Lay Baby Lay - Nursery Inspiration & Delights!

Here is a bit of inspiration for a girly room that isn’t too girly.  It’s sophisticated and has some feminine details, but the mix of modern touches keep it grounded. I can’t get enough of InaLuxe – might have to snag a piece for the new nursery!  I have used that glider a few times lately in style boards, but I finally saw it in person last week, and sat in it, and it’s just as lovely as you might imagine as well as incredibly comfortable.  The back comes up really high, too, which is a plus.  It’s challenging to find a glider that has a taller back, and that drove me crazy about the glider in Vivi’s room.  I would be so tired, and couldn’t lean my head back . . . I’m hoping we can get one that is a bit taller, but tailored, this time around.  I’m dreaming about the Empire Rocker . . .

I have always loved this Domino room from a few years back:Since today is a big day for our nation, I thought it would be fun to do a nursery inspired by this room, perhaps a little less political and a bit more patriotic:I’m a big fan of that wallpaper.  (Spoiler: we may or may not be using some of the black version in Peanut #2′s room).  I hope you get out to vote today!  I was a little worried about voting with a toddler in tow, but we had the nice surprise of no line!

This board has a similar palette to this one from last week, but I am just loving this combination of colors right now.  It just feels soothing and happy to me.  I know that chair is a bit, um, unconventional and perhaps impractical for a nursery, but perhaps it’s a reflection of my current search for the perfect rocker/glider that seems to be a bit challenging . . . and I kind of want to curl up in it and take a nap right now.

{Don’t forget to enter the Small Talk Studio giveaway – winner will be announced tomorrow!} I’m always enchanted by the photos of the vintage cameras I come across on Etsy and thought it would make a sweet space, so here is a board inspired by those reminders of another time.

I thought this would make a fun room for the puppy enthusiast.  I love all the black and white dog photos, and how gorgeous is that crib?  I know, it’s quite pricey, but it’s so beautiful.  I haven’t found a lot of really great-looking black cribs.  A classic favorite is the black Jenny Lind, but there aren’t many clean, modern options, and I have been wanting to use this crib somewhere.  Just for fun, here is the design on a pretty wallpaper backdrop:
