This nursery was created for my daughter, Ella. I knew I wanted to work with a yellow and gray color scheme and then add in touches of pink. The room is very small and though I had a lots of ideas, I tried not to clutter it up but keep it simple and add lots of homemade touches to treasure along with some modern items that she can grow up with and aren’t so ‘baby.’
I have finally put Violet’s nursery together to my liking! Her room is such a happy place. I really wanted to provide her with a bright room full of lovely color and great art.
Dahlia’s colorful nursery gives her a view of the world. The walls are covered in Cavallini Papers & Co. calendar art that I mounted and hung on the wall. A cozy green rocker sits in the corner next to ikea bookshelves filled with blankets, toys and trinkets. Red vases from my baby shower, covered in a chic fabric, sit on top of the shelves. A pink flowered mirror gives the illusion of a bigger room and the green walls make me feel happy every time I walk in. The white sleigh crib is fitted with Dwell bedding and a Thomas Paul rug of a mama bird feeding her baby bird rests on the floor.
We love a good blend. I’m not talking about a great Bordeaux or California red, I’m talking nursery design. Blending styles makes a room so interesting. Arizona based mom-to-be, Valerie pulled from both romantic and modern styles to create a stunning nursery for her daughter Serafina who is set to arrive any minute. Love the yellow accent wall and gold pouf.
I’m all about getting the biggest bang for your buck so I totally understood when mom Joanna shared her vision to create a nursery with a some longevity past the baby stage. A modern yet fun space for her baby girl, Marin, just born this past October that could last through her toddler years. She picked out a sophisticated color palette of raspberry and lime and set off to find all the pieces to fill the dream nursery for her daughter. We knew it would turn out stylish since Joanna has an Etsy shop filled with beautiful pillows for the home.
Mom Brooke developed her own mantra while designing her baby’s nursery – the 3 C’s: Clean, Calm and Comfortable. We like to refer to this nursery design as Chic, Clutter-free and the best C of them all, Cost-Effective. Our favorite element? The cabinets that flank the sides of the crib. Now that’s Clever design!
Wide pink stripes, a fairy mural and custom furniture make up this girly room that comes to us all the way from Germany. Rosa, mother to Stella and Vicky, came up with the design of the room and with a few DIY projects on her plate she was able to create a room that’s a little bit country and a little bit sweet. Here’s all the details.

Today’s Real Room makes Melisa and I two proud bloggers. The parents-to-be came across an alphabet themed wall from one of our past Real Room posts and it proved to be the inspiration they needed when designing their unborn baby’s nursery. They are waiting to find out the baby’s gender (so fun!), who is due on Mom’s birthday (double fun!) and wanted to be sure the nursery was filled with vibrant energy. I have to say I absolutely love what they did with the lime green dresser, its given me a bit of inspiration to update my daughter’s nursery furniture to make it new again. Welcome to Alphabet City!
Our friend Lesley David of Paint Your Space finally gave us an insider look at her seven year old son Logan’s room. If you have followed Project Nursery in the past you know we totally swoon over horizontal stripes. So of course we loved what Lesley did with Logan’s walls. The stripes allowed her to make Logan’s room feel preppy and put together but got that unexpected kick she yearns for when designing a room. Lesley gives us all the details on Logan’s room including the great paint colors and DIY projects!
What aspiring little princess doesn’t love the color pink, a crystal chandelier and sparkly butterflies? When planning her daughter Taylor’s nursery, mom Shannon was leaning toward traditional decor but also wanted to create a room filled with soft, feminine touches and a sprinkle of fantasy. Tailored wide beige stripes where painted on the walls and hand-painted trees where added in the corners to bring the fantasy feel into the room. Soft white furniture was chosen and pink window treatments add a finished look . Taylor is one lucky little lady to have such a beautiful room to dream in. After all she is mom’s number one little princess!
Little 2 month old Liam is one lucky dude. Thanks to his mother’s love of great patterns, Liam enjoys a bright and edgy room inspired by the modern and luxe designs of Missoni. I too love their textiles and home collection and am still upset over a set of pillows I didn’t snatch up while on a London holiday years ago. Guess I’ll have to get my Missoni fix with this fun nursery mom Jill made possible by mixing big ticket splurge items with some great steals.
To guest room or not, that is the question! For many of you space is a challenge and adding a baby to the family can often mean losing the coveted guest room. Project Nursery reader Stephanie had another idea for her guest room. She chose to make the room a combo nursery for her daughter Nora and a working guest room. When the room is needed for guests, baby Nora bunks up with mom and dad and guests enjoy a lovely custom bed which matches the nursery’s dark pink, brown and tan color scheme. Here is how Stephanie created this bold and contemporary room for Nora and her fans who come to visit.
A fresh coat of paint is my absolute favorite way to not only update a room but to add a little drama. Sarah, mother to three-month old Griffin, must agree. By painting the room a warm shade of cafe-au-lait, she created a rich backdrop for an elegant and sophisticated nursery. Inspired by Dwell’s Circles crib bedding, Sarah used a few old pieces from other rooms in the house alongside the new crib, glider and rug to get a clean and eclectic feel. Other finishing touches include a bookshelf made by Griffin’s grandfather and vintage family photos in crisp white frames. The alphabet cards positioned above the crib add just the right touch of modern. Read on for more details.
