Blush & Bashful Nursery

I have been dreaming about doing a girl’s nursery for as long as I have wanted to be a mother. This surprise pregnancy had me elated when I found out we were having a daughter. I had a secret Pinterest board and couldn’t wait to start decorating and shopping.
Steel Magnolias is my favorite chick flick movie. I’ve seen it over a hundred times and still cry at the same parts. I instantly thought of Shelby and her wedding colors “Blush and Bashful” or as M’Lynn called “Pink and Pink”. I wanted a soft, feminine space with lots of blush with gold accents.

A Pink & Gold Nursery for Baby Everly!

This sweet nursery was designed by Nicole Blattner for her baby girl, Everly.  We can’t seem to decide on our favorite part of the room, but the gold name plaque and assorted wall flowers are stunning, and are a perfect focal point for the nursery.  Featured on the simple white crib is our Pink & Gold Baby Bedding Collection, a popular crib set for a baby girl’s nursery.  The gold polka dot crib sheet and 3 layered crib skirt gives the nursery bedding a feminine feel.  The white crib rail cover is accented with pink ruffle, gold ties, and monogrammed with Everly’s initials.  Because the front crib rail is wider than most, we customized the rail cover to fit by making it slightly wider.  The sweet corner shelves are perfect for mementos and keepsakes.  We made the custom pink and gold curtains to Nicole’s specifications with gold polka dot panels trimmed with layers of pink ruffles.

Soft Pink, Gold and Ivory Shabby Chic Nursery

When we found out we were having a girl (we have a 9 year old son), I immediately wanted to go with soft pinks, golds, and ivory/creams for the her room. Which is crazy because I always said if I every have a girl I will never go with pink! And several months before I found out I was pregnant, I started liking pink. That should have been an indicator right then, but I was clueIess..LOL!  I was going to go with a princess type theme, but then changed my mind after searching Pinterest for different ideas. At first, the room was going to be more centered around the crown teester, but then I wanted more of a shabby chic and sophisticated nursery. Soft pinks with different shades of gold and ivory/creams throughout the room. I made her crib bedding (with the exception of the crib rail guard), flower curtain tie backs, personalized pillows(on the chaise), changing pad cover, and double sided door stopper. My brother painted my son’s old crib in a metallic gold/champagne. Also, I made a liner for the bassinet/stroller piece that will be her hamper and then could be used for dolls or whatever she would like! We removed the closet door and I went with the curtains instead. So happy with the way her room turned out!!!

Delaney’s Classic Pink, Gold and Gray Nursery

When my husband and I found out we were pregnant with a little girl last year, we were over the moon! Becoming parents was something we had been talking and dreaming about for a while, and we were so excited it was finally becoming a reality!
I’ve always been passionate about home design and decor, so naturally I began working on the nursery right away. I wanted a space that was classic, clean and not too “baby-ish”. Furniture and decor can get expensive and I didn’t want to completely start over in a few years once she was older.
Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware are my favorite stores to shop for my home, so that is where I found most of the things for the nursery. I didn’t mind spending a little extra on the furniture since the crib turns into a full size bed and the changing table doubles as a dresser. The chair is so comfortable and I am so glad I have it during those 2 AM feedings! The other decor and bedding I bought on sale and with coupons. Both of these stores constantly run promos online so there is no need to ever pay full price!
My favorite thing about Delaney’s nursery is that it is calming, comfortable and just feels like home. The biggest piece of advice I have for expecting moms that are designing a nursery is to make it practical, not just pretty! It should feel like an extension of the rest of your home- you will spend a lot of time in there!
Hope you’ve enjoyed taking a look at my space!

Flamingo Inspired Nursery

When we found out we were expecting a girl I knew immediately I wanted to use flamingos and pineapples to decorate her nursery. I’ve always loved flamingos and traditionally pineapples are used to represent hospitality. And I wanted Adair to feel “welcomed” into our home right away. I’ve always loved gold, so it seemed like the perfect compliment to our flamingo pink color palette. Since we decided to paint the walls pink, I decided not to go overboard on the flamingo decor. We’ve accented the room with flamingo toys and gold foil prints. I think this will help us easily change up the look and feel of her room as she grows and her interests change.

