Nursery Inspiration

Love floating shelves with books and toys, and baskets underneath for more toys!

 

This is artist Michelle Armas' nursery.  The paint color is very unique.  Love the gray crib and artwork above the crib.

More floating shelves and a tassel for the door.

More floating shelves for books and baskets underneath.

 

Light and airy.

 

More of the same...

 

Pretty sure this is a store, but obviously the concept works in a nursery as well.

This sounds like a refreshing summer drink!

 

Ready to add to my stack.

 

Sweet nursery.

 

I just like this.

 

More inspiration for my stack.

 

Raw edge bathroom shelf.

 

These guys (or gals, who knows) make leashes out of climbing rope.  I think Sadie needs one for her 3rd birthday.

 

Dark mantle.  Brick fire places usually seem to get painted a lighter shade, but I love this dark blue/grey.

Love these boots but Alex has forbidden any more boot purchases until we have a bigger house.

 

 

More large scale black and white.

 

Bedding. curtains, and paint cover.

 

More utensil crocks and kitchen plants, my tastes are consistent.

 

Hair inspiration.  After chopping it off, now I want to grow it back out.

 

Breakfast berries with a bit of granola and powdered sugar.  Yum.

The photo dump from my phone continues...

 

Don't you want to spend a lazy weekend by this fire?

 

Love the kilm bench.

 

Handleless mug.

 

I kind of love the pale blue and tan/gold combo going on here.

 

Boho nursery.

 

Inviting.

 

Love this chair.

 

Saved this one to use as an idea for an arrangement for a similar vase I have.

 

Love the leather couch and the large scale black and white behind it.

 

Such a fun nursery.

 

Can't remember if I save this one for the buffet set up or the light fixture...or both.

 

Kate Spade initial necklace.

 

Love the exaggerated bow on this wreath.

 

More large scale black and white photography.

 

Hair and outfit.

 

I like the idea of different color upper and lower cabinets.

 

More fruit and muffin ideas for weekend guests.

 

Hummus topped with feta, bell peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers (I'm pretending like the olives aren't even there, running the whole thing).

 

Like the vignette, minus the top hat.

 

Bedding and full length mirror.

Love the dark wall (but I would do it all or nothing, I'm not a fan of accent walls...and I would do black/dark blue paint, not chalkboard paint), warm wood dresser, modern looking crib, the basket under the chair and the side table.

 

This makes me really want a dark blue china cabinet...I could do without the antlers even though I know they're kind of in right not and even though I love brass I'd trade the tree pot for something else (basket or galvanized steel maybe).

 

What a cozy fireplace, I would love to sit and read here.

 

Cute for a teen.  Like the mix of patterns and think you could pick some more sophisticated patterns to recreate an adult version.

 

I think I save every pic of Erika from Urban Grace's house she posts on Instagram.  Love the bamboo shade/curtain combo.

Nursery Inspiration

Yet another thing I'm just collecting ideas for, for now.

Normally I love bright colors and it surprised me how neutral this collection of nursery pics I saved on my computer all were!

Walls, dresser, and basket are my fav things in this one.

I think I liked the crib in this one, now that I look at the pic again I can't remember for sure.

It was the shelves here...although I assume a little child grabbing the book off the shelf before he/she had the strength/coordination to do it would be a safety issue!

Nursery Inspiration

 

Me needing a nursery is MUCH, MUCH farther away than my birthday, but being the planner I am I can't help saving inspiration when I come across nurseries I like.  Here is what I like about this one.

 

The modern crib with other, mostly traditional, furniture.  The gray rocker and ottoman...although I'm not sold on the contrast piping.  Yes it ties all the white together, but it might be a little too matchy matchy.  The garden stool next to the rocker.  While I like the lookf of it, I don't know how practical it would be.  A side table might be better and a floor lamp to give some light to that corner since I hate overhead lighting.  Speaking of overhead lighting, I do like the whimsy this fixture adds to the room but I'm not sure I'd use the same thing...maybe just something more interesting that the builder specials that are normally in bedrooms.  The dresser, although I think I'd like dark wood instead a. so it wouldn't be so matchy and b. so it could be used later in a bedroom.  I like the gray and the white and don't think navy is a bad additiona to the color scheme, but I doubt I'll have peach in my nursery since its one of my least favorite colors nor will I have wall paper/and accent wall.  I'm strongly against accent walls and usually only like wall paper in small bathrooms...even then you have to be careful of the paper you choose.

I used to be obsessed with navy velvet, then I realized it would always be covered in Sadie hair.  Maybe green would be a better shade for me!

 

 

Love these striped curtains, in another color I'd put them in my room, as is they are perf for a kid's room!

 

 

Love this mixed and match navy bedding.

 

 

More striped curtains and navy bedding...I just now noticed the trend here!
