I am so excited to finally share the images of the completed nursery for our baby girl. I feel like I have been working on this room forever (having started before xmas) but it was well worth the effort and I am over the moon with how it has turned out. I also thought it would be nice to share the name we have chosen for our little girl, miss 'Thea' who I cannot wait to meet. I have tried to include all the details of her room - but please feel free to ask any questions.
I painted the entire room with Dulux colours of New Zealand - the feature wall is Lake Wakatipu, the walls are Manorburn Quarter and the ceiling is Aniwaniwa Quarter. I am so happy with the colour of the feature wall, it turned out exactly as I imagined and I will be posting a DIY tutorial later in the week for those of you wanting to create something similar. The retro armchair is from Freedom Furniture and the peach cushion on the chair was purchased from Society6. Lamp stand and shade from Lighting Plus.
I have always loved the use of bunting in a nursery so I decided to make my own using fabric purchased from Spotlight - I will be posting a DIY tutorial on how to make your own bunting so keep an eye out. I found the cute print at White Fox & Co, the cot was purchased from Farmers and the star cot blanket from Citta Design. The cross blanket is from Jamie Kay and comes in two sizes, it is also reversible!
The shelves are from Bunnings Warehouse and I couldn't find any brackets I really liked so my Dad made these for me and I painted them white. The chevron cushion is from Witchery and the diamond cushion is by Lorna Love. The little white Country Road bunny was a gift from a friend and I found the clock at The Warehouse. The dino planter was originally fluro green so I gave him a re-paint using Dulux Havelock North to compliment the other peach accents in the room.
The basket is from The Warehouse and my blanket obsession continues with this gorgeous stripe blanket from Kate & Kate and beige knit throw from Witchery. The chevron and teal cushion was purchased from Society6.
The beautiful pink swan is from Douglas & Bec, the little shoes and soft toys are gifts and the floor rug is from Spotlight.
We painted the wardrobe doors with chalkboard paint from Bunnings Warehouse, and I drew the alphabet freehand. The felt garland is from Jamie Kay and the fox print from Society6. The wooden letters that spell her name are from Spotlight and I painted them using Dulux Havelock North and glitter - DIY tutorial to follow this week. The side table was purchased from trade me and I re-painted it using Dulux Havelock North. The soft toy is from Lily & George and the storage boxes are from The Warehouse. I also have a changing table that I am trying to fit into the room - proving to be rather difficult and her bassinet is set up and will be in our bedroom. I hope you find this post inspiring! Please ensure if sharing or re-posting my images you credit and link back to my blog. Emma x
Hi Emma. I love your nursery but a word of warning from a Cantabrian. Be careful about things above the cot that could fall on your baby in an earthquake. Not sure what part of the country you are in but you never know when these things can hit. Sorry to post such a warning.
Thanks for the warning - not to worry though as all the items on the shelves are fixed down (ie: screwed in placed) with the exception of the soft toys, they will however most likely get changed around though when she moves from the bassinet in our room into the cot in the nursery. This is something we have already considered but it is nice to display some special items on these shelves until she makes the move.
Love everything about this room! we are looking at the exact same chair for our new baby's nursery, can I get your opinion on what it is like as a nursing chair, ie is the backrest generous enough for comfortable breastfeeding, does it support your head?
What a beautifully put-together room!!! Is the gray and white wall painted by you or wallpaper?? I NEED to know since I am looking into this for our baby boy nursery. Very well done, every little detail!

ReplyDeleteHi, I love it and find it works perfectly for nursing. I would recommend heading in store though and sitting in a few :)
