Description
When we found out we were having a girl, I knew I didn't want a super feminine room. I'm a big fan of modern design and "frilly" isn't my style. I liked the idea of including a lot of color in her room, so I chose to focus on orange, pink and red. My mom and I DIY'd almost everything in the room - it was a labor of love and I'm thrilled with how it turned out!
Design Inspiration
Of course the pom-pom thing was inspired by a post on Ohdeedoh. It bothers me a little that it's really popular, but there's a reason - they're awesome! I used leftover lanterns from our wedding ceremony and a hanging lightbulb from Ikea to turn it into a light installation.

Love this nursery because it was for my granddaughter and it was so much fun to have a part (sewing) in making it happen. Sara has great ideas.

What an amazing job! Every inch of that bedroom has characte and I love how unisex it is - orange is a cheery color but I have to admit the custom covered glider is my favorite! Nice work!
