Description

I wanted a feminine nursery for my new baby girl that was calming colors. I chose yellows, greys, and khaki's.

Child's Name: Marylou

Child's Age: expected 2-26-10

Location: Seattle, WA

Design inspiration:
The bedding, i found this wonderful floral Joel Dewberry bedding from Javis Davis. I wanted something feminine, but not pink, this fit the bill perfectly!
Decorating style:
Traditional
Project details:
I kept the wall color the same except the wall behind the crib I painted one shade darker and did decals from etsy. I bought most of my furniture from pottery barn, its simple and can be used for future children.
Favorite items:
Its a tie between the floral mirror i got at a consignment shop and painted yellow, the three bird art panels my mother painted for me and the darling rocker from Jessica Charles.

Advice:
take it slow -i started this at 18 weeks and finished when i was 39 weeks. If you are doing something non-traditional, it takes time to find peices that work.

I love that you steered clear of the pink but didn't add searing neon colors in its place. The room looks very warm and calm, reminds me of a sunny afternoon.

I am thinking that it might be too "old"? But then again, I love the yellow/grey/khaki color scheme :) And I love that chocolate brown/mahogany furnitures :)
