We welcomed our baby girl, Chloe, into the world this May. When we first moved into our new home last year, we initially used this room as a guest bedroom. However, we had not done anything to the space in the hopes that it would soon become a nursery. A few month later and our wish came true! This bedroom quickly became a top priority on our home project list in preparation for our second little girl.
It is a small room, but it is just enough space for a nursery and thankfully there is a large closet! The walls were originally a very bold pinky-red. Who doesn’t love a good “before” pic??
All of the furniture we were using were the hand-me-downs from her older sister Cameron’s room. The furniture was a good quality and the pieces were still in excellent shape. I didn’t want the space to look exactly like Cameron’s old pink nursery, so I wanted to use different accent colors. I found this beautiful coral and navy rug and that was the jumping off point for the room’s design scheme. It was still girly, but not pink.
The first order of business was to tone down the walls. We went with Sherwin William’s Eider White. It was just a nice neutral color that complimented all of the different wood tones in the room and let the colors of the rug and window treatments steal the show.
I personally love to add a little “beachy” element to all of my spaces and I did this in the beaded light fixture and woven toy baskets.
I used these animal prints in Cameron’s old room and I love them so much, I had to hang them again. This changing table is a great piece because I feel like the girls will always be able to use it or it could work in any other room of the house. The beautiful metallic finish would be a great addition in almost any space.
This mobile above her crib is another hand me down from her big sister and was a special gift from my mom. It’s so adorable!
I spend a lot of time in this cozy corner. The glider chair is super comfy and a neutral backdrop for this colorful throw and our Floral Block Print pillow.
The curtain panels were an awesome inexpensive find. They went with the rug perfectly and I love the fringe detail along the edges.
The artwork in this corner is very special. Cameron wanted to help in the design of the room so she made the rainbow painting for her new baby sister! I gave her the paint colors that would coordinate with the “LOVE” print and this was her creation. I think her painting is absolutely perfect and such a sweet memory that Chloe can keep forever. This is probably my favorite part of the room!
