Last night I happened to catch an episode of Pure Design on HGTV. In this episode Samantha created a safe, eco-friendly nursery for a hip & stylish expecting couple. I found it very inspiring. I know that it’s meant to be a baby’s room, but I just really don’t care for all the usual over-the-top kiddie looking decor. I found this room to be a nice balance between stylish enough for the adult parents to love and fun/funky enough to make a great baby room.
My Favorite Parts of the Room:
- Great celadon color on the walls. I just love this color. Our spare room (one day nursery) is actually already painted a color close to this. {She used 2028-60 Celadon Green from Bejamin Moore}
- I love the rocker used in the room. I can’t find exactly what rocker was used in this room, but the lines of it are very similar to the Luca Glider. I love the chocolate option but at $945 I would never buy it…I could buy a whole new sofa with that kind of money.
- I liked the way they used some inexpensive items and re-purposed items. The crib is the Gulliver crib from Ikea (only $100) and the changing table was re-purposed from a dresser they already had. Even though these items were cheap they looked very stylish in the room.
- Great handmade toys/animals from miru’s friends
- The organic bedding and mattress came from Baby on the Hip (although cute, it’s a little expensive for my taste).
- Hand made items like the cut out animals glued onto the wall. (She used wrapping paper and wallpaper to cut out animal shapes, then children’s glue to adhere them to the wall). I also liked the hand made mobile. A simple and colorful mobile was made using 2 dowel rods and some small chinese lanterns.
