Description
Eclectic, Feminine, Relaxing - Aqua, Tan, Pinks, White, Yellow - lots of color mixing.
Design Inspiration
I started the project looking for a stationery crib and fell in love with the two-tone offered through Stanley's Young America line. From there, I decided to make Baby Girl a quilt, and the colors and style came from the collection of fabrics I selected for the quilt.
Decorating Style
We wanted something that was feminine, but not too young - fit in with the style of our 1940s Cape Cod and had nice little details. We chose tan walls and went with neutral color furniture, so our pops of color would stand out, but the investment pieces would be neutral enough for future little Parkers.
Having the room feel relaxing and cozy was also really important to us.

Advice
Take your time collecting things that mean something. We don't have a lot of things in there, but we love all the pieces we have. AND lastly, decide ahead of time the things you want to spend the money on.

Hi! I love your crib and dresser. We are looking at the same ones. Is the wood white (starlight) or creme?
Young America has a preselected color of creme/walnut and can't decide if I want that or go with white.

That soft felt mobile is gorgeous! And everything in the room, too. It's simple and elegant, with touches of colors that are mostly light.
