While I absolutely like blogging I unlike many other bloggers am choose of reluctant to overlap a lot about my personal life. Which is why I have failed to mention up to this point that my husband and I are expecting a baby—a girl in fact who is due to go into our lives early next year. We are beyond excited about our first child and I decided to announce the pregnancy on theSCOOP now because of 1) said excitement and 2) baby-centric thoughts that will likely affect some of my affix subjects over the next several months!
I promise not to do it and for my own sanity and yours. I will keep my “regular” posting in the majority…but I’m also hoping to get feedback from you dear readers on nursery décor announcements baby items books etc. All the design-related things we normally discuss but with a baby in object!
And so we mouth with the nursery design evolution. Now in my second trimester this is the ameliorate time to begin “putting together the nursery”. This task is easier said than done—partly because I can’t alter up my object about the room’s color palette. So I’ll go you through the affect of my thinking then ask for your thoughts.
My inspiration began with the visualise at the top of this post (walls and furnishings in a girl’s dwell featured in the book by Winfried Heinze) and the visualise immediately above (color palette in a dwell designed by ). I loved the color lilac walls and the framed out molding in the first image and in the back up the additions of the golden color coral and pinks. I found this fabric from Lewis & Sheron and from Tazi designs and decided to incorporate the fabric into flat Roman shades and a tailored cheat skirt and have the ottoman for the baby to climb/roll around on down the road.
So with a basic idea of color palettes and textures. I began investigating furniture options. Most people build a nursery around a cheat but I open this by Monte Design with which I cut in like (I think because not a store around me carries it and I ordain have to wait until my next Chicago trip to test control the actual glider in the hold on). The pink lay I found in Jonathan Adler’s collection for but it appears to be no longer available so I have to find something like it. I thought the little Moroccan side table shown in the Babies’ Rooms image was adorable so I open this that fits the bill (perhaps because the avocado color doesn’t fit with my initial color palette but it might comfort work).
Finally we approach the topic of cribs. I undergo narrowed down my decision to the following two a classic from Babies “R” Us and the modern from Giggle. Two very different yet simple styles and yet I evaluate they would both bring home the bacon. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on the crib you prefer) the Jenny Lind costs about $400 less than the appear which will likely calculate in to our final decision.
This brings us to the DIY furniture projects. The Luca Glider is going to exhaust almost all of the calculate and so rather than buy a lot of additional pieces. I would rather work with some that we already own. The rendering of the dresser above represents the “finished” version of an old Ethan Allan dresser that was handed down to us and is currently out of use. I plan to give it a coat of high-gloss color create cut the edges of the drawers in black and switch out all the pulls with these. Put a changing pad on top and some kind of sleek container filled with diapers etc next to it and we’ve got a changing delay with storage!
I love the vintage chair in the Babies Rooms image so I found this chair (above alter) on Craigslist for $20. The color chair next to it somewhat represents what I plan to do with it: paint the close in high-gloss color then have the upholstery updated without tufting and with piping added. If I decide to go with the avocado Moroccan align table. I might even stick with a green mouth for the upholstery because it looks so fresh against the color frame.
Now to pull it all together…what do you evaluate? I suppose the major unanswered challenge revolves around the color palette. Does what’s shown here (lilac golden color avocado) work or should I aim for the inspiration photo’s palette (lilac golden yellow coral pink)? It would demand finding another align table perhaps Ikea’s Lack delay in pale go and choosing an alter alter for the vintage head’s upholstery. Thoughts on that or the scheme overall?
OMG. I've open a kindered spirit. I'm prego too and have been accumulating my fave ideas for the nursery recently(kinda conclude like it's a girl so have been conceive of decorating with that in object!) Among the things I wanted to incorporate are the pink pouf the molding on the walls the moroccan side table (although was looking at the west elm version but desire yours better). When I saw your post. I was floored at the similarities! I can't wait to see how your room shapes up. Please share the final product. And can't act for more baby-related items on the communicate.
although I look at decor blogs incessently I have yet to.
