Cora Christine’s Nursery

Description

Colorful Treetop Friends

Design Inspiration

A lot of my inspiration came from the wonderful projects on this website! Other than that though, the basic concept was to start with a neutral canvas (grey walls and white furniture) so that I could add color that would pop. The theme is inspired by Jonathan Adler's Skip Hop Treetop friends, so the decals, curtains and rug are all some variation of the forest and its flora and fauna.

Decorating Style

Colorful, modern, clean, bright.

Favorite Items

The windchime over Cora's crib. My mom got it in Catalina 4 years ago when my husband I got married. But of course my favorite item in the nursery is our daughter. :)

Advice

Don't be afraid to experiment with color! Also, use push pins on the wall to keep the embroidery hoops up. Not only does it make putting them up easy and flexible, it also allows me to reach up and grab any one of them when Cora is on the changing table. She is mesmerized by the patterns. They're also great fans for her little tush!
