If I were having a baby...

...and it was a girl
(no, I'm not pregnant)


I was doing my usual perusing of Anthropologie's website when I came across the most beautiful wallpaper I had ever seen - Watercolor Peony. That, of course, sent my crazy brain into a tailspin thinking about how I could possibly use this gorgeous paper and decided I needed to design a nursery around it. 

What? Is that not what you do on your crazy Saturday nights??

I am so in love with how it turned out - just the right mix of pink, vintage, traditional, and modern. Perfect for a future little girl!


A few of my favorite things: 

{1} Vintage Barbie Prints from Layla Grace - I saw these a few years ago and fell in love with them. I was obsessed with Barbie as a little girl, so I think they would be precious in a nursery. 

{2}Vintage Gold Sputnik Chandelier - (via Little Green Notebook) Loving the modern touch this pendant lends to the room. I'm sure any little baby would love staring up at this beauty!

{3} Anthropologie Watercolor Peony Wallpaper - How gorgeous is this?? Such a beautiful backdrop for a nursery. I'm too chicken to actually put wallpaper up on the walls, so these wallpaper panels would be framed in acrylic, like so: 
{another Little Green Notebook find - she's a genius}
Baby can't mess them up, and you can pack them up and take them with you if you move! 

{4} Gold Pagoda Mirror - to add a little glam and Chinoiserie chicness to the room

{5} Ceiling paint - no boring white ceilings here. Your ceiling is your fifth wall, don't forget about it!

{6} Jenny Lind Crib - I just so happen to love these classic cribs, but if you are splurging on other pieces in your nursery and are looking for an affordable crib option, Jenny Lind's your gal. I'd love to paint one a soft pink for this nursery (and it can easily be painted another color for the next baby.)

{7} White cornice boards, white drapes, navy greek key trim - Easy peasy and super cheap if you use affordable drapes from Ikea.

{8} Who said toy storage has to be boring? Loving the look of this fun basket to store those unsightly toys.



Thanks for the inspiration, Anthro!
