ for this little princess, but with a touch of the vintage side her mama loves so much.

When we found out we were having a girl, my husband immediately drew the nursery he wanted to create on a piece of printer paper.  Every idea was his (he’s never even been on Pinterest or anything like that) and he did an amazing job.

Welcome to my beautiful daughter’s nursery! She is expected to be here June 2014!

Soft, feminine nursery with vintage inspiration and a French touch.

I wanted a clean classy look as it is for our first born and I wanted something that could easily be carried onto our second child what ever gender. Also I felt so much more warmth and love in the classy vintage look than with a cartoon or more fun themed nursery.

A calm, relaxing and texturally soft neutral nursery.

A classy little lady’s room awaits with all things pink and gray, ruffles, and of course a little bit of sparkle.
