Modern & Sweet Nursery Design

Hello all!  Welcome to 2014!  I love the possibility of a fresh new year, don't you? And, I don't think there's a better way to get it kicked off than with a baby girl nursery design.  I am currently in the process of consulting with a friend on her new home's interiors, and our next task on the list is preparing a nursery for her baby girl, due in 3 short months!  My friend has already purchased a white Jenny Lind crib, so I was naturally inclined to draw inspiration from more modern children's spaces.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Taylor Sterling of The Glitter Guide shared her baby daughter Elodie's nursery design a few months ago, and I adore the whimsical gallery wall she created above her crib:

I love that she chose to incorporate a mid-century modern wooden dresser in to the room.  And how adorable are the decorative accessories on top?

Taylor utilizes this ikea cart for Elodie's shoes, clothes, and changing supplies.  It's a perfect idea for extra storage in a small space!

I love that this young girl's room incorporates a Madeline Weinrib rug and a Venetian mirror, creating a chic yet livable design:

Blogger Christine created a cozy, modern space for her son Jasper.  I love the funky sconce lighting and the brass pendant, as well as the sheepskin rug:

I love this quirky, crib-side vignette:

Here is the initial design plan I created for my friend.  The color palette of chartreuse, pink, coral, and white creates a serene, yet sweet, vibe:

I really love the idea of creating draperies with a tassel trim.  And how fun would this Jonathan Adler etagere be for displaying books and toys?!

I can't wait to share the process with you, and the final reveal!  It's going to be a fun project.  Happy Thursday!
