Yellow nursery

We are big DIYers and over the last few years, have DIYed a lot of the renovation on our 1960s house. When we found out we were expecting our first child, I knew I wanted to do something fun and special with her nursery. Before we got to the fun stuff like decorating however, the husband did a bunch of research on some bones-work on areas he wanted to improve on the room (things like removing the popcorn ceiling, adding sound-dampening measures to the room etc) and he got to work!
We were gifted a dresser from some friends that had used it with both their kids, so we knew it would be a great project to refresh for our own nursery!
Then, after all that work, it was finally my turn to have fun with designing and painting the nursery (at 33 weeks pregnant too!!)
While I love “themed” rooms and have done my fair share of them in the past, I wanted to design something that would be easy to buy accessories/items for, and not box ourselves into a corner with a too-specific theme. I also wanted to try to design something that in 3-5 years from now, she might still enjoy having as her room.
We are big gardening/nature people, and we also love the feel of mid-century-modern decor, so I took those areas of interest and loosely designed the room around them. I did a combination of MCM and plant shapes for the mural, picked a warm color scheme (most of our house is a combination of warm yellow/green/brown colors as well) and carried that theme throughout the room, by designing and painting some art and unfinished wood decor items to tie the room together!
We’re thrilled with the end result, and it’s been so easy to add items to the nursery, as the colors I used for the mural are very common to find in crib sheets, changing pad covers, baby clothes, stuffed animals etc.

I wanted to create a calming space for my daughter that was both beautiful and functional. I absolutely loved how her room turned out and can’t wait for her big arrival.

Meet Nicole, the proud mama to Paloma, a beautiful baby girl. She searched for nursery inspiration on Pinterest and stumbled across stenciled accent wall ideas and fell in love with the DIY project.  She painted three of the walls a soothing gray hue.  For her accent wall she left it white and chose to stencil a fun geometric pattern in a bright yellow.  Nicole used our Nagoya Allover pattern in a sunny yellow hue, similar to Benjamin Moore’s yellow rain coat 2020-40.  Once she completed the stenciled wall, she wrote “#diy SUCCESS!!! I did it and in way less time than I expected! I highly recommend Cutting Edge Stencils. This project was wayyyyyy easier than I anticipated and I think it’s because I had a good stencil. Hope Paloma likes it!” To complete the look of the nursery, she added in some gray decor elements like the wall art over the crib by Page Launcher.

Blue, White & Yellow Girls Nursery

The perfect mix of 2 great colors!

I wanted Elijah’s room to be something that promoted growth.  I read a lot of articles about nurseries, and found that green and trees/growing plants are healthy to have in a nursery because they promote wellness and development. So I went with the tree top theme.  I love all the little birds and owl accents in the room, and I love that when I walk into his nursery there is an immediate calming feeling about it. 

I wanted a space that was light, airy and filled with things meant to inspire creativity. I knew Stella, Ralph and I would spend a lot of time in here and I wanted it to be a beautiful respite.

This Orange County client asked for a nursery for her little boy that was simple, modern and colorful.

A modern & hip “safari” gender neutral room.   See a full description here: http://psastampcamp.blogspot.com/2012/05/room-for-20.html 

We put together this gender-neutral nursery before our son was born.  He was a delivery room surprise and we plan to use this room as a nursery for future children – so we wanted a neutral palette.   We gutted everything in the room except the flooring.  Our home was a foreclosure – so each room needs a lot of work!  It was so much fun to DIY this space for our little one.

This client loved all things girly for her new baby girl and so I was ready to deliver! The bedding was custom made by a local seamstress and included all of her favorite colors of pink, white and yellow and showcased various fun textures to appeal to the keen sense of touch that a baby has from birth. I then took that yellow and pink and painted the walls and subsequently added some big pink pansies around the room. The comfy yellow nursery glider and the beautiful nursery chandelier added more touches of pink and yellow to the room while providing the comforts and elegance every nursery needs. I topped it all off with a custom made hand painted Sherri Blum wall hanging and a custom Sherri Blum Sweet Pea embroidered pillow.
