another baby, another nursery...

I recently found out that two of my very best friends are going to be mommies- or is it mommys- they both look wrong, to me. Anyway, true to form, I haven't been able to think of anything but nursery designing, dreaming, and decorating. Since they are both having sweet baby girls, I have been extra excited thinking pink for a change! I found the coolest inspiration at houzz.com (awesome site btw) and pulled the colors out. It's basically just the primaries- so typical of me- I love the contrast of bright, bold colors...

I tried to capture the modern and inviting feel of the inspiration piece but with less of the clutter. The geometric wallpaper and and modern crib contrast with the eames chair and traditional dresser and bedding giving the space an ecclectic aire. The feminine chandelier and pretty vases balance the bright red striped rug and the pops of humor found in the accessories and art. I love this nursery. It's the type of place that I would want to live- and it would definitely grow up wth her!

Then I also created a more calming styleboard using the same color scheme. I added warmth to the walls and found a rug and chair with softer tones. I only used small pops of bright color.
