Styling Spaces: Nursery & Kids

Leave a comment

Another Friday, another design! Today we are wrapping up my design series ‘Styling Spaces’, and this one is for the nurseries and kids rooms. When it comes to designing spaces for your little ones, you don’t need much for décor pieces. The focus is going to be on the wall art and adding special touches here and there. You don’t want them grabbing breakables throughout their room! I curated the below pieces typical to my other nursery designs and what’s most important. Wall shelves and an art piece, plus practical storage. I added here a fun elephant piggy bank, coordinating picture frames and the ultimate stuffed animals by Jellycat. You have to check them out if you aren’t already familiar! Let me know if you have questions as you shop. As always, thanks for stopping by! XO, G

Styling Spaces: Bath & Laundry

Leave a comment

Happy Friday! Who’s been doing their Fall cleaning?! I always find myself in a mood to clean with each new season. And what makes cleaning even better?? When your space is beautifully created. It makes things feel just put together! Today’s design is all about the rooms you’re cleaning in – the bath and laundry rooms. These spaces are not always the most glamorous, but there are pockets of space to create some sophistication. I love to find style in storage pieces in these spaces like baskets and jars. Small wall décor can also go a long way. Adding a wall shelf to your laundry or bathroom adds room for storage and styling pieces too. Check out the details below and let me know what you think! How do you make your laundry and bath rooms feel more elevated? Thanks for stopping by – XO, G

Styling Spaces: Kitchen & Dining

Leave a comment

Welcome to my next design series! My favorite thing – styling a space. From open shelving, an end table, the walls, we will style it all when it comes to Greta Lee Designs! I try to be more minimal when it comes to styling, but you want to fill a space with just enough to bring warmth and dimension to it. Bare spaces are a no! These next 4 weeks I’ll take you through 4 different spaces of a home. First up is the heart of a home. The kitchen & dining rooms! Styling a kitchen is so fun, because most of the pieces you are going to use. Makes it somewhat easier, and practical. I’ve pieced together the finds below inspired by my own kitchen! A serving board for breads, pizza night or a charcuterie board. I love any type of serving bowl for hosting. And don’t forget to display those cookbooks! You can pull those out and read them like a magazine. I hope you feel inspired to bring some life to your kitchen cabinets and gather some people around food! Come back next week for round 2 of styling your space! XO – G

Modern Vintage Glam Nursery: Budget Series

Leave a comment

The last nursery of this budget design series… but this one is for the budget breakers! Who’s with me?! I very much still stuck around our original price target of $1,500 for furniture and a few décor pieces, but it was time to change it up. I wanted to end on something unexpected and different, and this design says it all! I am loving the darker furniture color here and the cranes wallpaper. The black and acrylic crib is different, but pairs so well with this luxury vintage flared inspired room. I envisioned a wallpaper focal art piece, and that’s where this print comes into play. Imagine it framed out however small or large you want to go on your focal wall. Our furniture was a save here still, but the recliner and glider rocker from Namesake was our splurge. Can you guess how over budget I went? We reached a budget total of about $1,910. There’s always a little bit for everyone when it comes to designing and sticking to a budget! Thanks so much for following along these past 4 weeks. Stay tuned for our next design series! XO – G

Monochromatic Jungle Nursery: Budget Series

Leave a comment

We’ve all seen the neutral nurseries. Cream is the color! But what about sticking to all blues, purples or pinks?! Today’s nursery was inspired by my first neutral nursery, but I wanted to stray away from the cream colored palette. I found myself sticking to a blue gray color base. The rug is our pop of art here, with the coordinating wall color. But the rest of the pieces and colors are very monochromatic. I think this design is peaceful in a way, with a lot of room to grow for styling if you’d like. Maybe add another pop of color to the crib sheets or changing pad cover. When sticking to a budget, the big pieces are where your money is going to go, but keep the décor simple and you still have a perfect space for your little cub to grow. Today’s total was $1,162. Just one more week of sticking to a budget here! Haha. I hope you are enjoying this series. We’ll see you back soon – XO, G

Navy Sport: Budget Series

Leave a comment

Talk about a score card!! This week’s nursery design is coming in at $1,300, plus some $ for shelf styling. If you can’t tell, I’m really keeping these budget nurseries simple. You don’t need much, but a few pieces coordinated well can make a room feel special. The peel and stick wallpaper is a great way to create an accent wall, making your space feel more elevated. I’m using Etsy prints again for wall art! These can easily be interchanged and ones that will grow with your child. And always a mirror to capture sweet moments with your baby while you watch them grow into who they are. I love book shelves or wall shelves, whichever you have more space and use for. I found these smaller shelves from Target, perfect for above the changing dresser for needed items or sentimental pieces to display. I hope you feel inspired here as you dream of your next space coming to life! – XO, G

Sugar & Spice Nursery Design: Budget Series

Leave a comment

Another Friday, another design! And this weeks design kicks off our 2nd series, designing on a budget! Don’t get me wrong, I tend to have expensive taste and want to pick the best of the best, but we can’t always go crazy and spend $5,000 on a bedroom makeover. I also have a degree in Accounting and who doesn’t love to budget a little to see their bank account grow? Keep your money circulating though to see it come back to you, and you have the best of both worlds! So today we’re combining design and budgeting in one. I’m a firm believer that spaces, colors, and pieces that surround you will influence your energy and moods. Creating a space for your baby and kids will be that much more special to both them and you. I’m setting the budget for these next 4 nurseries to be under $1,500! We’re putting most of the budget to the big pieces; the rocker, crib and dresser. As for décor, you can stay fairly simple with bookshelves, frames that you could thrift and fill with Etsy prints, and I love wall decals or peel & stick wall paper to fill an accent wall. Paint can also be an easy room transformation, but the supplies to do so can get expensive. I budgeted on the higher end at $100, but that may be a spot you can save on! Let me know if you have any budgeting questions, or if there is something you want to see on next week’s saving design. Thanks for stopping by! XO – G

A Fairy Garden Nursery

Leave a comment

I’m sharing with you today the 4th final nursery design in this print inspired series! This purple floral print has been the sweetest blanket I’ve sewn yet. Make sure you head to my Instagram page and swipe to see the pattern! Surprisingly, I did not go the purple color route for this one. I found a floral printed glider from the Home Depot and really built the design around it. The furniture pieces from Pottery Barn Kids led me to picture an enchanted, whimsical garden, like the blanket print, but the grey washed tone kept this design bright. Hence the name Fairy Garden! The accents in this nursery are really simple then. Crepe paper wall flowers and little butterflies from Pottery Barn Kids, a rug to ground the space. Sometimes, less is more! Yet I loved going outside the typical pink or purple nursery design. I am making sure I challenge myself in these vision boards. You’ll also find two of my favorite baby brands I love to follow! If you haven’t noticed, I’m building a baby boutique for everyone along with my designs 😉 BabyBjörn’s Bouncer is one of the simpler bouncers on the market to sit your baby in and play. It can also easily be moved around your house and folds flat when not in use! And for the sweetest and softest outfits for your baby, I turn to Lou Lou and Company for sophisticated patterns. The florals fit this design just perfectly! You may not always have a room you need to shop for, but shopping for babies and kids will always be needed. Let me know if you’re in need of a gift guide!

Thank you for following along these past 4 designs! I hope you’ll be back for the next series! – XO, G

A Bear in the Forest – Nursery Design

Leave a comment

Week 3 of my nursery design series! Which one will be your favorite?! Today’s design is inspired by a camo print blanket I’m working on sewing. I pieced a room around it, wanting a space to bring you into another world. Just like the forest does! Wallpaper is a really fun way to dress up a room and transport you somewhere else. This pine tree print varying in shades of green is almost dreamy. You might be taken to a drive up the mountains, or to the Christmas tree farm where the snow has fallen. It’s just perfect! I chose another iron crib by Namesake, this time in gold. I loved the contrast here against the green, but it does come in two other finishes. A crib is really what grounds a nursery, but I kept the dresser and glider still different and fun. I went with a taller dresser this time, although you may want to do lower for an easier changing station. The changing basket in front of the dresser can be moved around the house too if you’d like. And then how sweet and cozy is the textured glider. I need to see it in person soon! These designs are all about inspiring you and hoping you find a piece that excites you as you dream up your next space!

Make sure to check out the links below to the décor pieces. The fun bear accents like the bear mobile, bear bookends or the classic bear rocker. I also found the animal tracks art piece to be so fun!
