Description
Lila's nursery is a whimsical mix of color, print, and design. I wanted to incorportate my chevron obession (without going overboard) and give the nursery a colorful and bright feel that could grow with my daughter. Since this is my third baby, I wanted to be a little wild... and decided to make a statement with the dark pink dresser and white glider. Totally impractical? Maybe. Fabulous for design? Absolutely. It's my third... no rules apply, right?
Design Inspiration
I'm obsessed with anything chevron at the moment, hence the NEW Caden Lane Ikat/Chevron Collection, so when I found out I was having a girl... the nursery design planning started - all around the Lila Baby Bedding, of course. :-)
Decorating Style
My style changes from year to year, it's probably pretty obvious as you scroll through the pages of the Caden Lane collections. I think design starts with color, and instead of adding a "theme" to the nursery, you should focus on adding personal touches... it will mean so much more to you in the long run. And always decorate with the future in mind! In two years, you'll be packing up that crib, and introducing a big kid bed... so instead of completely redesigning that nursery you worked so hard on, make sure you can coordinate twin/full bedding later on! Good thing Caden Lane has a full line of big kid bedding too! :-)

HI! This is the most beautiful room! I would love to know where you got the Chevron wallpaper? Or did you paint it yourself? If so any tips on colors, stencils, etc?

You said the flower trim for the curtains is “dark pink” but the website does not carry that color, Is it actually “Hot Pink” ?
@ Danielle: I have seen the pink crown at Hobby Lobby! Not sure if this is where Katy purchased it but I have def seen it at Hobby Lobby :)
This is absolutely GORGEOUS! Question… Where can I get that crown that is on the wall above the crib?!
Love this room, I am on my third and if it’s a girl this is my inspiration. I just have a few questions.
Where did you get the chair picture?
How was the chevron wall created?

Deanne,
I found one in pink, its by the little girls canvas art :)
Love the chevron wall! Any advice or tips on how to do this?
Jenn,
Hobby Lobby has the crowns, you just have to paint them, they only come in black and brown
Is there any way you could sell the graphic art you made? It is amazing!!
I just have to say that this nursery is amazing. Coincidentally, my almost 3-year old daughter’s name is Lila and I am redoing her room in – yes – aqua and red.
Where did you get the LOVE sign?
I am featuring your nursery at Decor2Adoreable.com on 7-21-2012

Hi,
Are you still planning on putting the dream big wall art on your website?
Thanks!
Hi just wondering what color you used to paint the darker pink frame thats hanging on the chevron wall?
What are the paint colors of the walls?
BWilliams: paint colors are in comment #25! :-) And the rug was the pool color…
Hope that helps!
Katy
I absolutely love this nursery…I am currently pregnant with my first child and I would love to know what paint colors you used on the frames over the crib.
for the rug from pottery barn teen is it the pool or blue color?
How did you get the effect of the chevron wall if only the “gaiety” paint color was used? Did you use a base layer under the “gaiety” color? Or is the darker shade created by many coats?
I will add it this week for you! ;-) you can email me at info@cadenlaneco.com if u need help finding anything else in the nursery too! Most of it was in our store Nursery Couture in San Antonio, Texas!
What size is the DREAM, SPARKLE, SHINE print? I am *patiently* awaiting for it to be added to the website… any word on when??? Thanks!
Wall colors are comment 25! ‘o)