Polka Dot Princess Nursery

A large gold polka dot wall is the backdrop to this little princess’s nursery. It was essential that we designed a really comfy reading and nursing corner too as this is where hours would be spent during the days and nights. The wall was painted in a dusty pink and we used gold decals to give it the ‘wow’. Crushed linen curtains in a pastel grey created the soft border to the windows. In the end it turned out to be a beautiful, classic and soothing nursery.

Eva’s Rose Gold and Bunny Nursery

I really wanted to incorporate rose gold into Eva’s nursery, because I love it, and her middle name is Rosalie. I couldn’t find any rose gold decals, until I finally looked at The Land of Nod! So, that’s where I started with my nursery dreams! I picked a complementary blush color for the accent wall, and found an amazing Etsy shop (DesertTwig) to make her custom name sign.
From there, I knew I wanted some sort of animal to be “hers.” I saw some pretty bunny prints, and went on a mission finding little bunnies to add throughout her room.

Pink, White and Gold Twin Nursery

First of all I just want to say how excited I am to share with you all my first official decorating project as an interior designer. My co worker and friend gave me the honour of creating this stunning nursery for her two beautiful twin girls. Designing this nursery was a dream come true! During our initial consultation, my friend had asked for a pink, white and gold colour scheme with hints of florals. She wanted the room to have a girly feel to it without being overly girly (no frills). Gathering the decorative items for the room required some hunting at our local thrift stores as well as some DIY projects. Some of my favourite items in the room include; the rocking horse which was purchased on a buy and sell website, the flower mobiles which were hand made by myself and the “blocks” holder on the bookcase which was purchased at a thrift store, it was painted white and stenciled with gold lettering. You can’t help but feel happy when your standing in this room, its bright, light and beautiful! I hope this room inspires you to create your own beautiful spaces!

Mila’s Sweet Boho Nursery

As a new interior designer and first time mother, when I found out I was having a baby girl I was beyond thrilled and wanted to take the opportunity to design the feminine nursery of my dreams! It was the perfect excuse to embrace my love of the color pink and use gold accents.
We also recently move into a new home, which we renovated, so our budget was tight. I was able to complete the nursery for under $1500! I purchased the crib, dresser, glider, and rug from All Modern and most of the decorative pieces from Etsy, Ikea, and Home Goods. I was also able to repurpose a few items I had in the garage and used some great flea market finds.
My vision for the nursery was to make it a little bohemian, glam, unique and comfortable…which made the result very eclectic, in my opinion. I also wanted it to be adaptable, if we decide to make a change or not to use so much pink in the future, it’s an easy switch since the staple pieces are neutral and all wall decals are removable. One of my favorite elements in the nursery ended up being the chandelier. Originally I intended to use a pricey gold urchin pendant that was beautiful. However, due to budget constraints I ended up going with a very affordable fixture from Ikea and I love it! It feels very light and airy, and perfect for a whimsical nursery. Another favorite of mine is the dresser. I didn’t like the stainless knobs that originally came with it and I searched all over to find just the right replacement. Eventually I saw these cute wooden knobs in the clearance section at Home Goods and snatched them up immediately. I love the clearance section.
There is so much to worry about and plan for when expecting a baby, it’s nice to have been able to complete the nursery of my dreams and know that I didn’t “break the bank.” We can’t wait for our little baby Mila to arrive in January!

Honey’s Chic Floral Nursery

Some girls dream of what their wedding will look like but I dreamt what my baby girl’s nursery looked like. I knew I wanted it super girly and try to use what I had on hand. I searched and searched for the wallpaper and fell in love. From their everything came together. I reused my old crib and painted it. Found a rocking chair at a junk store for $40 and repainted it. My sister found the dresser at another junk store and redid it for me. My bedding I wanted to keep simple because the wallpaper was so busy. I found it on pottery barn. And loved the simplicity of it.

