What was your inspiration for the room?
Mommy: I wanted a garden or tea theme, but then it turned into this chic, feminine, fun room! It took me by surprise we did such bright colors, and stripes on the wall. The furniture is vintage looking, mirror is fun and flirty, and adding the woodwork was something special too. The wainscoting for a little girl’s room is very special.

Designer: Initially, I was shown the crib bedding, which has flowers and polka dots on it and then built the room around that. I wanted to add different textures and patterns to the room. The tree decal and birds added to the garden theme and so does the mobile with butterflies on it.  Once we received the ribbon style mirror, I wanted to add more girly aspects to the room; like with the pink crystal chandelier, ribbon shelf and ruffle panels.

Describe your decorating style.
Mommy: I love old world with a traditional style and a comfortable feel, like Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware. I am not modern at all! That’s why this room is a big surprise to me…because it’s so girly and I absolutely love everything about it!

Designer: I like simple, stylish, comfortable and non-cluttered rooms. I sway to every style out there though, depending on what my client wants. I love modern and classic looks, with clean lines, earth tones and pops of color. Designing this nursery was such a treat for me, since I have a little baby girl too and her room is completely different from this one. I absolutely LOVE the color pink and it just all came together in this beautiful nursery.

Favorite Items:
Mommy: Mirror, little ribbon shelf, tree decal

Designer: I love everything in this room. But especially love the mirror, chandelier, and dresser. They are all classic pieces adding a punch of youth and elegance to the room. It’s just perfect!

Any advice for mamas-to-be designing their nurseries?
Mommy: I looked at a lot of photos, whether they were online or in magazines. Try putting photos into a book, then mix and match to make it your own. Find different pieces and colors from different sites or magazines and turned it into one room.

Designer: Don’t make a nursery so baby-ish. Decorate appropriately for the little one right now with accessories and photos.  Make it easy to change out as the little girl grows with the room, otherwise you may be constantly changing things out and spending a lot of money overtime. Make it timeless.
