Hello and welcome back! After a few months off, I am back, hoping to bring more design series to you. I’m starting off with a fun one; What I’m Shopping For. It seems like you can never have enough opportunity for storage. My bedroom accent pillows are taking over our floor, and a place to get your socks on each morning sounds like a luxury! I’ve been looking for a bench to elevate our master bedroom and provide functionality. I’m sharing a few options below all under $200. The second bench stands out to me with the accented curved legs. Now, when will I add it to the cart? Which one is your favorite?!
Welcome back! It’s Friday and I have another design series to kick off today. The next 4 designs will be all about wallpaper! It may seem dated, but the fun patterns and colors have really been making a comeback the last few years. I think it adds a special touch to any space, big or small. And in nurseries, the trend is to have an accent wall. Why not add a perfect print to build a design around! I’ve found that US Wall Decor has a really great selection of prints. Today I found this sweet neutral animal print. I loved that I could play more into the grey undertones, with pops of warm neutrals in the picture frames and baskets. Take a look at the design below and let me know what you think! XO – G
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
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!