Harlow’s Vintage Glam Blush Nursery

Baby Harlow is one lucky girl! This nursery is nothing short of a labor of love, partly because the parents happen to be two of the most amazing people I’ve ever met, and partly because I feel like Harlow is my own baby girl! In fact, she’s about to get a nursery here at work just to entice her mommy back sooner! Her momma is the manager for our store in San Antonio, and her grandmother is the talent behind that gorgeous metallic wood wall that’s all over Pinterest. So basically, they just ooooze talent anyways. We were so excited to design a nursery around our new linen and lace collection, especially with our brand new detachable large crib bows. And, I love how this nursery exemplifies how you can combine silver and gold for that perfect metallic glam look. Sweet shades of blush, ivory, and linen all tie it together perfectly. The only thing missing now is baby Harlow Jean!
 

Pink, Mint and Gold Nursery

When I was a child and transitioning into a new room, my aunt came to visit and help decorate. She told me that I could pick any colors that I wanted and though that seemed like an endless possibility to a 3 year old, I immediately knew what I wanted. I vividly remember looking in my Crayola box at color choices. I suppose that yellow box stood in place of my Sherwin Williams paint deck back in the day! I pulled out 2 crayons that were missing the points because they were used so often, pink and mint green. I made my request to my aunt, who was probably thrilled since I didn’t pick anything too difficult to work with, and she immediately went to work.

The room was filled with vintage pieces found at antique stores. An old rusty iron bed that was painted light pink, a milk glass lamp, pink and green chenille linens, and my Nannie (grandmother) crocheted the most beautiful pink and mint coverlet. It was the most beautiful room I had ever seen and I always said that if I ever had a daughter, her room would also be pink and mint. I wanted the room to be feminine and classic and able to transition into her childhood.

I knew I wanted floral drapes and couldn’t find any that fit. I came across the fabric Riley Blake Chatsworth Main which is actually a quilting fabric and sewed them lined with blackout lining for extra weight. The Jenny Lind bed was mine as a baby and I painted it gold to update it a bit. The bedding is a mixture of Pottery Barn Kids, Target and a custom made dust ruffle. The dresser was an awesome goodwill find that I painted with chalk paint and I also painted the artwork.

A Pink and Angelic Nursery

When we found out we were having a little girl I just knew I wanted to have pink in the room.  My husband is a naval officer so we are currently renting our house.  That being said we debated about painting the room.  We ultimately decided that we wanted to make the room as special as possible for our little girl.
I knew I wanted to have a pink and gold theme, but I wanted it to be tasteful and fancy.  My mom painted some paintings of angels to go in the room and we just knew that we would base the theme around that. The picture above the crib is actually a picture of her two godmothers.  We love knowing they are watching over her while she sleeps!
I used a mix of old and new.  We refinished the dresser and reused some elements from our life.  I love the added touches like the beatrix potter figurines from my nursery when I was a little girl to the debutante stool I used when I made my debut in 2009 at the Terpsichorean Debutante Ball.
We had a blast decorating this room, and I am happy to share with you!

The Posh Home Baby Girl Nursery Reveal

I was so excited when I found out I was having a girl and was thrilled to put together her nursery.  It was the one room in the house I could make feminine and girly and not drive my husband too crazy.  As a design student and lifestyle and interior design blogger I love to make spaces beautiful and functional.  Since we were having a girl I wanted to design a shabby chic, dreamy, and peaceful nursery.  When we moved into our home I was 7 months pregnant and had little time to piece the space together so it has been a work in progress.  I started shopping at vintage markets and found her dresser/changing table.  The dresser was a mess when we bought it but I had a vision of refinishing it a peach/pink blush color and loved the way it came together.  I found the crib from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child it gave me the vintage feel I was going for.  One of my favorite art pieces I purchased from Made By Girl and refinished the frame I placed it in.  I fell in love with Hygge & West’s Daydream wallpaper and knew I had to have that as a feature in her nursery.  I started piecing together items that I loved and completed her nursery after her first birthday!  I guess you could say I had a lot going on with becoming a new Mom and a move.  This room is one of my favorites and I love spending time in there.

