A Parisian inspired bedroom fit for a little girl

Vintage Chic Nursery for baby girl

I needed to create a serene and calm space for the 2 girls.  The house is decorated very traditional so I was going for decor that will blend in with the rest of the home.  The room wasn’t too big either. 

Almost 3, London was still sleeping in her baby nursery and in her crib with the front taken off.  It was time for her to feel like a big girl!  With potty training underway and a new baby brother, we wanted to give her a fun space that had TONS of DIY and had a very small budget to do it!

This is our daughter’s first “big girl” room.  Her room is pretty small, but has great light and high ceilings.  The lilac inspiration came from the first color she learned, purple.    We chose to accent with a buttery yellow.  I think we accomplished a super sweet toddler room while avoiding that “kiddie” feel.  It’s classic and cheerful, and has an airy, roomy feeling even though it’s a small room in the corner of our house.  And she loves it! The vertical stripes are easy with a lot of painters tape and the antique bed sits high giving her a princess feel.  I hope Project Gallery readers like it, as we had so much fun putting it together.

Three year old Avery was diagnosed with an inoperable cancerous brain tumor at age two. Her wish through Make a Wish Foundation was to receive a Fairy Garden Playroom for her sister, Maddy and herself. Avery has gone through so very much in her young life and is such a strong, brave little girl. When Make a Wish coordinator, Jenny Hauser contacted me to design this very special girl’s playroom for Avery, we jumped on it. My assistant, Lisa O’Brien and I worked for months meticulously planning the space which included a life-like tree, a custom designed reading nook that we now refer to as the “Fairy Fountain”, a dress up corner, play house, tea table complete with tea set, an art station (not seen in the images, as it was back ordered) and a spot for movie viewing. We solicited the hugely talented Patrice Hoban to paint our fairy mural and she really knocked our socks off with the details! She added glitter and gems and the room really came to life with her vision! We thank Cheryl of Sweet Lullaby for designing and donating the sweet curtains and valances, Chris Jones for designing the Fairy Fountain reading perch, Levels of Discovery for their donation of the tea table and toybox, New Arrivals, Inc for donating the peg hook, and Creative Carpet Design for donating the cute-as -a-button monogrammed rug. Avery and her family have a long road ahead of them. They will continue treatments at St. Jude Children’s Hospital (to whom Jack and Jill Interiors has donated monthly for about 7 years now) and we will continue to love and pray for this wonderful and inspiring family. Please consider donating to St. Jude. Thank you!

Hand painted mural continuing the whole way around the room. The horizon created with the two different blue paints creates a feeling of space making the room feel bigger. Pale blue paint was chosen initially for its calming effect and the bright pink accents in the water lilies remind us this is a little girls room!

I painted this sparkly princess nursery for a family in NYC. It’s painted in soft pinks, greens and purples with rhinestone and glitter accents.
