Color Series: Boys Nursery

November 22, 2024November 21, 2024Leave a comment

Welcome to the 3rd color inspired design in this series! We all know that neutrals are trendy, a monochromatic color palette, but would you think to go darker? Today’s design was inspired by Benjamin Moore’s 2025 Color Trends – Chowning’s Tan and Leather Saddle Brown. The two also pair beautifully with a creamy white if you want a brighter space with a darker accent wall. But I love a room styled to keep you feeling warm and cozy, and I think this one does just that by bringing in these dark brown tones. Also, how sweet is the Blessed Are the Children art piece above the crib. Take a look below and let me know what you think! XO – G

Modern Vintage Glam Nursery: Budget Series

September 6, 2024September 3, 2024Leave 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

August 30, 2024August 29, 2024Leave 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

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

August 16, 2024August 15, 2024Leave 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

Neutral Animal Nursery

January 25, 2019January 25, 2019Leave a comment

What’s the next cutest thing to a brand new baby? Baby animals! That’s exactly what the inspiration was for this nursery. I came across the cutest animal paintings by Kate and Laurel from Target. There were so many to choose from, but I ended up picking the baby lion, bear and cheetah. I wanted to keep this nursery gender neutral, as I envisioned a more natural space surrounding the art pieces.

The furniture I found is more modern, as are most of the accent pieces, but this design could totally be done around a more traditional styled home. You could change out the side table and dresser for something with a cleaner look and simpler lines. That’s the fun thing about design, things can always be changed up or replaced! Let me know what you think, XO, G.

Navy Blue Star Nursery

Hello! I’m excited to share this star/constellation themed nursery today with you all! It’s sort of a classic and something you may see quite a bit in nurseries, but I wanted to keep it simple and sophisticated. The light blue greyish wall color will grow with your child, and the rug could be used in any room of the house. Also, once the topper on the dresser is removed, you have a timeless piece of furniture to keep forever!

Take a look and let me know if you have any questions or are in need of some design guidance or more inspiration! I’ll have everything linked through its description below. XO, G

Floral Blush Pink Nursery

December 7, 2018January 3, 2019Leave a comment

Hi everyone and happy Friday! Today I am back with another one of my own designs that I put together. I’m sticking to the avenue of kids spaces and nurseries for now, so I wanted to bring a design for a girls nursery this time. I wanted to showcase the big picture of what I had in mind, and left lots of ideas for accessorizing the space for if it were to ever come to life! (some picture frames, or another basket for blankets next to the rocking chair) Almost everything is from Target, other things I needed to look around to find exactly what I envisioned. It’s all about sourcing and where you’ll find what you need!

I went for a lot of pink, bringing in different tones, while still wanting to keep the calmer colors of cream and white stand out. This room would most likely be painted a warm neutral color in my eyes. The gold accents are my favorite touch, but those few pieces could always be switched out for something more subtle. Take a look and let me know what you think, I’ll have everything linked below!

And if you know of anyone looking for some design consulting on a project, have them contact me. Thanks for coming by, xo G.
