European Toile and Lavender Nursery

Welcome to my little girl's lavender abode.  The completion of this nursery took me months, but after viewing numerous designer rooms, I think I came up with a space that incorporates all the things I love.

My inspiration for the room was the wall color:  soft lavender.  After painting the walls, I came to the conclusion, the room needed a focal point.  So I decided to hand paint stripes in a gloss finish on the main wall (the wall you see upon entering the room).  I think this added a subtle charm to this small space.

My next order of business, was finding the perfect bedding.  I found this task to be very difficult.  I searched numerous department stores and always found myself empty handed, so I finally decided to search the web.   To my surprise, I found the perfect crib set on Ebay.  Beautiful lavender toile, with touches of gingham and polka dots.  I couldn't be more happier with my selection!

Throughout the nursery, I used touches of cream and ivory.  I also embellished the room with bunnies and birds to give it a cozy cottage feel.

I wanted to achieve a sophisticated, serene atmosphere, yet one that was young and cheerful.

Please, Take A Tour . . .

For a special touch, I added a custom monogram.

I found this sweet little memo board at Tuesday Morning, it's the perfect match to the roman shades.

I couldn't resist these precious bunny bookends (an excellent Ebay find)!

The bows for the chandelier & table lamps were created from window valances

 (included in bedding set).

The iron work above the crib was originally brass, so I spray painted it satin nickel to match the window hardware.
