Baby Hayes' Nursery

An overwhelmed pregnant bestie living 150 miles away, called me to help her with her baby girl's nursery.

She has existing furniture that she plans to paint white, her very own beautiful colorful paintings, and a few animal print decorative accessories. During a previous telephone chat with the lil mamma, I recommended a neutral and recommended a grey wall (since she has so many colorful pieces for the walls), she agreed. She has existing dark hardwood floor, dark wood crib (which will be painted white), a dresser painted white, a glider that will be painted white and recovered, two lamps with animal print shades, animal print hamper, and several bright paintings of wild animals.

So, you may ask, what is it that she needs help with?

Simple, she was uncertain about mixing patterns and color selection--many people have this issue. Not sure how to mix patterns, textures, or even color. She needed a rug, fabric for recovering an existing glider, custom bedskirt, and custom window treatments.

I began by creating a collage of the existing pieces, then I added the 3 selected rugs and 3 patterned fabrics for each design space.

Here's the 3 designs  I created for Baby Hayes' nursery:

Go ahead, vote for the nursery you like best!
