BEST OF: NURSERIES. Oh, Baby!

via decor pad

This is dedicated to Bridgett, Candace, and Kristie, my favorite new moms (and preggo friends).

These are the best of the best in nursery designs. Most (but not all!) were designed by professional interior designers. I hope it inspires you to imagine beyond wall paper borders and limited color schemes. 

Most importantly, use washable low VOC paint! :)

LOVE the high contrast. If that dark wall was chalkboard paint,

this kiddo will have the coolest room on the block.

WEEGO Baby in Santa Monica

  

A chic modern children’s shop in the noted Frank Gehry designed Edgemar complex in Santa Monica, California.Yes, the store is this gorgeous. So is their philosophy: "Your child's
space should be a retreat comprised of color, pattern, and amusement" .

I love the faux bois wallpaper contains the pink, adds depth and this little one is already quite the hipster.

My personal favorite is the nursery Kenneth Brown designed for his own daughter. The girly touches of pink pop against a charcoal wall. As she grows the pink can easily be swapped out for other colors.
