Bunny

I had so much fun designing this Mid-Century #boho bunny nursery for our baby girl – coming Fall 2021!
Ever since I was a little girl decorating has been my passion. I never actually played with Barbie’s- I designed their living spaces and would create Barbie condos inside our living room bookshelves. When we found out we were having a baby GIRL my creative juices started flowing – THE NURSERY. My pregnancy has had may challenges and her nursery became my happy place and the best distraction ever. I am so grateful.

I wanted our daughter to be surrounded by style, beauty and a touch of charm. I was going for a Mid-Century Modern meets #boho chic vibe. I was on the prowl for wooden, antique brass, macramé and vintage accents. We were fortunate enough to receive that gorgeous #MCM 8-drawer (maple?) dresser, passed down by my husband’s grandparents- which became the focal point of her nursery. I changed out the dresser knobs with a glam white marble/brushed brass style pull. Continuing the Mid-Century mood, we incorporated a white wooden crib with slanted legs and a gold tripod floor lamp in the corner of the room. I was obsessed with West Elm’s velvet curtains, but couldn’t swallow the price, so I found plush faux velvet drapes in Ballet Pink from Amazon for around $45. The bracket shelves were a steal from Ikea and so much fun to style… I found random accessories from TJ Maxx and Target’s dollar spot! The floating shelves above the changing dresser display simple, dainty pictures, candles and a rainbow abacus. I wanted a #Rattan piece displayed above the changing dresser and found this 9″ Rattan mirror from Ikea for only $29.99! The area rug was on sale from Bed, Bath & Beyond in a neutral geometric pattern! I found the cutest mini #Rattan mirrors from a local shop in town called Mis Plantitas. The accordion hook rack was like $6 from Amazon and made for the perfect headband holder. The light grey glider was actually from my son’s nursery and ordered from Wal-Mart (great quality and price) – see his nursery gallery “It’s a Wild World” for the glider link. The side-by side bunny photos are from Amazon – I believe the brand is Kate & Laurel… they are canvases framed in natural wood. Last, but not least- the nesting tables… they were a steal from HomeGoods, tying together the brass accents around the room, like the curtain rod, dresser drawer knobs and closet door handles. For anyone looking to create a darling nursery on a budget- you can do it! It is possible. We found everything from Amazon, Ikea, TJ Maxx, Target, Target’s dollar spot and Bed, Bath & Beyond. My motto is- it’s not what it costs, it’s how you style it. *BIG shoutout to my Uncle Chris for hanging everything for us! Also, our friend Phil for painting her room! Much appreciated!

*Update- We moved. See how I transitioned the nook to a nursery in our baby’s new space.
With my second baby’s nursery, I am working with a much smaller space than I had with my first. As we search for our next home with more space, we are making it work with this small but sweet nursery nook. I learned with my first babe that I will be sleeping in the room with her for several months. Therefore, I decided to create a partial nursery nook/bedroom combo. I created a serene sweet cream and neutral colored room with a touch of florals, bunnies, and sweet woodland friends. Big sis chose a few special touches such as the baby plant, duck, and a few other items making it an extra special project. We also added a precious little stocking since she will be a Christmas babe! I look forward to enjoying this cozy space with our future little lady!

I was so excited to create this space for our daughter when we moved shortly after her first birthday. I am completely in love with anything gold and pink and wanted to go with this theme. Bunny is a nickname I have called her and once I found the wall decals I thought that would be a sweet nod. Honestly I thought they were going to be incredibly difficult to put up but to my surprise, it went very quickly. My biggest advice, just go for it and don’t let planning on paper get you discouraged. Put them on the wall using painters tape to get a general idea first and then start your measuring and sticking!
My daughter loves forts and tents so I thought a teepee would be so fun. I used a combination of tutorials from Pinterest and came up with this one. Most of the supplies were purchased from Lowes and I just spray painted PVC pipes. I love the gold accents and pompoms. I added the pompoms onto the curtains as well to keep theme going. I can say that she plays in her teepee every day and am so glad she enjoys it!
I have been in love with the Rifle Paper Co print of Washington DC and I felt the colors fit our theme perfectly. We have been living in the DC Metro for a couple years now and I enjoy being able to bring our love for the city into the nursery.

I wanted to create a bright and airy space with pops of jewel tone colors. A little bit of gold glitter helped bring it all together.

We celebrated Madelyn’s 1st Birthday with a Peter Rabbit theme

My artist mother – lyndahwrightfineart.com –  and I sketched out silhouettes of Peter Rabbit and his garden, then I painted them.  I wanted something clean and modern but sweet, fun, and ‘gender neutral’ for our surprise baby (girl!).

Simple pale green nursery with touches of pink. 

Since J Mae was born on Easter, we thought it fitting to have a bunny themed party for her first birthday.

This was my son’s 2nd birthday party. 

Just a little something I put together for the kiddies in my family. Full of goodies, toys, and yummy treats.

Blue, white and citrine yellow nursery for baby Matthew, due April 28

This was my first daughter’s nursery. Being my first I put most of my budget into the crib and dresser, but didn’t go overboard. I fell in love with the bedding before I knew that I was having a girl so I was determined to make it work either way. I ended up adding pink accents to the room in addition to the beige color scheme and came out with what most people would say is a Neapolitan looking nursery. Everyone always wants ice cream as soon as they walk in the room.

This is my little girls nursery. This is my first baby and I was over joyed to find out I was having a girl because I had dreamed of putting together her nursery for a very long time.

A classic, gender-neutral nursery featuring soft blues, greens, and cotton tail bunny toile bedding.
