Someone gave me a wonderful gift from Mamma Mio while I was pregnant and I loved the Robin's Egg blue color of the packaging. I found a paint color to match for the walls and the rest came together from there! When I found out we were having a girl, I decided that yellow would be a fun accent color (it would have been orange if it were a boy). I wanted the room to feel cheerful, happy and fun because that's the life I want for my daughter.

My decorating style is colorful, whimsical, and airy. I like mixing old and new things and handmade touches. I always like a room to have some sort of surprise for the eyes that adds a unique touch.

The wall color is from Benjamin Moore and the shade is #618, Robin's Nest. The bedding is from Nursery Works: it's called "Macaroni" in the color canary; it has been discontinued, but there are lots of other great choices where I bought it at www.modernnursery.com. The cube shelving is from Ikea as is the Malm dresser. To give the dresser more kick, I covered a few of the fronts with a natural shade of seagrass wallpaper. It adds texture and interest without making it stand out too much. It also makes the dresser look more upscale (in my opinion). The "hooray" banner came from etsy by the seller Nice. Shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/nice. We got the dachshund lamp, felt "ollie" owl, and mobile from www.modernnursery.com. The crib is by Oeuf. The elephant hamper came from Home Decorators...it's the lighter natural shade in size medium: http://www.homedecorators.com/search.php?search=elephant+hamper&x=0&y=0

The owl lamp came from Anthropologie as a Christmas gift from my husband...along with the owl collage (by Petite Collage http://www.petitcollage.com/). We also got the embroidered lampshades from Anthropologie. Petite Collage also made the bamboo bird mobile. We got the white shaggy rug from Crate and Barrel www.crateandbarrel.com. The yellow chair is a reupholstered $9 score from Salvation Army. I got the fabric for the fabric hoops on the wall from Purl Soho (www.purlsoho.com)

The art above the crib: The right image is a from a book cover (about children's book illustration). The left image of the elephant is my own drawing/design. The curtains were a find from www.walmart.com.

There are blackout shades in the windows, hidden by the curtains. We added Martha Steward decorative ribbon to the bottoms of the shades to add interest to the otherwise boring plain white surface. The ribbon comes with adhesive already applied, so it was an easy project. The shades are used every nap and every night!
