The Nursery

A little room designed for one of life's biggest chapters.

This nursery was created in our own home as we prepared to welcome our daughter, a space filled with anticipation, sentiment, and all of the little details I imagined surrounding her during those first years. I didn't want it to feel overly themed or traditionally "baby." I wanted a sense of nostalgia and whimsy while still feeling sophisticated and connected to the rest of our home.

Rather than beginning with pink, I built the room around a soft, moody blue, layering in blush, dusty rose, cream, and antique gold. The vintage-inspired brass crib became an immediate focal point, almost like an heirloom.

COLLECTED, NOT THEMED

One of my favorite things about designing children's spaces is creating a world for them without relying on a literal theme. Here, that meant subtle references to childhood through rabbits, florals, and vintage-inspired artwork, gathered slowly rather than purchased as a matching set...

A nursery room with a blue floral rug, a dark upholstered armchair with a beige pillow, white and beige decorative fabric draped above a gold crib, and a window with blue curtains.
A blue wall corner with a framed picture of a rabbit, a wooden plaque with the name 'Prescott' and 'Evel,' a grey curtain with a gold bow tie, and a gold-colored metal bed rail.
A blue vintage dresser with gold handles and accents against a light blue wall decorated with various framed pictures including animals, clouds, and a ballet dancer. A white tray with pink peonies sits on top, and baskets with stuffed animals are on
A bedroom corner with a brass bed, a plush white ottoman, a navy blue armchair with beige pillows, blue curtains, and a light blue wall with bunny-themed art.
A walk-in closet with light blue and white checkered wallpaper, clothing on a copper-colored rod, a lavender storage bin on a white shelf, decorative framed pictures, a white head sculpture, a large light blue storage container, a small black speaker
A bedroom with a brass bed frame, a small white round ottoman with pink fringe, a navy velvet armchair with a pillow, a gray door, and a pastel pink flower-shaped ceiling light. There is also a cream and pink fabric garland hanging on the wall.
