This project was purely a labor of love. This room incorporates our love of nature with some newly sourced pieces, as well as, some vintage finds. Even before our little one was a reality, we had been collecting items for this room throughout the years. The room is modern, yet rustic and the aesthetic is consistent with other rooms in our home. We hope this baby loves it as much as we do and can grow into it throughout the years.
We live in a 90 year old bungalow in Seattle, WA. When it came time to design the nursery, I wanted to have some vintage charge to compliment the charerstics of our home like the orignal crown molding and glass door knobs which is why I love the crib so much. It has an antique feel without actually being an old crib. ;) My favorite feature of the room is definitely the wallpaper. It adds a fun pop of color and was so easy to install. With our home being so old, I was worried the walls wouldn’t be level and too textured but this removable wallpaper took about an hour to complete. Since the room is pretty small, the Ikea shelves were a great way to display books without taking up much room. There are a few DIY features of the room including the curtains which were purchased from Target and then my mom and I added a pom trim. We also made the side table by sanding a tree stump our friend gave us. I’m so happy with how the room came out. Our little one loves staring at her wallpaper as we rock her!
When we first found out we were having a boy, I knew I wanted to design a whimsical nursery that reflected my husbands and my love for nature. I envisioned a space brought to life with a landscape of trees, furry animals friends, and magical storybook tales. But it was important to me that the space not only evoked imagination, but also carried a classic sophistication. There were times that I had a hard time balancing the two and remembering that this is a BOYS nursery. I often lean towards feminine and ornate designs so I had to keep myself in check!
My favorite part of the nursery is the mural of trees lining the crib’s wall. I felt like it carried me into a scene of Peter Rabbit and I used that as the inspiration behind the nurseries design. Because it was the focal point, I wanted to find things that were subtle and wouldn’t interfere with it. I kept the furniture a soft white so that the colors in the wall would show through while coordinating with the pops of blue in the patterned rug, pillows, and wall paint. The playful touches like the pom pom trim curtains, woodland animal pillow, and plaid rug kept the space playful while the elegant furniture pieces helped balance the space. Some of the furniture pieces were thrift store finds that I refinished in a shabby chic style. I love finding antique pieces that are unique and tell a story, plus they often save me a lot of money!
The nursery is ready but won’t be complete until our bundle of joy arrives. My hope is that as he grows, he finds this space as special and inspiring as we do and shares our passion for nature and imagination.

Sweet peach….it’s a girly room with soft gray walls, white linen, and peach accents. It was a DIY project and a labor of love for the entire family…my husband and I hand painted all the furniture (except crib), and I handmade the chandelier and mobile. My 13 year old daughter and I made the photo frames and other accessories.
Hollyn’s room is a bright nursery accented by a bright turquoise wall and fun custom coordinating fabrics!
I had the honor of designing my new grand daughter’s room… Layla’s nursery is full of items that were repurposed, reused, sewn, painted and crafted especially for her. Cheerful, sunny and full of vibrant color; it is a room that will “grow” with her.
Our client desired a romantic and serene nursery to welcome their first baby girl – yet they had the challenge of dealing with a low ceilings loft space.
Gray, blush pink and copper, vintage-inspired nursery. Lots of personal/heirloom/hand-made touches throughout.
When we found out we were having our second boy, I embraced the blues and grays and greens I was hesitant to use the first time. Somewhere along the way I noticed that all the accessories were animal or map related (or both in some instances!).
A fun vintage modern nursery for our first born baby. The funky layout of the room forced us to get creative…
A Modern Vintage inspired nursery, with pink, turquoise, and pops of purple…. it’s perfect for a nursery, or a little girls room.
Although this nursery was designed for a boy, I was more interested in it being very sweet and babyish rather than all boy. I used large bows to tie on the bumper, a full bubble style bedskirt, and lush fabrics.