Emmy’s Golden Animal Kingdom Nursery

My sweet baby girls nursery has been my favorite project! My inspiration came slowly, it took 4 months to put the whole thing together.   When I saw the animal heads at TJ Maxx I knew I was going to incorporate them into a gallery wall.  I continued to find other fun animals to add throughout.  The large curtain rod branch came from the first time Emmy visited the beach at just a few weeks old.  This triggered the desire for a tree branch mobile which came from a lovely tree in our neighborhood.  Being on a tight budget made this nursery a rewarding challenge.  I enjoyed putting my custom stamp on things with DIY projects.
My tip, don’t be afraid to combine styles and add your special touch, I’ve learned that if you stick with things you love it can all come together!

Sweet Sadie Lady’s Pink and Gold Nursery

I wanted to design a modern and elegant room for my daughter, Sadie. Somewhere we could go and have it be calming and sophisticated. I first started to brainstorm about the nursery while I was pregnant, so as you can imagine my ideas were all over the place! I kept being drawn to a pink nursery with white, gold and mint green accents. I don’t really categorize myself as a “Pink Person” so finding the right color pink from thousands to choose from (while pregnant) was exhausting! I finally came upon Valspar’s, Noble Blush as our winner! Phew! Once I was set on the paint color I moved onto fabrics for her bedding and accessories.
My first purchase for Sadie’s room was her light fixture From West Elm. I LOVE IT! It is so beautiful and casts the greatest shadows on the ceiling in the evenings. We also added a dimmer switch to accommodate those nighttime feedings. What a lifesaver!
I purchased the molding online and painted it the same color as the trim in her bedroom and we just nailed it up on the wall! It added a great touch to the room and was surprisingly really easy!  The monogram was purchased through Etsy, and was spray painted gold. The shelves and dresser are both from IKEA. We spray painted the brackets the same gold as her monogram. Cheap and easy! I loaded the shelves up with nicknacks I would find here and there. I found her mirror and at Pottery Barn Kids fell in love! Hanging it between the shelves and above her dresser tied it all together so perfectly!
Her curtains and rod are from Land of Nod and are soft and airy. Although they are not blackout curtains, I still think they fit the room perfectly (I might be regretting this as Sadie gets older).
Most of the art work in Sadie’s room was created specifically for her from my very talented friends and family!
I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into our Sweet Sadie’s Room. We loved every bit of making it a reality!

