Boho Daisy Nursery

The nursery was designed to be cheerful yet calming with its warm tones, wood/rattan pieces & floral wallpaper.  We absolutely love how the daisy wallpaper brightens up the space and adds a splash of color to the previously all gray room, not to mention it was SO easy to install!  We chose neutral furniture pieces so that when baby #2 arrives someday, we can easily modify the room to a baby boy nursery if need be.

Neutral Baby Girl Nursery

I knew I wanted a neutral nursery with pops of muted colors here and there, that way it could easily be altered to fit her personality and interest as she grows.
I started with picking the white color for the wall and then picked the rug which is from Boutique rugs. I wanted to make sure I got something soft that would not be rough on her little body. Start with the bigger items first then move to smaller accent pieces. The crib came next purchased through project nursery, I stayed with a natural wood color so that it could be used for future babies! After the crib I picked the cream piper chair to match. Her dresser was a rattan thrift find that we repurposed and painted white. I suggest a dresser with many large drawers. After that I picked pieces such as the light fixture, end table, mirror and laundry basket all in rattan, natural wood colors.
her scent colors are dusty rose, blush pink and green.

Boho Pink Woodland Nursery

It was so lovely to work in this old Toronto home as I was able to accentuate unique features that give the space character — like vertical wall paneling, decorative air vent covers and painted shiplap inside the closet. Typically, we would have wallpapered the feature wall adjacent to the window; however, we decided to leave the wall paneling as is and created a focal point next to it with wallpaper and a hanging felted swan above a white and natural crib. Sometimes an atypical room layout can actually work to your advantage as it feels a bit more distinct to the space you’re working with!
To draw the eye up, we installed a rattan and linen pendant and switched out the previous window treatments with an antique brass curtain rod and blackout curtain panels installed as high to the ceiling as possible. We filled the space with beautiful textural elements like a pink faux sherling armchair, rattan mirror and doll bed, wool blanket, acrylic book ledges and fluted side table. To play with various patterns against the whimsical woodland wallpaper, we sourced a blush floral crib sheet, star cushion and floral art print. Don’t be scared to mix patterns — this can really bring depth to an overall room design. We didn’t want the space to feel too matchy matchy, so we mixed in blush pink tones with sage and olive greens, soft blues and even some brighter pops of yellow. The colour story really helps to carry the eye around the space.
It was important for my clients to maximize the available floor space for play, so instead of a large dresser we opted for an open oak bookcase to display books and toys and added a functional (and oh so cute) reading corner. I was also tasked to make the most of their tiny closet, so we found a small shelf with rattan drawers and used other various bins to keep clothes divided and neatly categorized.
There is no shortage of sweetness in this whimsical woodland nursery; from colour coordinated book selections, to specialty wooden ice cream toys and dolls… magic awaits!

Josie’s Sweet Oranges

 After having three boys in a row I was finally having a baby girl!  I couldn’t wait to create a beautiful girls nursery for my daughter, Josie.  I like to pick out one thing I love and then design the room around it. Most of the time the item is some type of textile.  I found a fabric with oranges on it that inspired me to create this warm, boho styled room.  I hand painted the oranges on her wall so I could pick the exact paint color I wanted them done in verses using wallpaper.  I also wanted to add some natural elements in her room.   I found a cute and easy DIY bookshelf project off Pinterest and added cane webbing to a natural wood IKEA bookshelf.  I love how much the bookshelves  add to the room.  I also decided to mix in a dusty rose color because I love the color so much.  I double layered her curtains to create more softness in her room.  Every time I walk into her room it makes me happy!
