Alphabet Zoo Nursery

Description

Welcome to the Skip Hop Nursery Design Event! This nursery was designed by Lay Baby Lay and was inspired by Skip Hop’s Complete Sheet, the Alphabet Zoo Collection. For more information on the design event and for details on how you can win prizes daily click here. - Project Nursery

Design Inspiration

I tried to go with cheery, primary palette to pair with the Skip Hop bedding and accessories.  Brightly colored artwork and white furniture keep the room clean and happy.

Decorating Style

I love using a lot of colors and finding inspirational artwork that is fun for both mama and baby to enjoy.  I usually incorporate a good bit of vintage finds into my rooms and they tend to be somewhat eclectic, but this room is a bit more clean and traditional.

    I’ve worked in day cares for 5+ years. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education. It just makes sense that I’m drawn to the alphabet theme. Skip Hop makes some amazing designs. I can’t wait for our Baby V to have their alphabet nursery.