Lola’s Pink, Mint and Gold Woodland Nursery

When my husband and I found out in March of 2014 that we were going to be having a second child we were cautiously excited! After several early miscarriages, a new pregnancy was met with some serious trepidation. So needless to say, once we successfully passed the 12 week threshold, we were able to breathe a tiny sigh of relief and I was keen to start to transform what I had dubbed “The Sad Room,” into a new baby nursery!
As we did with our son, we planned to keep the gender of the baby a surprise. The way we see it, there are so few GOOD surprises at this point in life, and after our struggles, we could honestly say we didn’t care what we got, as long as it was a baby! The only reason I half considered finding out the baby’s gender,  was to plan how I would decorate the nursery. But that wasn’t really reason enough, so my challenge was to make something gender neutral that could be tweaked afterwards to suit a baby girl or a baby boy on a limited budget!
The one thing I knew for sure, was that I wanted a reclaimed wood accent wall, so this naturally steered me towards a woodland’ esque theme. My biggest priority for this project was to keep the actual cost of the project low since we had purchased our home within the year and taken on a relatively pricey renovation shortly thereafter. So, my mission was to create a beautiful gender neutral budget friendly woodland themed baby nursery!
Step one was creating the reclaimed wood accent wall. After much research, I figured the cheapest (and easiest) way to do this would be with wallpaper. Wallpaper can be pretty pricey, but I was able to find a fantastic deal from all4wallswallpaper.com For less than 100$. The nice thing about this wallpaper, is that it is apparently easy to remove, and honestly, it was quite easy to put up. My husband and I were actually able to do it in one evening and with zero arguments!
I decided to decorate the wall with various pictures I had collected. My colour scheme  before the baby arrived, consisted of natural woods, golds, whites and a touch of mint green. I figured if we had a boy we could play the room up with more gray and green and if it was a girl, could add some pink into the mix. The latter is obviously what I did once we knew Lola was a girl!
The bulk of the frames in the room and mirror on the wall were purchased at various thrift stores. The picture of Ernie and Bert is actually a needle point I purchased from a thrift store auction, which I thought was super cute, even if the colours didn’t necessarily fit into the rooms colour scheme. The ledge below the mirror and the ledge above the change table were both purchased on clearance from target Canada (RIP) for 7$ a piece. The mug on the ledge was mine, purchased from chapters, but thought it fit into the room well, and was a great little storage cup for soothers, and the cream faux flowers were purchase from Homesense for $12.99.
The crib (Sears) we had from when my son was baby as well as the dresser (Ikea), which doubled as change table. I really wanted the Pottery Barn cream furniture look without the price tag. The pink crib sheet as well as the pink change pad cover, are both Aden & Anais, and were purchased from Winners. After scouring multiple stores, I was lucky enough to find matching colours, and both for a fraction of the normal retail price.
The mobile above the bed I had purchased on etsy for my son when he was a baby. I had seen a very similar one at Pottery Barn at the time, but unfortunately when I tried to buy it, I was told they were discontinued. I then turned to etsy and was able to source one that was quite comparable, and for a lot less than the pottery barn original.
The moose canvas above the crib was actually made by me using a blank canvas, a little mod podge, some gold paint and a free printable i found on Pinterest.
I followed instructions for the project and I must say, it turned out quite well!
The hanging “Lola” name sign behind the crib is one of my favourite pieces in the room. The stick is actually a piece of driftwood that my mother found in front of our family cottage in New Brunswick. When i saw it, i knew i wanted to incorporate it somehow into the nursery. I found some really pretty card stock on sale at winners and thought the colours blended perfectly with the nursery. I figured if i could find the letters for her name I could easily mod podge the card stock onto each letter using the same technique as the moose canvas, which is exactly what I did. I was able to find light weight letters at Michaels for a few dollars each that worked perfectly. Once the letters were complete, I used a glue gun and some string that i found hanging around the house to secure the letters onto the stick. Because i planned on hanging the stick above her crib, I had my father in law come over to properly drill it to the wall so there wouldn’t be any fear of it falling. Safe to say that thing may never come out!
The dresser we purchased from Ikea when we had our son. It is the perfect size and height for a change table and provides the added bonus of deep storage drawers for diapers, clothes etc. For my daughters room, I updated the dresser a tad by switching out the original black knobs for gold ones which I also purchased from Ikea. I found them in the kitchen department of the store and I think all 6 may have cost me roughly $12. The ledge above, as mentioned was purchased on clearance from Target Canada as were the faux flowers. The little gold frame i picked up from the salvation army thrift  store and the picture within the frame was actually a card given to Lola from my good friend Catherine. I thought it was so pretty and fit in well with our woodland theme. The gold sconce above actually came from my childhood home. My mother had given me a few brass sconces as well as a brass chandelier and i thought one would be perfect in the room since there is no actual ceiling light. My father in law installed it, added a dimmer and voila! it was perfect! and free i might add!
