• TR Mom HI

  Adorable nursery! I’m actually looking for wall shelving for my daughter’s nursery. Where did you get the white wall-mounted book shelves?

• Molly

  Joni, thank you so much! I’m truly honored to be a part of your fantastic blog. You’re the best! xo

  TR Mom,  they are the Ribba picture ledges from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20126065 
  Enjoy!

  This is seriously the cutest nursery I have seen in a long time!  I love so many of the touches…I would love to know where the doll with the kimono is from–so cute?!

• Mollyscott218

  Thanks so much, Kate! I found the doll at a local Japanese shop. I believe it’s called a kokeshi doll. Perhaps you can find one online?
  Best,
  Molly

• Charlie

  This is really adorable.  Where did you get the white storage space that is under the windows? That looks super handy!

• Molly

  Thanks, Charlie! It’s the Expedit shelf from Ikea.:

  Great room Molly! Where did you get frame for the vintage scarf?

• Molly

  Thanks! I bought it at a DIY frame shop in Brookline, MA called Framers’ Workshop:

  It’s kind of nuts–my name is Molly, my baby’s name is Zoe, and her nursery has a very similar color scheme. Just had to share. This one is much more stylish than ours, though!

• nicki

  I really love this nursery – it is exactly the style/colours/energy that I was hoping to create for the nursery of my little one (coming soon!) but I have no design sense, so had a hard time thinking about how to actually do it! This is wonderful inspiration! Can you tell me the colour of the walls??

• http://laybabylay.com Joni Lay

  Hi Nicki!  The wall color is Benjamin Moore Natura, Stonington Gray.  Hope that helps!

• Haydee

  Am really loving this nursery.  Love the use of gray these days, especially juxtaposed with the fun, bright pops of color.  Am looking for inspiration for two projects these days — converting my toddler twin girls’ nursery into a fun toddler room with room to play, and planning a NEW nursery for another little one on the way.  Looking for neutral themes because we are not going to find out the sex.  We love surprises.  Thanks for inspiring me. {PS My girls’ names are Zoe and Eva, so I’m a bit biased here!}

  Hi Molly,

  I’m trying to build up my baby’s library and was wondering if you could give me the titles of the books on the shelves. I recognize Pippi, Whistle for Willie, Madeline, and On Top of Spaghetti. The other books I can’t make out, but the covers alone look enticing! 

  Great job on your nursery. My husband and I looked to it for inspiration and followed suit on many of the things you did–paint color, lamp, and shelves. We’ve adapted your design for a boy, and it looks great. Thank you!

  Thank you so much! I’m flattered. And you’re talking to the right girl… I have a bit of an obsession with children’s books, being a preschool teacher. The books in question are:
  Bruno Munari’s ABCs
  The Cat At Night
  The Story Of Zachary Zween (out of print, but used copies are available)
  Seasons (by Blexbolex)

  Here are some of my absolute favorites for ages 0-3:
  The Gruffalo
  Where Is The Green Sheep?
  Lunch (by Denise Fleming)
  The Monster At The End Of This Book
  Quick As A Cricket
  Panda Cake (also out of print)

  Best of luck to you! I’d love to see a picture of your son’s nursery, if you wouldn’t mind sharing.

  The paint color is wonderful, a great neutral!  Where did you get the paint from and what is the color?

• Molly

  Thanks! I’m very happy with it.  It’s Benjamin Moore Natura, Stonington Gray.

• Katie M

  Okay, I know this was posted some time ago but would love to know where that blue throw is from on the rocking chair?! The balls on the end add at the perfect subtle and whimsical touch for a baby room. so many inspirational ideas through Joni and the real nurseries shared here.

• Molly

  So glad you like it!  It took some hunting down on my part at the time.  I bought mine on Amazon, but it’s now out of stock from that seller.  However, I did find this:

  Best of luck to you!

  Molly, I also love this nursery and want to use it as inspiration. Can you tell me where that dresser is from? It is beautiful.

• Molly

  Thank you, Anna! I had the dresser custom-made at a local furniture shop. I gave them a picture of this discontinued dresser from Room & Board (along with my desired dimensions): http://www.flickr.com/photos/stewf/2234480162/
  I’m so happy with the way it turned out.
  Happy planning!
