Madeleine’s disney nursery is a combination of modern elements with our favorite Disney characters and quotes.
I wanted to create a simple and bright room that looked feminine without being overly “girly”. I’m obviously not a designer so I have no idea what I’m even talking about.
My goal for the design of this room was to create a preppy yet classic design for a young toddler girl. The only requests were to incorporate pink and green with flowers and monograms. I think we successfully created a classical little girl’s room.
Bright and cheerful girls nursery.
A fun nursery that she could grow with!!
I chose this nautical theme after deciding that we wanted to have my daughter, Eliza’s, 1st birthday party on the lake in our neighborhood. With a lakeside setting, a preppy pink and navy nautical celebration seemed to be the perfect fit! After dinner, our little party guests built their own sailboats. My dad cut all the wood and my mom made the sails with leftover fabric from the backdrop. It was so cute to see a table of girls and one little boy using their hammer and nails to build sailboats. We then set sail in the lake! It was such a beautiful night and the perfect evening to celebrate our sweet girl!
This project was a complete overhaul from the custom upholstered headboards to the custom bolster pillows. We wanted the rooms to showcase the girls and their personalities but also wanted them to be able to transition as they grow. The rooms have great bones and colors that you can easily change the accent colors for a completely different look.
The designs include a fun color palette consisting of a bubblegum pink, fuchsia, sunny yellow and navy that cheer for celebration! My goal was to create a party collection that can be easily recreated for children and adult parties and one that can be used for any occasion or event.
I designed and decorated this room for my own “big boy” when I was pregnant with my second, and was looking for something that two little California beach boys could grow into and ultimately share. I was very inspired by a photo of the bedding in the Serena and Lily catalog but put my own spin on it with black furniture, a rather random collection of surfer and beach art and photography, and a hand-painted surfboard. The walls are bold green and there is an occasional hint of orange in the room. Photos by Jackie Culmer Photography.
This preppy girl’s room was inspired by the hot pink cubes. When I saw them on ebay, I had to have them and design a room around them! We used Annie Selk fabric with graphic and geometric prints in hot pink and green with hints of blue and red. The drapes and pillows were custom with the fabric. The chair is re-upholstered also in Annie Selk fabric and painted white (ebay find). The dresser and side table are also vintage and have been re-painted. The lamp is from TJ Maxx and the owl lamp from Target. Frames from Ikea and canvas storage bins from Pottery Barn Kids. Duvet cover and euro sham from PB Teen. Prints from Etsy & deco pillow from etsy. Please contact me for any other details on sources used for this room.
This room was designed by Cheryl McConnell of Sweet Lullaby in Wyckoff NJ. Our customer wanted a Nautical room to grow with.
The sailing/nautical theme came together after buying the first item (the poop deck plaque). There was no overall vision for this room, we just started and kept rolling with it. I googled “nautical nursery” and really liked the thick bold stripes I saw in other rooms. It took us forever to decide on how many stripes, how thick, how far apart etc..but once we started the first wall looked great. The second wall was another story. We realized the entire ceiling was not level and one side was about and inch and a half taller than the other, making the stripes look crooked. Another hour of thinking, measuring and re-taping and we figured it out. We used frog tape but when we pulled it off our worst nightmare was realized…it bled through every where. Nothing 6 hours worth of touching up with a tiny brush couldn’t fix :(
In the end my husband and I are very happy with the way the room turned out…but we will NEVER paint stripes again!
This is our nursery for our baby girl Quincy who is due on November 30th.
Abigail’s nursery can be described as playful with both modern and feminine elements. I enjoy DIY projects and found inspiration through Etsy and Pinterest.
A modern, vibrant orange and turquoise nursery for our baby-to-be!
Baby Cason’s fishing nursery
We are expecting our first born son this upcoming fall! After finding out we were having a boy, I knew immediately I wanted to go with a nautical theme. I wanted to create a room that felt both preppy and contemporary.
A feminine and serene room for my baby girl.
We wanted a colorful but masculine nursery for our son, Bennett. We loved the traditional navy and white, and added some pops of royal, aqua and red.
