Neapolitan Nursery

Description

This was my first daughter's nursery. Being my first I put most of my budget into the crib and dresser, but didn't go overboard. I fell in love with the bedding before I knew that I was having a girl so I was determined to make it work either way. I ended up adding pink accents to the room in addition to the beige color scheme and came out with what most people would say is a Neapolitan looking nursery. Everyone always wants ice cream as soon as they walk in the room.

Design Inspiration

This nursery all started with the bedding.  I had it picked out before I knew the sex of the baby and added the pink accents to give it a more girlie feel.

Decorating Style

I like rooms to be functional yet elegant.  This room has a clean modern feel to it without looking like it's a showroom and not meant for use.

Project Details

If you can't find exactly what you want don't be afraid to change it.  Paint it a different color, add embelishments or remove excess ones, etc.  

Favorite Items

My favorite item in the room is the ceiling light fixture.  I picked out a modern fixture then added the bead strands to make it look like a chandelier.  

Advice

Paint Colors: Olympic Paints

Adobe White / C14-1

Heavy Cream / C14-2

Spiced Vinegar / C14-3

Brittany's Bow / A36-2

For the Circles on the wall I just bought knitting circles and used the inner ring.  I just painted them white and used foam tape to stick them to the wall.  Spray paint will give you a more even look than using a brush.

Sorry, forgot to tag the light fixture on the picture.  I just added the tag on the first picture with the web address.  It's from Access Lighting.

I love the idea of the light fixture turned into a chandelier. Where did you get the light fixture?
