Gals, this week’s ‘Mamma Monday’ post didn’t get posted
yesterday – oops. Forgive me.
The weekend was ROUGH – I was in bed and sick on my stomach
ALL day Saturday (I’m constantly telling myself that this baby girl does in fact
love me and that I love carrying her - #theStruggleisReal ). I’m giving up on hoping the sickness with
improve but I still battle the frustration of my low productivity levels. I want to do so much but my body will not let
me. Lots of prayer happening!
This week, I want to share with you Vivian’s nursery
design. It was inspired by this
Pinterest pic my gal pal showed me last year…
Lavender with pops of tangerine orange. It was different yet still feminine. I instantly knew this was the palette for a
girl’s nursery. With my own spin on it of course!
Here’s the design I created of what her nursery will actually
look like ….
For the walls I chose Sherwin Williams color ‘Inspired Lilac’
a super pale shade of lavender. Lighter is better with paint.
I’ve added pink in the lamp and rug and kept the orange to a
minimum with greek key trim on ivory silk drapes, a Hermes decorative box and
flecks of light orange in the rug.
The rug is even prettier in person, soft and much lighter in
color than online. It pulls in all 3
colors lavender, pink and orange in a traditional design.
I’m not a big fan of nursery furniture as it is temporary so
I opted to incorporate what I have and my traditional taste and am using my
antique buffet as the changing table. It
also breaks up all the pale hues with its rich dark wood.
I’m adding touches of gold and glam in the lighting, mirror,
pouf ottoman, small side table and frames.
The
crib is a classic – just like the one I had as a baby but in white.
The chair swivels and rocks – this piece of furniture is not
designed specifically for a nursery. When I found it I felt like I was sitting
on a cloud and I seriously wanted to close my eyes for a cat nap right in the
store. For fear of embarrassment I didn’t. You can choose from over 80 fabrics. I went with a textured cream. I have plans
for this chair to one day be my reading chair in our master bedroom.
For art I’m adding our Anne Neilson painting of angels, and pieces
my Mamma and sister have painted.
Everything has been purchased for her room with the
exception of ordering the chair and gold pouf. We hope
to begin decorating in the next week now that our living room renovation is
almost complete – I need to share that fun project with you!
I can’t wait to share the finished room with you later this
month!!!
I hope you like it – check out my Nursery Pinterest