The corner shelf I had purchased from Kijiji for my son’s nursery years before. I had considered painting it in the past, but am extremely happy I didn’t, as it fit in perfectly, size and colour, with Lola’s nursery. The gold frame on the top of the shelf was purchased on clearance for 2$ from Homesense, because it was missing the glass part of the frame. This really didn’t concern me, as I loved the colour and size. When I came across the “you, me, oui!’ picture from Chapters, I knew it would be perfect with its soft pink, cream and gold colours. The clock below is from Birks and was owned and passed down to us from my husbands Nona. I really loved being able to include this, as I love all things old and family related. below that, are a couple of elephant statues that I bought on clearance from Homesense and have used as bookends. I’m not totally sure that this was what they were intended to be since I found them in different sections of the store, but all the same, they work perfectly as that. The gold bowl below is Beaver Canoe and was purchased on clearance from Target. I thought it would be perfect to store hair accessories etc. Its currently used for shoes until Lola starts growing some actual hair. Lastly, is a picture of Lola and I the day she was born which I placed in a  white frame from Ikea kicking around the house.
The brass log holder I also found at a thrift store for $2.99. I thought it would be perfect for storing and displaying pretty swaddle blankets. The glider was purchased from Target in the US after MUCH researching. I adore the Monte gliders, but the price point was too steep, so after countless hours on the internet, I decided on the Charleston glider from Target. I am so happy I did this, as it is a beautiful chair and very comfortable as well. The side table to the left of the glider is perhaps the best deal out of the entire room. It was purchased from Target Canada for a total of $3.96! It was originally tagged for $60 i believe and then was suppose to be marking down to $39, however it was tagged incorrectly at $3.96, which they agreed to honour. Major score. The lamp on top was purchased from target on clearance for $14 as well as the poof I am using as an ottoman for $49. The rug I also scored at Target during a cross border shopping trip with friends for a total of $19!! It fit perfectly in the room as far as decor and size.
One thing i struggled with was what i would do for window treatments. I decided to wait until after we knew if she was a girl or a boy to put anything up aside from the blackout blinds. Once she arrived, i started looking into fabrics and different window treatment styles. I had a vision of a rectangular valance from the beginning, but my sewing abilities were limited, so I wasn’t sure how i was going to pull it off. I ended up finding some cute fabric on fabric.com which was pale pink with gold birds which i loved. The same fabric can be found on etsy. I also found a great pin on Pinterest, which showed you how to make a valance out of insulation board and with new sewing required. score! So i purchased my fabric, insulation board and a string of white pom poms to attach to the base of the valance. Now the process was a bit tedious, cutting the insulation board (what a mess) attaching the insulation board with a staple gun (had to add pins for extra security bc the staples kept falling out) and then hanging the valance on nails and having it not fall off (ended up adding some double sided tape between the valance & the wall) but in the end, it did work, and i was happy with it. Its not perfect by any means, but it covers the ugliness of the black out blinds when they are rolled up and the overall look was exactly what i was going for.
The ledge between the crib and glider was something I already had, and thought it would be perfect for displaying books. I loved the book  ‘Charlotte’s Web,’ as a kid, so I was really excited when I came across this larger sized copy in an antique shop for $4.
The crate below the shelf is an actual pop crate from the Soda Pop company my father’s family owned for over 100 years. I really wanted to incorporate it into the room for sentimental purposes, and the fact that it matched my reclaimed wood wallpaper was the icing on the cake. It is a perfect size to store stuffed animals and other baby toys.
The final touch on the room was the sign on her door. I purchased a gray and gold lined bulletin board from Target right before they closed their doors for good and then found a gold letter “L” at Micheals and glued it on the front.

Gold Bunny Nursery

I was so excited to create this space for our daughter when we moved shortly after her first birthday. I am completely in love with anything gold and pink and wanted to go with this theme. Bunny is a nickname I have called her and once I found the wall decals I thought that would be a sweet nod. Honestly I thought they were going to be incredibly difficult to put up but to my surprise, it went very quickly. My biggest advice, just go for it and don’t let planning on paper get you discouraged. Put them on the wall using painters tape to get a general idea first and then start your measuring and sticking!
My daughter loves forts and tents so I thought a teepee would be so fun. I used a combination of tutorials from Pinterest and came up with this one. Most of the supplies were purchased from Lowes and I just spray painted PVC pipes. I love the gold accents and pompoms. I added the pompoms onto the curtains as well to keep theme going. I can say that she plays in her teepee every day and am so glad she enjoys it!
I have been in love with the Rifle Paper Co print of Washington DC and I felt the colors fit our theme perfectly. We have been living in the DC Metro for a couple years now and I enjoy being able to bring our love for the city into the nursery.
