Giselle’s Nursery

Description

I wanted to create a peaceful, dreamy and relaxing escape for my baby girl, Giselle (not born yet, I'm due in July). Something modern, fun and fresh, with few touches of bright colors...Coral Pink & lime green.

I had a little space challenge in this room so having the dresser double as a diaper changing station worked out nicely.

 

Design Inspiration

I found lots of inspiration on Pinterest and Project Nursery.

I originally started out looking for the fabric for the curtains. Once I found the fabric at Joann's Fabric store I fell in love with the color scheme. I kept the walls a neutral color gray and wanted to add pops of coral pink and lime green in the accessories. I felt like avoiding having everything too matchy-match and blending the different color shades and it all somehow ties together! LOL

Decorating Style

I had so much fun working on designing this room. It actually turned out sooo differently then what I originally had planned in my head...but everything really evolved organically that it kinda took on it's own style. I tried to stay somewhat modern and chic with traditional touches here and there. I was on a really tight budget so I was thrilled to find sweet deals at places like Garden Ridge, Hobby Lobby and Home Goods.

Favorite Items

Its hard to pick one...but I think My favorite items are the Curtains because they were handmade by a very dear friend of mine and were the inspiration of the whole room.

I also LOVE the Glider! It's so relaxing. That was one item my husband and I decided to splurge on since we knew we would be spending a lot of time in it. ;)

Advice

I would say start early that way you can take your time and enjoy the whole nesting experience. I had so much fun looking on line for inspiration and then trying to find similar items on a smaller budget. It's so worth it in the end and very rewarding for you and your new little love bug! :)
