Nash’s camping themed 1st birthday party was such a treat to plan! The theme was easy to stick with, and I was able to piece most of it together with things I already had. We also lucked out with a beautiful fall day in Kansas!
A neutral safari nursery in a vintage home accented with the sweetest safari details and textures.
The Challenge..? Most standard metal or wood dresser knobs feel a bit dangerous for babies who are exploring, cruising and learning to walk. Our daughter kept putting her mouth over the semi-sharp metal knobs and since she is so wobbly on her feet we imagined her falling and chipping her little teeth. Since we knew we had to get rid of the metal knobs we soon came up with a surprisingly beautiful alternative.
This collection was designed for a friend of mine who supported my dream of starting my own line of nursery bedding & decor! The crib sheet, crib skirt, blanket, pillow and curtains are all original and exclusive designs for my new line, Rock & Rollick which launches this spring of 2016.
While I was pregnant, my husband and I decided early on to wait until our baby’s birth to find out the gender. Because of this, deciding how to decorate a nursery was a bit of a challenge. Neutrals are great, but being someone who loves color and lots of it, I knew an all white and gray nursery wasn’t for me. I decided to decorate the nursery in black, white, and grey with lots of patterns and textures and throw in the whole color wheel to brighten things up.
Alessio’s mom was non-negotiable when it came to the use of bold colours. The colour black was the basis to work from and the outcome guided us to this combination of red, black red and white.
Classic Winnie the Pooh nursery with a touch of gold glam perfect for our little girl! Color palette is white and gold with pops of aqua and hints of pink. I didn’t go over the top with the Winnie the Pooh theme but it is definitely present in the space!
When I started to plan my baby girl’s nursery, I was not sure where to begin or what I had pictured for her. I knew I wanted a room with serene neutral walls with pops of color that could represent her vibrant personality. After 9 gray paint samples on the wall (there really are 50 shades of gray), I finally chose the winner and got to painting still without a final image in my head of how it would all turn out. I decided on stripes for one wall because I had seen so many pictures of nurseries with stripes and just fell in love. Two words: Frog Tape! It took one day to get those stripes perfected. After that, I just slowly started buying pieces I loved centered around the bedding I picked out and it all came together with hints of coral, mint, and gold.
