Description
My daughter Emerson's colorful nursery was inspired by gift that someone gave me of a photo of a mariska doll that spams 'You are beautiful inside and out'. The nursery is a collection of colors, textures, patterns. We played with a balance of hard and soft and love the way it turned out.
Design Inspiration
My daughter Emerson's room was inspired by gift that someone gave me of a photo of a mariska doll that spams 'You are beautiful inside and out'.
Decorating Style
I am not really sure that I have a specific style. For Emerson's room I just bought things that stood out and made a lot of the artwork myself. It is defiantly very bright and colorful little girls room.

Advice
Don't rush to finish! My husband and I did not know the gender of our baby until she was born (we also moved into our house 2 weeks after she was born). We waiting until we knew for sure if it was a boy or girl as I wanted the nursery to be geared towards the gender. We purchased things slowly and made a lot of things ourselves. We just finished the nursery completely maybe 2 months ago!
