apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

love love love it!!!

GREAT colors!

I love that this space uses IKEA and the color yellow but pulls it off with taste!

I'm really falling for yellow these days. Lovely room!

Oh I LOVE this!!!
It's perfect...and the Petite Collage piece on the wall is one of my favorites!

Wonderful room. Great color.

I'm also jealous that you got it done before the baby arrived, lol. I'm STILL working on stuff and my son is two months old.

What is that beautiful paint color?

So warm and sweet. I love this combo and the ways you added the yellow. I'm in love!

i love your nursery! do you mind sharing where you got your baby bedding?

I love the paint color - what is it?

love the yellow and aqua! its so pretty and its really a room she can grow into! i'm sure your little one will love it!

That elephant basket is AMAZING.

Thanks everyone!! The color is from Benjamin Moore and the shade is #618, Robin's Nest. The bedding is from Nursery Works: it's called "Macaroni" in the color canary. I think they are phasing it out... you can get it for 75% off at www.fawn&forest.com, as of now when I just checked.

Fresh and comfy!

Love this room. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful! Really cheerful and inviting--great colors, love the chair and bedding, and everything really, but especially the dachshund! So refreshing to have a girl's room that doesn't bash you over the head with girliness, too. Love it.

Yes, I do love the Elephant basket. Where did you get it?

okay, NOW you've made me want to redo my boys' nursery. it's absolutely beautiful! i love the color, i wanted their room to be more that color. so pretty!

This room is unbelievably gorgeous. I'm past needing a nursery, but when it comes time to repaint my girls' room, I am using this color combination.

Just gorgeous. The chair, is it a glider? Where is it from?

Fabulous! I just love it all. It is so cheerful and sunny. Doesn't look too baby-ish either. The color combos are really eye catching.

FYI: the website that megancreates noted is www.fawnandforest.com

Love this room. I am debating between that Ikea piece a dresser or just getting the PBK Cameron unit that is a wee bit clunky, but will hold more stuff (we don't have a closet in the baby room). But I like the way the Ikea shelving works with the crib!

In any case, it's beautifully done. Congrats on the new baby.

oh, and where is the dresser from? Also Ikea?

As an Interior Designer specializing in nurseries, I applaud you. The room is fabulous. Just the right amount of details and the color is terrific too. What color and brand is it? Your daughter will love her room!!

I was just looking around and found the elephant basket here...

Very pretty nursery. Very bright and cheery.

What a beautiful room! I love the colors, thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Your daughter will love being in this space. And a little side note: I was tickled to see that you had one of my Ollie the Dotted Owls. It is so nice to see Ollie in such a lovely room. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone!!!
Yes, the bedding is on sale at www.fawnandforest.com (it's by Nursery Works). The dresser is an Ikea dresser and I covered some of the drawer fronts with seagrass wallpaper to make it a little different and warm it up a little. The cube unit is also Ikea. The elephant basket was from www.homedecorators.com (you can look up elephant hamper and find it)...it's made of rattan. The wall color:
The color is from Benjamin Moore and the shade is #618, Robin's Nest. The chair in there is a swivel rocker that I found at Salvation Army for $9. We had custom slip-covers made to match the room since the chair was a puke green and had a small stain on the side. The Ollie Owl stuffed toy was hand made by a seller for www.modernnursery.com...I love it, KLT! Thanks! It will be her first stuffed animal.

What a beautiful room you created for Little P! Can you tell me about your lovely crib?

Hi BabyDotsMom's,
I got the crib online at www.modernnursery.com as a gift from my in-laws, it's by Oeuf and it's the "classic" crib with the birch finish. It's sustainable birch with non-toxic finishes. The rail doesn't adjust, but the base/mattress platform does for when the baby grows bigger. It also converts to a toddler bed with a kit sold separately.

Looked again and noticed the Charley Harper goodies from Old Navy -- and some Orla Kiely stuff from Target! I just love this room.

My favorite is the yellow wiener dog! Beautiful room, can I live there?

Gorgeous. this room is simply lovely. blessings for the baby!

This is the color I have been looking for! Thank you. I have been searching for the perfect color for the nursery and I think you have found it for me!
I love the room!!!!

