Baby Girl nursery

We didn’t know if we were having a boy or a girl so we set out to plan a nursery that kept all the larger design elements neutral and allowed us to bring in lots of colour through accessories and art once we met the baby. We happily had a baby girl and have since had lots of fun personalizing her room for her. The focus has been on colour, handmade elements and a few items that have been passed down to her from generations past. All in all it’s a cheerful room that we hope she’ll be happy with for the next few years.

Started with the color and my Nanas lamp and designed from there

Aqua and yellow brighten this happy nursery designed with love for a happy little girl.

We changed our small playroom into a nursery for our second child-a girl.  I wanted to create a welcoming bright space that maximized space with various storage solutions.  I saw tissue pom poms used above the crib in other blogs/websites and thought that was a fantastic take on the classic mobile.

I wanted the room to be pretty, but playful. I knew I would be spending lots of time in the nursery, so I wanted it to be a room I would enjoy – it quickly became my favorite room in the house! There is a lot of lavender in nursery decor, but very little purple! When I found the purple sheets with the white elephants from Land of Nod I quickly grabbed them. Then the elephant theme came to life. My father-in-law and my husband painted the green stripes, which I knew I wanted from the very beginning. I found the purple ruffle curtains and various purple, green and elephant items along the way. But even with all the fun items I compiled for the room, something was needed to pull it all together. That’s where Grandma came in with the gift of a custom made quilt, which incorporated both the purples and greens and completed the nursery.

When we found out we were having our second baby I knew I wanted to do something fun in her nursery but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I wanted something original, pretty, relaxing and budget friendly.
We kept the crib that belonged to our older daughter and I painted it a pretty shade of teal.  A neighbor was getting rid of a changing table and offered to give it to me for free! I paint furniture for a living and I knew a couple coats of paint could make this old furniture pretty. I mixed a custom shade of yellow and painted the changing table and side table to match. I originally wanted to paint the crib teal and the changing table coral but the coral paint wasn’t covering like I wanted. I had to improvise and go with another color which turned out to be a custom shade of yellow. It wasn’t my original vision but I love how it turned out.
I made the paper garland’s and faux embroidery hoops from supplies I had on hand. The hoops are made with diaper boxes, scrapbook paper, hot glue and ribbon. I also wanted a one of a kind crib skirt. I have no clue how to sew so I found tutorials online and made a no-sew crib skirt.
I think everything came together beautifully and it was all done without breaking the bank.

Baby girl nursery on a budget.  I wanted a nursery that had girly aspects without the flowers and butterflies.   I had a very small room to work with so it was very important not to get to many pieces of furniture in the room to avoid over crowding.

Sweet T’s nursery was designed around the loose theme of kites and dandelions. I wanted the nursery to fit in with the style of the rest of our house, which is contemporary with clean lines, yet still feel fun and playful.

We put in Brazilian hardwood floors. We added a glamorous chandelier, a bookshelf wall, bright pink elephants accented by floor to ceiling chevron grey curtains. It is truly my new favorite room in the house!

The moment I found out I was having a girl, I  knew I wanted her room to be girly and nothing themed! I began searching  online for inspiration and the Finley bedding was what kept catching my attention. I kept with the colors in the bedding for the wall color and other accents in the room.

I wanted to create a simple, elegant, and romantic nursery for our sweet baby girl.  I chose soft pinks and layered them throughout the room.

With our third baby on the way, we decided that this time we didn’t want to find out the gender, as we had with our first two (a boy and then a girl). So, I designed a gender neutral nursery that could have the final (gender specific) touches after baby arrived.

We didn’t know if we were having a boy or girl until the baby came so the paint, furniture and bedding were purchased to work for either a boy or girl.

I wanted to create a very girly pink and grey nursery on a budget.

We wanted a room that wasn’t too girly and also didn’t want a theme. I did want to incorporate a giraffe in honor of my grandma that past a few years ago and who had a love for giraffes. Once people knew that we ended up with a lot of giraffes for baby Hannah!

I wanted a cute, girly nursery for Ellie. I also had a small budget to work with.  I started with the gray walls, then picked the bedding that I loved.  I loved the idea of soft pink in her room, and knew I did not want a character theme, but something that could grow with her.

From the moment I knew I was pregnant, I had a feeling I was having a girl. When it was confirmed at 18 weeks that in fact I was having a girl, I went to town. It’s funny that I am not a Pink person myself, but I just loved the look of hot pink and turquoise with gray. Slowly but surely it all came together and now Emma has a place that hopefully she will grow up in. I wanted to put together a room that wouldn’t be just for her infant years, and I think (hope) I have succeeded.
