Dining room repurposed as nursery for two!

Coastal Chic Girls Room

Spring is here and our little one was transitioning into toddlerhood. We wanted to give her a fresh new space she could enjoy and grow into. Spring is absolutely the best time to update an interior space because we wanted to set a new outlook for the coming year. The best way we could think of to give the room a completely new look – is wallpaper! Our vision was soft shapes, light colors, natural wood furniture, and floral wallpaper. The wallpaper used for this project was Livette’s Wallpaper Fern design in the custom colour Clay.
When planning this project we wanted a fresh but boho, vintage vibe. The light wood baby crib and beautiful rust coloured star map ties in together with the boho lamp and decor pieces creating this warm and relaxed look. Adding some greenery livened up the room and created a special touch. The color scheme was neutrals with some pop of colors.  It’s so important to create a safe space for our baby because she will spend most of the time in this room as she grows. We made sure the overall feel was inviting, cozy, playful yet sophisticated.
 

I love everything about our baby girl’s nursery. I wanted to go for a sophisticated, cozy, chic feel for her room. I was able to “shop my home” and use a lot of things I already had. This space was previously her brother’s nursery, so I was easily able to use a lot of the same furniture. We can’t wait to bring her home and watch her grow in this space. 🤍

I was looking for a bright and delicate wallpaper for my daughter’s room and I finally found my dream one. It is a self-adhesive wallpaper and it applied very quickly. The end result turned out amazing.  It fits wonderfully with a beautiful wardrobe, a tulle canopy and wooden accessories.

We are big DIYers and over the last few years, have DIYed a lot of the renovation on our 1960s house. When we found out we were expecting our first child, I knew I wanted to do something fun and special with her nursery. Before we got to the fun stuff like decorating however, the husband did a bunch of research on some bones-work on areas he wanted to improve on the room (things like removing the popcorn ceiling, adding sound-dampening measures to the room etc) and he got to work!
We were gifted a dresser from some friends that had used it with both their kids, so we knew it would be a great project to refresh for our own nursery!
Then, after all that work, it was finally my turn to have fun with designing and painting the nursery (at 33 weeks pregnant too!!)
While I love “themed” rooms and have done my fair share of them in the past, I wanted to design something that would be easy to buy accessories/items for, and not box ourselves into a corner with a too-specific theme. I also wanted to try to design something that in 3-5 years from now, she might still enjoy having as her room.
We are big gardening/nature people, and we also love the feel of mid-century-modern decor, so I took those areas of interest and loosely designed the room around them. I did a combination of MCM and plant shapes for the mural, picked a warm color scheme (most of our house is a combination of warm yellow/green/brown colors as well) and carried that theme throughout the room, by designing and painting some art and unfinished wood decor items to tie the room together!
We’re thrilled with the end result, and it’s been so easy to add items to the nursery, as the colors I used for the mural are very common to find in crib sheets, changing pad covers, baby clothes, stuffed animals etc.

Lots of love went into designing this room. I enjoy a neutral pallet with hints of boho. My goal was to create a calm and peaceful environment for baby boy since we will be spending a lot of time in here. I also grouped items based on age and type. The closet is from ikea and the dividers were purchased from Amazon. Overall, I’m really happy with how it turned out and I can’t wait to make wonderful memories with my little one.
