Sugar & Spice Nursery Design: Budget Series

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

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

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.

Mountain Nursery Inspiration

Hi everyone and happy Thursday! As always I am back on here after over a month… just terrible of me, but I’ve been getting back in the swing of my fall semester of my junior year. With my crazy schedule I still have been thinking of some design ideas to bring to you though! Recently I have come to the idea that I want to show you all what I can put together for every and any room in your home!

So far I’ve brought content featuring, kitchen, living spaces, bedroom and bathroom designs. Today I wanted to change it up and branch out to feature a nursery design for any of you that are preparing for a new baby, or already have little ones and love to find new inspiration like this!

I started with the focal pieces of furniture and decor, and added a few little touches like the table lamp, desk and crib sheet and blankets. I’ll have everything linked below through description, but if you would like any other accent ideas feel free to contact me! xo, G
