Pink and Grey Nursery

 I recently had the opportunity to do some custom textiles for a baby girl's nursery! My client wanted Pink and Grey with a mix of prints and patterns.

 

This was my original design board for the room.

 

Virtual design of the teething bumper and crib skirt.

 

 

Fabric options! Aren't these just too cute!?

 

And here is the finished product!

 

Crib bumpers are out and teething bumpers are in! Teething bumpers are a huge trend in the baby world right now! Not only are they cute, but they also help to protect the furniture!

I went with an all grey and white Damask ruffled crib skirt!

It's hard to see from the pic, but the ribbon ties are grey with white polka dots :)

 

This is the custom name banner I made for above the crib. The picture is not that great due to the flash reflecting off the wall...

I used a pink chevron ribbon and fabric scraps from the other baby items. Each letter is appliqued to the banner flags.

 

I just love the way all of these fabrics compliment each other! Such a cute, girly room!

 

 

 

Five Simple Decorator Tips!

 

Tip #1: Just because a fabric is made to run vertically, doesn't mean you have to use it that way!

These gorgeous custom made grey and white stripe curtains were made from a vertical stripe fabric. I just cut the fabric down the middle and turned it on its side, then sewed the two together right along the stripe so you can't see it!  Then you have horizontal striped curtains! You can also save a TON on fabric yardage by doing it this way!

 

Tip #2: Put flowers in wall sconces instead of candles!

There is no rule that says you can't use other items to fill candle sconces! In this case the faux flowers add height, color, and texture!

Tip #3: Hang an old window as art!

This old window was removed from an old home that was about to be bulldozed! You can find them at antique shops, yard sales, Craigslist, or salvage yards! It adds instant character to a space!

 

Tip #4: Use a table runner to add texture and warmth to your table!

Pick a pattern you love and cut a long narrow piece. Just turn the edges under and stitch them down (or if you don't sew, use stitch witch and an iron)!

Tip#5: It is okay to use faux flowers for decorating!

Check your local craft store for silk flowers on clearance! You can put them in a vase, a pitcher, candle holder, or mason jars for a unique look! This entire project only cost $8!!
