Baby Girl's Nursery Design

I'm living vicariously through a client of mine:  She's having a baby girl and I designed her nursery!  I'm doing the final installation today with my assistant, Meghan, and we're so excited!!

My client was looking for a fun, sophisticated nursery.  {When I walked into her living room for the first time, it looked like it had been done professionally, although she did it herself, so she has an amazing sense of style.}  She wanted fresh & happy and not over-the-top girly.  She's drawn to paisley and florals.  I thought I'd share our plans with you, so here's the floorplan we created for her:




And here's a quick peek at the pieces selected:

{The mobile (top left) has been custom made in our colors from Pink Perch on etsy.   We've done curtains out of the Schumacher floral (top right) and used the paisley blockprinted crib bedding, lamp, chair & table pictured.}

Here's a close-up of the Schumacher fabric:


It's wild & fun & not your typical girly floral. 

We mixed a few Pottery Barn kids pieces with a custom green viney chandelier by Stray Dog Designs  (one of my new favorites for lighting!) and an overscale seaweed print that we'll be tacking up with nailhead.  The "LILY" drawing on the right is a mock-up of a framed fabric panel with wooden beads & letters draped over it for the room.  The green polka-dotted fabric at bottom right is the fabric we used.


Here's a pic of the project {mid-stage} to give you an idea of what it actually looks like:


We're leaving in a couple of hours & I cna't wait to share 'after' pics with you!!
Even if I never have a little girl of my own (fingers still crossed though!) at least I got this chance to do little sweetie Lily's nursery!!  She's due in May and we're so happy for our clients!! 


xoxo, Lauren

  4. What a beautiful sophisticated yet whimsical design. I always love how you introduce florals in your rooms. I never use them in my home but have become very inspired to maybe try! I really love the Lilly frame. So adorable. I am so glad that you are able to still keep your blog up to date since you are so very busy. I really enjoy reading your posts and getting an inside peak at what you do! The room you did in the design home was just so special {loved the large window seat}l! I am sure you are going to get even busier now and much recognition for your style and creativity! Have fun!

  16. Oh so sweet! Well done Lauren. My daughter (also named Lauren) has gone by the nickname Lolly forever - until about a month ago. Now she has renamed herself Lily ('can we change it legally?' - she's only 8!). So, I am very partial to the name Lily AND Lauren. Hugs.

  27. Love the blue ball lamp that you picked. I have it on my mood board for my living room design, but haven't found anywhere that has it in stock. Do you mind sharing where you got it from?

  28. Oh, your client must be thrilled!!!! The decor can grow with Lily and the mom will love being in her nursery, too.

    Can't wait to see the installation!
