I had the honor of designing my dear friend Martina’s nursery for her and I can’t wait to finally share the reveal with you! This space was extra special and dear to my heart because their sweet baby came very early and spent 100 days in the NICU. It was a long, hard journey and I’m so glad I was able to create this beautiful space for her to be welcomed home to.
We began with painting the walls Sherwin Williams Flat Steppe which is such a warm and yummy mauve color. We wanted something that would grow with her and not feel too babyish and this color couldn’t be more perfect.
We paired it with the Tulip Sketches wallpaper from North and Finch which has such a soft and whimsical look to it. We used the peel and stick paper which made install super easy and allows for easy change down the road. Although hopefully not any time soon ?
As mamas we spend so much time in our gliders during those first months so I knew I wanted to make this corner extra cozy and special. We started with the Alistair Glider from McGee & Co. which is the most perfect linen fabric and has the prettiest curves.
Martina’s husband, Nick was very concerned about having a comfortable chair and this one passed his sit test with flying colors. It’s paired with the Alistair Ottoman which has the cutest shape.
For some nursing and reading light in this corner we used a vintage lampshade that was the inspiration starting point for this whole space. Martina found it at a local goodwill for $5 and the scalloped edge was way too cute to pass up. The stand we put the shade on was another thrift find that ended up pairing perfectly with the shade.
Nick built these adorable little bookshelves which are so functional and space saving. They help display the books not just as books, but as artwork. Don’t you think he needs to start selling them?!
To add some extra coziness we used luxurious velvet curtains. And I have to say for being from Amazon – they are SO GOOD. Great quality, color and so thick. They add the perfect touch of whimsy. We used the color Ivory.
The bunny print and little side table are both thrifted as well and I love all the vintage character that pieces like these add.
The crib is from Target and is such a good warm wood tone. It has nice clean lines and converts into a transitional toddler bed.
We created a gallery wall above the crib using some thrifted frames and vintage artwork. We also took a page out of the cutest book ever: The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse. We thought this couldn’t be any more perfect for their sweet baby girl.
Over to the other side of the room, we found this gorgeous vintage dresser on Facebook Marketplace to use as a changing table which is one of my favorite things to do in a nursery. It gives you plenty of storage and adds so much charm!
The mirror and artwork are also from antique stores.
And we can’t forget about the rug and the light. The rug is from the Rifle Paper x Loloi collection and is the softest thing ever. The colors pair so perfectly with everything in this space and the pattern adds another touch of whimsy to this magical room.
We added the ceiling medallion for some extra character on the ceiling before adding this gorgeous glass beaded chandelier. It gives off great light and makes such a statement! It’s the icing on the cake to this beautiful room.
I’m so happy with how this space turned out and have loved seeing their little girl in here! She had a tough start to her life but she is doing amazing and couldn’t be more perfect.
