Spring Meadow Nursery for a Baby Girl

February 17th, 2010

A nursery is of course, for your baby, but it is also for the both of you. When planning your baby’s room, it should be designed to create a harmonious environment and a place where you and your baby can form those important bonds that can last a lifetime. Choosing a spring meadow theme for your newborn’s first room will be soothing, comforting and inviting. It will allow you the freedom to introduce a variety of other nature themes that could include birds, butterflies, ladybugs and rabbits – anything to do with Mother Nature that is connected in some way to spring meadow.

Colors (from Behr) should definitely be pastel soft and restful. Shades that echo back a fresh green spring meadow, a bubbling stream or the gentle tones of newly minted flowers are a good place to take your inspiration from when selecting a wall color for your baby girl’s room. Whatever color or colors you choose for the walls should appear in some way in the crib bedding, curtains and area rug that you select.

Since a spring meadow is mostly associated with the countryside, country style baby furniture would be ideal. The design of the Da Vinci Reagan 4-in-1 Convertible Crib in Pearl White is the ever-popular sleigh style. This crib has plenty of country charm, with its simple, gently flowing lines.

The soft pinks and greens of the Cotton Tale Taffy 4-Piece Baby Crib Bedding Set are as fresh and delicate as Spring herself. The crib will certainly be the focal point of the nursery with this crib bedding set giving it a lovely textured and layered appearance with its combination of plaids and dots. The dainty floral patterns add a touch of whimsy to the charming design.

The DaVinci Parker 2-Door Wood Baby Changer in Pearl White has a whimsical country charm that is perfectly suited to the nursery’s overall look and feel. A changing table is a must-have baby nursery item because it will provide a safe place for you to change your child while allowing you to organize everything you need to keep baby dry close to hand.

Accessorize as playfully as you want. What’s a spring meadow without rabbits? Start with the delightful KidKraft Rosebud Rabbit Canvas Art Painting Wall Decoration.

Especially if your nursery has a hardwood floor, warm up the area by the crib or the changing table with an area rug. The Cotton Tale Spring Fling Baby Nursery Accent Rug possesses all of the right colors. The “cottontail” pattern is reminiscent of baby rabbits a.k.a. bunnies.

A Red Themed Baby Girl Nursery

February 3rd, 2010

What could be more perfect to welcome your little bundle of joy than creating a Valentine themed nursery that will share the love all year round? While red is such a vibrant color that brightens up a room, it should be “grounded” by other warmer colors to prevent it from being overpowering. A red or heart motif for a baby nursery will celebrate the love you have for your new born in a new and exciting way.

To bring out the rich tones of the baby furniture, warm toned earthy shades will be the perfect canvas. Pick one wall to be the focus of the nursery and paint it a red accent color.

The Tulip Pod Sleigh Crib in Espresso has an impressive modern style that is positively eye-catching. The beautiful rich dark wood finish only enhances the gently tapered lines. It’s not just beautiful to look at; this versatile crib can be converted to a toddler bed and when finally needed, into a double. Technically this baby bed could take her from crib to college. The shapes and profiles of the Tulip Pod Collection are truly inspiring. The Tulip Pod Swivel Bookcase in Espresso and the Tulip Pod Armoire in Espresso are clean and concise, with sleek metal handles and feet that are the ultimate modern style decorative accents.

Choose solid red crib bedding or patterned crib bedding featuring hearts or red roses. Another option is to select something like the Caden Lane Classic Neutral Carey Baby Crib Bedding Set that introduces other colors into the design, as well as adding texture with a mix of stripes, dots and solid colors. No matter which option you choose, select curtains and an area rug that will match or complement the shade of red in the crib bedding.

The Fun Rugs Fun Time Shape Medium Pile Red Heart Rug is the must-have finishing touch. It adds just the right touch of whimsy to the room’s design and makes the lovely Tulip Pod baby furniture appear richer (if that’s possible).
