I was looking to create a calming nursery that was girly but not in the traditional sense. As much fun as pink can be, I really wanted a room that was inspired by the outdoors.This room is very small ( 8×9 ) so I had to find furniture that wouldn’t overwhelm the room. The cib is actually a mini-crib.
We have a small house where the nursery is very visible, so I wanted to create a design with a style and colors that would blend in with the rest of the house. Translation: Avoid “babyish” themes or colors, while still creating a space that is peaceful, fun, and functional for a child. This is a small room–about 10×12–so it was a challenge to fit in the needed furniture and storage space as part of the design. We didn’t have room for a dresser, so built removable shelves in the closet to keep clothes, toys, and the plethora of baby “stuff” you need nicely organized. As his clothes get longer, we’ll remove shelves to extend the space for hanging clothes. I also added baskets throughout the room (including some great ones on sliders under the crib to store extra diapers!) to add storage that is movable while also bringing natural textures to the room. We wanted the primary color of the nursery to be gray to mix it up because the rest of our house is based in browns, but I left some natural browns in the room (baskets, wood knobs, silk lamp shade) to tie in the rest of the house and balance the cool tones in the room.
I made a snowflake themed party for my 1 year old daughter’s 1st birthday in January. It was pretty, pink, robin’s egg blue and glittery like frost. I made some cupcake toppers with scrapbook paper, skewers, and snowflake stickers, along with some dollarstore white styro snowflakes…And I made the banners with the same scrapbook papers, as well as some old fashioned paper chains with snowflakes added on the bottom! Also I used those “decorate them yourself” crowns from the dollar store and glued the leftover bits of scrapbook paper onto them…
