Baby Girl’s Nursery

Description

I wanted a feminine nursery that incorporated elements of clean lines as well as traditional. We wanted a cohesive look, but not too match-matchy. I'm so lucky to have a handy husband and a mom who paints well!

Design Inspiration

I knew I wanted pinks and tangerines, and found the sweet curtain fabric that was perfect! I love that it incorporated birds as well, and had fun incorporating them here and there throughout the room.

Decorating Style

I suppose our decorating style would be eclectic with a bit of beachy cottage thrown in.

Project Details

1- Crib: Dwell Mid-Century Crib

2- Glider: Crate and Barrell Hathaway glider in snow

3- Rug: Land of Nod Magic Carpet rug in pink

4- Nightstand- antique handed down from grandma and re-finished

5- Curtain Fabric- Valori Wells Wrenly in mandarin/cherry made by me

6- Mobile: Birds of a Feather mobile found in a local shop

7- Nightstand lamp: vintage glass lamp from the 40's

8- Dresser/Changing table: Craigslist find, re-painted by my mom

9- Dresser pulls: Anthropologie Zinnia handle

10- Pouf/Ottoman: from Target in-store

11- Curtain rod finials: Anthropologie floral burst knob in coral

12- Wall paint: Sherwin Williams White Dogwood

13- Union jack pillow: a nod to my husband's heritage, made by me and inspired from a Restoration Hardware pillow

14- Wall clock: Birds and Branches clock from Etsy seller Decoylab

15- Wall Collage: Mirror, chairs and vintage line drawing of mother and child, all heirloom hand-me-downs. Bird print, printed off the internet and Bless Her Always prayer for Etsy seller Enduringarts (the collage is still waiting for an initial, once she's named!)

16- Vintage books throughout the room were mine as a child

 

Favorite Items

As most mamas feel, we put so much love into these spaces for our little ones, that it's hard to choose a favorite item. I think for me, it would have to be the wall collage as it incorporates meaningful heirlooms. I also love the knitted blanket that I made for her.

Advice

Be patient...I have a hard time with this, as I want it to come together all at once. However any well-designed room isn't going to be picked off the shelf from a store, but slowly collected and lovingly chosen!

I am going to buy the Hathaway glider in snow for my nursery and wondering if you still like it after a couple years? Does it clean well? Thanks!

I know this post is from a couple of years ago but Land of Nod still has that rug and we were thinking of getting it for our nursery, but I am worried about how soft it is without actually feeling it. Is it soft enough for a little one to crawl and play on? Has it held up for you over the last two years? If you have a chance and can give me any feedback that would be great! Thanks :) Love the room!

Hi there Amy, thank you for the compliments! We tried a few different colors, then we found the perfect orange at our local Ace hardware. It's called Calypso Orange. We then had it matched by Sherwin Williams. Good luck!
