Affordable Nursery Decorating Ideas and Inspiration, Great Finds For Baby and Mom, DIY Projects, and Parties
The Animal Print Shop recently announced it’s new Nursery Project — a fun new addition to their blog showcasing designer nurseries to provide inspiration for mamas-to-be. Of course, all the nursery designs will be incorporating prints from The Animal Print shop.
The Fun Lux Nursery, the first in the series, features a bold, navy herringbone pattern on the back wall — and a refinished vintage dresser that was salvaged from the trash. Can you believe it?!
Turkey Day is almost here — and after that, the Christmas countdown is on! We love counting down the days to important dates or holidays here in my house, which is probably why I love the idea of advent calendars so much. Check out these 5 creative advent calendar finds and get inspired to make your own advent over the long Thanksgiving weekend!

I have a confession. And let’s try to keep this just between us, ok?
Here goes… I’m not a fan of most celebrity nurseries.
Phew! Feels good to get that off my chest.
However, there are always exceptions like Tiffani Thiessen’s nursery and Tori Spelling’s nurseries for her son Liam and daughter Stella. And now I can add Laila Ali to that very short list of celebrity nurseries that I love.
Laila Ali worked with the uber-talented duo, Naomi Alon and Gerri Panebianco, of Little Crown Interiors to design a custom dream nursery for her little baby girl, Sydney. And they did a FANTASTIC job!
Some of my FAVORITE design features in the room include:
– The color palette. Pink and green make a great color combo. Through in a muted blue/gray and you’ve got yourself the perfect trio!
– The silver wall decals that add architecture to the room.
– The “Hope” Crib and Changing Table. Made in a gorgeous shade of pink, this crib is the combined effort of Little Crown Interiors and Newport Cottages, a luxury furniture maker. Proceeds from the sale of every “Hope” Crib go to Breast Cancer Research and the piece serves as a symbol of courage and compassion.
– The custom crib bedding. Love Bird Damask is my favorite fabric from Carousel Designs and I was so happy to see it in this nursery.
Ok.
I LOVE this entire room! Don’t you?
I’m in love.
Yes, I’m in love with this playroom. Can you blame me?
This lovely room was featured in Lonny Mag’s Spring 2011 issue as part of a spread done on a beautiful family home designed by interior designer Jeff Andrews. “As a family home, every room had to be good for the kids,” says Andrews. “They play everywhere, with no restrictions.”
The entire home was designed with the children in mind. When choosing items for the home, Andrews says that his criteria was that it not only had to be beautiful, it also had to be fun and interesting.
I highly recommend you check out the rest of the home on LonnyMag. But be warned, it is FABULOUS!
I think this traditional yet relaxed style works well for both parents and children to enjoy a little down time together.
What do you think?
This beautiful Mediterranean-inspired girl’s room by Lotus Blue Design {via little.lovely} caught my eye last month. What a beautiful space!
The furniture and paint color are muted but the fabric choices were bold and are what MAKE this room. A perfect example of how any room can look fabulous by simply coordinating the right bright textiles.
So tell me, what’s your favorite aspect of this room?
Has it inspired you?
Don’t be shy! Leave a comment =)

One of the best things about living in NYC is that there are so many wonderful events hosted in this city. Last week, I had the opportunity to attend Playtime New York, an international trade show dedicated to children, junior and maternity.
While most of the exhibitors were children’s fashions, I did come across several splurge-worthy shops for the nursery!
Here are some of my favorites…
1. h-luv fabrications | 2. mae | 3. woolly boo | 4. seven smootches | 5. mirasa

Remember when I told you how much I was loving Australians?
Well, my love for them just got a whole lot bigger!
Let me introduce you to ubabub …
ubabub is the brain child of 2 Aussie parents, Natasha and Daniel Dumais, who couldn’t find nursery furniture to suit their modern design style.
The sides of the Cot and Nifty are made of acrylic “evolving the look of traditional cot sides to enhance visibility and safety.”*
Unfortunately, ubabub is not yet available in the USA.
