Laney’s Nursery

In Laney’s mind, she is most assuredly a “big girl”. But before she came to know everything at 2.5 years old, she once had a nursery. This is what it looked like…well wait before we look, I want to remind you that there were previous posts outlining some of the design process they are here, here and here in case you want to review.

This is Laney’s nursery at our old house (Connecticut House),

The wall color is Benjamin Moore’s Pink Damask and it was…and I hesitantly admit this because I get teased a lot around here about my affinity for the color white but the color in this room was too subtle, too light. So there you go Dan, have at it. The Feist print and bentwood stool were both baby gifts from Betsy and we are using those again in Laney’s big girl room. The rocker is Nurseryworks, which Target now carries.

The shelves are the trusty Ekby and bracket from IKEA. The owl print is by Hadley Hutton. The blocks are part of the Uncle Goose Alexander Girard set, porcelain lanterns are from West Elm, the bunny is Jellycat and its from my Mama and the rolling duck toy was DC’s and it was from Etsy. The Orla Kiely board books are both beautiful and functional.

The shades were custom, the sparrow mobile was my oldest daughter DC’s and it’s a Flensted mobile, the giraffe is a Sharon Montrose print, all of the bedding was made by my Grandma which I love and will always treasure especially the quilt and I know Laney will too. The pink chevron bumpers are made from Rubie Green’s East Village and a white linen/cotton blend. The piping and ties were made from a pink sheet set that I bought at Home Goods. The crib was DC’s and it was part of the Baby Mod collection at Walmart, similar here.

The bookcase/window seat is a Ikea Expedit (similar) bookcase with casters added to the bottom. The pillows were handmade by my Grandma with a gauzy linen stripe in the front and a pale pink block print from Purl Soho in the back. The vase I’ve had for a while, the ceramic elephant is vintage. The set of white alphabet books were a gift from our friends Kristine & Fred and we now have to read those things EVERY NIGHT, thanks guys! The round jute rug is from West Elm and has held up well in case you’re wondering. It was a hand me down from my Mom and it’s about 3+ years old, here’s a similar rug.
