Ariella’s nursery is a soothing oasis of coral pink, pale aqua, and bright white, & combines many hand crafted items from artists across the country.  The main focal wall stencil behind the crib is a uniquely Moroccan pattern, but when combined with other traditional and vintage shapes, it takes on a whole new style of its own.  Custom painted vintage frames hung above the changing table create a second focal point of their own without competing with the main feature wall, and simple details pull the room together for a cohesive look.

      Where did you find the punch colored throw that is photographed on the crib? I have the same serena & lily bedding for my little girl and have been looking for one to match!

      Melissa,

      Melissa, I had the punch colored throw made for me by a girl on Etsy, her shop is Baby Beulah Boutique. The fabric is called Coral Minky Dot, and yes, it is so soft and matches the Serena and Lily bedding exactly! I also had a boppy cover made out of the same fabric as well!

      Hi there- I was just curious, did you just brush on the paint for the target mirrors? I finally found three of them, but I am nervous to paint them because they are more of a plastic. I guess it would just take a few coats. Also with the frames, did you just order them all and them paint them yourself? LOVE this nursery.

      I just love the room its really nice and executed well!!! I was wondering where did you find the fan and wall clock?

      Kelsey,

      PLEASE tell me where i can find these mirrors?! I can’t find them on target website or any on the web anywhere else!

      Erin,

      I LOVE EVERYTHING!! Awesome! I am trying to find the mirrors and having a hard time. The room is absolutely the best on the site though!

      Hi!!
      So I found them in the store, they aren’t online. They are called the “clover mirror” and they are around 20 dollars per mirror. They should still have them in the store. In fact I was at my Target store yesterday and they had three in stock. I just need advice on painting them now!!
      Let me know if you have any more questions!

      This little girls nursery is beyond words! Did you paint the items yourself or have the mirrors/end table/changing table professional done? Brushed or sprayed? Would greatly appreciate a response! Just beautiful work!
      Thanks!

      Thanks Angela, the mirrors and changing table were sprayed with lacquer by a professional painter. DMC Design Studio – the owl bookends were a find at Homegoods. I love them, too!

      I love your nursery!!! It’s adorable!!!
      I have to ask, how hard was the wall stencil? I’m contemplating doing it, but I’m scared! I may have to just do wallpaper. Please let me know.

      Thanks,

      I am looking to stencil a wall of my nursery with the same pattern! Where did you get the stencil from and any idea on what the technical term for this type of pattern is??! Beautiful job, i would want to spend all day in there!!

      Where did you get the drawer pulls?!

    38. Emily

      June 18, 2012

      hi all,
      the stencil was insanely hard and i didn’t even do it – my professional painter did. He did an amazing job but it was a ton of tedious work. The stencil was purchased on Etsy (see above credits) and is a quatrefoil design (for all of you art history buffs.) drawer pulls are from Anthropologie. i think this answers all recent questions – thanks!

      Hi! So I have been working on my little girl’s nursery with this room as inspiration and just wanted to answer the question on how hard the stencil is. I’m still working on it but it’s really not hard, it’s just time consuming. If I didn’t have an 18 month old, I would be done by now, but I’ve only been able to work on it bits at a time during his nap. It looks great so far though, my husband wasn’t too sure about it but now that he’s seen the results, he loves it! I’ve also been working on doing the bloom balls myself and that has also been time consuming. I know all the hard work will be worth it in the end!! I bought the three mirrors from target but haven’t painted them yet, trying to figure out what type of paint I should use and need to find it in the right blue color of my dresser. By the way, I purchased her dresser from young america in the surf blue color, it’s gorgeous. Anyways, just wanted to help anyone out that’s wanting to do similar things from this nursery. It’s the most beautiful nursery ever and hopefully ours will look near as good. :)

      Wondering where your diaper caddy on the dresser is from? It matches perfectly and I would love to find one!

      do you remember the name/brand of the mirrors? I being looking for them everywhere, I know you buy them in Target, but I havent found them

      Love this nursery! I am looking for a table fan and really want the light pink retro fan you have. Where did you purchase it from? Thanks!!

    44. Emily

      August 20, 2012

      Jennifer – I actually painted the canvas diaper caddy I found at Target to match. Megan – the light pink retro fan was a steal at Homegoods over a year ago. Thanks!

      Beautiful room! Love the color combination. I think a tall double bookshelf or built-in shelves on the far wall would add a lot!

      Did your crib skirt fit properly? I have the same one and it is definitely not fitting as well as yours seems to be! Love the room by the way!
