Baby Girl nursery

I wanted something girly, but not your traditional princess theme.

I knew when I was pregnant with my daughter that I wanted to a nursery that was fun, playful, creative and not too gender specific….after all, I did want to be able to re-use most of the items with a second baby and also pick furniture that would be in our home forever and transition into a bigger child’s room. I was also excited to have a blend of vintage but functional pieces – a nursery that was a bit more unexpected, had some character and pieces that had more soul to them. I worked with Toronto-based Interior Design firm Draw Me a Sheep Inc. They really understood my concept and inspiration from the beginning and made the project a really fun, smooth experience.

Initially designed as a gender neutral nursery with added “pink” and custom elements after my daughter Mia was born.  Mia’s nursery is a mix match of bright colors on a neutral background of grey.  It has a combination of modern elements, DIY projects, and cheap/cool finds.

This nursery on the Upper East Side in Manhattan is a bright, neutral, kid-friendly room with plenty of storage. The sheepskin rug keeps things soft while the wallpapered ceiling gives it some edge. Crystal knobs and a gold sunburst mirror add a touch of glam to bring the space together.

I wanted Emelin’s room to be cheery, happy and filled with love. It was important for me to use items that held sentimental value to me.

I wanted to have a room for a baby girl we were expecting but I did not want to give up having a guest room in our 3 bedroom home. So I had to design a nursery shared with a queen sized bed for when we had guests.

I started collecting ideas for a travel-themed nursery well before I found out that I was pregnant. My husband and I both love to travel and can’t wait to share our adventures with our children someday. We had a great time selecting the items for the room and putting everything together. Hopefully, this room will inspire our little girl to go out and see the world!

I worked with an existing wall color and started with the main colors of bright blue, magenta and yellow.  I wanted the “theme” to be cheerfulness captured through patterns.  For the most part the it was a DIY project.

Wallpaper inspired nursery designed by my boyfriend and I for our first child.

With our first child, Chase, I had preterm labor and was on bed rest.  Chase ended up coming three weeks early.  So, I never really got to put his nursery together the way I wanted.  However, any pieces we bought for the nursery I tried to make sure it would work for either a boy or girl as we planned on having a second child.  About two months after Chase turned one, we found out we were expecting.  When we found out it would be a girl, I wanted to make sure this time around I would have everything ready.  This wasn’t too lofty of a goal since they would be sharing a room.  This is actually their second room since we recently moved back to Southern California from San Francisco.  This room is actually a lot smaller than the one they had in San Francisco.  However, it helped me pare down all their things and focus on key pieces for the room.

This used to be our home office and when we found out we were expecting, we knew it would be the perfect space for a nursery!  We started cleaning it out right away and found the most amazing light mint green paint from Valspar, which was the first thing we did.

Custom designed nursery for Brooklyn.  Hot pink, lime green, turquoise, black & white.  Barbie art & DIY Barbie sunburst mirror.  Upholstered twin bed & turquoise crib.  Design & color palette intended to grow with the child.

Fun, bright nursery with a girly twist.  The room is pretty tiny though, with 2 windows so it was challenging getting everything to fit!  It’s cozy but we like it.

When I found out I was having a baby girl, I knew I wanted her room to be very special and full of character and of course designed with lots of love by me. i knew gray and purple Where exactly the colors I wanted. I love pink but not on my walls or as decor. I wanted her to have a girlie room rather than a babyish room. I’m in love with chevron so i incorporated some of that in there as well. I am proud to say I did everything in her room. From putting furniture together to painting at 8 months pregnant. I felt like superwoman.

Vintage Modern nursery for baby girl.

A cheerful nursery filled with DIY projects because we wanted to put a touch of love and creativity into maximizing this small space for our baby girl. I’ve never really been a fan of traditional pinks, purples, or themes in nurseries, so I chose some fun colors and textures to make it unique. Saving a spot above the crib for the Top Secret name . . . coming soon!

Remember when we were young and we shaped, defined, and questioned our own world? We created our own ideas of circles, dots, and lines. Nothing was straight; colors were mixed; brushes were happily damaged, and crayons lived on the floor. We were free from rules. Everything was exciting and nothing was wrong.
At NUMI NUMI Design we draw inspiration from our childhoods.  We never stop being curious because we love to ask questions and experiment. We are dedicated to exploring new ideas about the form and texture of children’s furniture. Our products encourage children and parents to enjoy unique use of shape, form, and transparency.
 

Even though we live in the Midwest, we love the beach and anything nautical and wanted to bring a little bit of that to our home with Lainey’s nursery. It’s a modern, girly version of nautical décor…with a hint of pirate whimsy. Custom pieces combined with catalog finds and vintage books create this darling room.
