My Room: Baby Girl "B"
Laguna Nigel, California

Name: "B"

Location: Laguna Nigel, California

Lauren (and her family) did a super job on the room waiting for Baby "B". She writes: So much love and family effort has gone into preparing the nursery for our first child, due in early April. The first piece we purchased was the beautiful Nurseryworks crib, and from there the room took off. My talented sister found the gorgeous Trina Turk fabric that we used to re-upholster the glider she rocked both of her baby girls in...

 
 

Both my husband and I's families spent many hours helping us paint the room, install crown moulding, and add personalized touches (including the enlarged photos of us as children) to make the room feel warm and inviting. We are thrilled with how it turned out and hope our baby girl will be, too.

Thanks, Lauren!

Wow- it's beautiful!
I really like the colors, the fact that you didn't pick up a "theme" (like most people) and of course the highlight- your photos as children!

This is a beautiful room. I love how it isn't too matchy-matchy but still looks coordinated and modern. Great job!

That chair is so great! Fun and bright, it really makes the room. This is a room that will surely grow with your child.

What a beautiful room! Please tell what paint color and brand you used. I think it is just the perfect shade of blue, not too overpowering, not too dull.
Thanks!

Thank you all for the wonderful comments!

K.Ann, the letter is from Anthropologie- it comes in zinc, and was painted with 3 coats of the yellow paint.

Maggie8830, the color is Blu Angel from Benjamin Moore's Aura line.

Love the chair! And I love the bright watermelon pink on the crib bedding. It's a feminine room without being too girly. Very nice.

Was wondering if you did the reupholstery of the glider yourself or hired outside vendor? If so can you recommend? Thanks!

I have the sam crib and had purchased a bumper that did not fit, where did you purchase your crib bedding and did it fit right away or did you have to alter it?