I could gaze at this room all day, it's just so fresh and lovely. Best wishes for the birth of your daughter.

This is one of the prettiest nurseries I've seen on ohdeedoh. Great work! You are my inspiration!!

It is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. I love what you did with the Malm dressers. Is the seagrass wrapped onto the drawers, or just cut to fit the face of the drawers and affixed on there?

War_eagle: Thanks!!! I traced the drawer fronts onto the seagrass wallpaper and trimmed them out. I glued them on the faces of the drawers using Mod Podge glue. To prevent bubbles underneath I smoothed the paper with my hands/pressed it from the center and worked my way out a zillion times to make sure it was nice and flat/flush with no bubbles. If there was any overhanging paper, I flipped the drawer face over onto a big piece of cardboard and used a very sharp Xacto knife to just trim off the excess from the edges. My lovely husband then assembled the dresser. :)

What a cheerful room for a baby girl! I absolutely love it, and the space seems so fresh and cozy...not overly girly like typical nurseries we see in magazines!!! Did you buy the lampshades or did you embellish them yourself? Everything is pulled together so nicely - great job!

OwenRocks: Thank you so much! You're very kind. The lampshades were bought at Anthropologie. I need to learn to sew. Both were embroidered and I would have loved to have had the know-how to make them myself.

This is absolute perfection. Well done!!

oh my goodness! so perfect and beautiful! and i love how it could really be for a boy or girl!
amazing! :)

Love the elephant hamper! What size did you get? It has good scale next to your adorable crib! Thanks!

Hi rfalcon,
I got the medium-sized hamper. :)

Hi Megan,
I've read all the comments, but can't find anything about the artwork above the crib. The one on the left looks like something I have by Tara Hogan . . . Thanks for sharing your beautiful inspiration.

Hi Ashlie,

The artwork to the left is my own illustration. I do custom artwork and letterpressed cards at my shop: http://megancreates.etsy.com

The artwork to the right is from a book cover. The book is called "Play Pen: New Children's Book Illustration" by Martin Salisbury.

Love this room! I think the fabric circles are great, and I love the abundant use of yellow. The Hooray! banner is so perfect. We always say "hooray!" to Marli, especially now that she's standing. I'll pass this webpage on to her mom, as she is in the process of deciding some of the finishing wall design which includes dots and round mirrors.

I like that you added the seagrass wallpaper to the dresser. That is very clever. Down the road when your daughter is "decorating" everything with her crayons (like mine)you can just rip it off and re-paper!

Saw this on flickr a while ago and loved it. Still do. One of my nursery favorite color schemes ever. Well done!

beautiful. love the YELLOW!

LOVE these colors! Too adorable!

Absolutely lovely nursery! It caught my eye as the wall color is very similar to the one we used for our baby's room for our little one due in May. It has definitely inspired me! Great job!
Can you tell me where you purchased your great bookcase? I've been searching and searching for a decent bookcase and have yet to find the perfect one. I love the clean lines of it. Thanks so much!

kmancine:
The bookcase is from Ikea. :)

Love love love this room. I'm doing something similar with a chair... purchased on the cheap and having a slipcover made. Care to share your source for having it done? Looks like good workmanship.

The elephant basket was from www.homedecorators.com (you can look up elephant hamper and find it)...it's made of rattan.
:)
The slipcover was ordered through Calico Corners (but they outsource to a guy in my area...he does reupholstery and slipcovers as his business). I bet you'd save money if you went directly to someone and cut out the middle man. :)

Megan - where did you purchase the white bookcase? we've been looking for something exactly like the one in your picture.

Mommyinspire: We got that bookcase at Ikea.

This is the most beautiful nursery I have ever seen. You have inspired me for my first baby's nursery. You have exquisite taste. Thank you for sharing!

love the color! who on etsy made the horray banner?

The bedding in the crib is gorgeous!

I LOVE this room! I'd say you accomplished your goal of creating a "cheerful, happy, inviting, warm, and modern" nursery perfectly!! Nice job on creating such a BEAUTIFUL space! I am inspired.

I love this room! Its very soothing but how about a rug to warm up the space a bit?
