I got an email from fabric.com about their sale on retro and mod fabric. I had to check it out. I was drawn to the dolce collection. Particularly these 3...
And this Good Earth Maps fabric
My kids, now 5 and 3, didn't have their own nursery because we just didn't have the space then.
If I were to decorate a girl's nursery now, I'd probably do something like this...
I would paint the walls a nice gray color. Then I would mix and match those fabrics(which is $5.99/yard or less by the way) for the bedding, chair cushions and the window treatment. I'd search craigslist for a similar dresser and rocking chair. I'd buy the classic Jenny Lind crib in white. I'd splurge on 2 Jonathan Adler sconces and blue zebra rug(ok, maybe not. But they're fun!). A couple of DIY projects are in order. One is a cute paper mobile. There is a nice tutorial here. Then I'd make roman shades out of mini blinds (Little Green Notebook's tutorial here).
I'd have to add some personal touches like an original art and a growth chart like this that A Perfect Gray shared with us.
Lastly I'd install 3 white floating shelves for toys and books.
I would do the same for a boy's nursery but use these 2 instead of the orange ones...
So it would look like this...
There you have it! Pretty mod and retro, don't you think?!
Happy Easter!
