Annie, of A Dorkable Annie, is patiently awaiting the arrival of her first baby. She has embraced her nesting instinct and created a classic, traditional, homespun and vintage-inspired space with soothing, soft colors draping everything in sight. Come take a our of Wyatt’s nursery…

Child’s Name: Wyatt
Child’s Age: Coming September 2011
Location: Oklahoma

Describe your decorating style: My style is definitely traditional with shabby, homespun and even country details. I want a space to feel cozy and welcoming — no museums!

What was your inspiration for the room?
I wanted a room that was warm, soothing, soft and functional.

Favorite items in the room:
I love the vintage pieces. I really scored after searching multiple antique store locations. Also the custom bookcases help make the room unique and functional.

Any advice to share with expectant moms  designing a nursery?
The last thing I wanted was for this room to be “matchy matchy”, but I didn’t want it to look hodgepodge either — that’s the tough part. Make sure you’re keeping track of your purchases by putting them up in the room as you get them. Don’t make the mistake of buying stuff randomly and letting it sit in the room until you’re ready to put the room together — you’ll forget what you already have and lose the focus of the room.
