Real Room Tour: Reed’s Nursery from Honey & Fitz
Dina, from the incredible blog Honey & Fitz, has been teasing Reed’s nursery ever since she announced her pregnancy. At least that’s how it seems to me because that’s how long I’ve been anticipating something incredible from this stylish and talented designer. With a new baby and a new home in a new city, I just knew she was going to go all out. Today she finally posted photos of the completed nursery and you’re going to have to take a look!
The jumping off point was the starry sky ceiling and the restful celestial theme grew from there.
You can’t go wrong with beautiful furniture pieces like Babyletto’s Hudson crib and a Nurseryworks Empire Rocker, but Dina brings it all together with her creativity and eye for detail.
The fabrics, color and textures are all layered perfectly. I’d love to just sit in this room!
Even if I didn’t know the next photo was of Reed’s nursery, I’d recognize that dresser immediately. This piece was repurposed from their last house and is even better here than it was in their master bedroom!
For many more photos and product and project details, go see the original post for Reed’s Nursery, and follow Honey & Fitz for more inspirational ideas from Dina. Thanks for sharing Reed’s nursery Dina– and he is so cute!!
Real Room Tour: Nursery Nook
Amber, sent me these photos of the nursery she created and designed for her little boy, Lucas. Her nesting instincts kicked in big time with a home renovation that resulted in this cozy, chic space full of texture and special details.
A vintage dresser is topped with a DIY changing tray and cute accessories. The art includes recycled calendar posters and enlarged book illustrations.
Amber used ebay to find lots of unique details including the lamp base.
The blocks were a DIY project with glue + blank blocks + some old prints. (I may have to do this myself- totally inspired!)
Amber re-covered an old wing back chair with some fabric she discovered and fell in love with. The space wouldn’t have the same impact without this bold and colorful choice.
I’m super impressed with the Handmade Chandelier which Amber created using an old lamp shade and some white felt. The rest of the details here were also custom made or re-purposed.
As you can see, this space started as completely bare bones, and with a little creativity and vision, became exactly the nursery Amber had hoped for.
See Amber’s nursery post for more photos and information about where she purchased things or how she made them! Also, be sure to visit her etsy shop Obsessivision. Her fine art macro photography has rich and textural quality, much like the one she created in Lucas’s nursery. Thanks for sharing your nursery and your etsy shop with us, Amber! I’m sure you’ll inspire a few moms-to-be with their own creative decorating projects!
Real Room Tour: Perfectly Pink from Sissy + Marley
This being April Fool’s Day, I’m going to skip any posts about new products or collaborations for fear you won’t believe me! But, there’s nothing fake about Victoria’s incredible modern pink nursery by Sissy + Marley. Another perfect 10, Sissy + Marley show us how it’s done yet again.
Starting with a base of amazing nursery furniture from ducduc and Monte, this nursery does one of the best takes on pink that I’ve ever had the pleasure to see.
From wallpaper to the lighting to the stuffed animals and dolls around the room, it’s just enough without being too much. Little splashes of neon pink make it fresh and current and add a little sizzle to a pink space that otherwise might be too sweet.
The shiny storage bins in the ubiquitous Expedit are ultra cool…
… and the tiny pink ghost chair is to die for (not a phrase I use lightly or throw around!).
A Monte glider is always a perfect pick in any modern nursery and this Grano Glider sits crisp and clean in white leather.
The mirror adds a feminine shape over the straight lines of the dresser.
The bright little details around the room are what really make it perfectly exciting to me. Neon may be a fad right now, but a nursery (which will only be used for a couple years as such) is the perfect place to incorporate a fad you love.
Thanks to Chelsea for sending the photos over. It’s always a great pleasure to see and share your work!

Real Room Tour: Finn’s Nursery by Sissy + Marley
The talented ladies at Sissy + Marley have put together another dreamy modern nursery. Completed in their signature style, baby Finn’s nursery is crisp, clean and full of versatile pieces that will grow with him.
This gender-neutral space is sophisticated enough to blend with the adult areas of the home, but the animals (and giraffes in particular) add enough fun for Finn to enjoy.
The Little Darlings Prints from The Animal Print Shop are as cute as can be. Every time I visit the site I start looking around the house for empty wall space. I could look at those sweet animal faces for years and years, I’m sure of it.
Unfortunately, this faux taxidermy elephant head from Anthropologie is no longer available, but this trend is so widespread that if you were looking to achieve a similar look, I’m sure you could come up with an alternative that you love.
I’m a big fan of white on white textures and I think it’s done really beautifully in this space without being monochromatic. The wood tones (and of course some of the toys) are the pops of color that keep the space from looking cold.
Finally I’m a little envious of anyone with a chalkboard wall. The possibilities are endless.
Thanks to Sissy + Marley for sharing these incredible photos! There’s a lot of inspiration here. Check back tomorrow for more information on how to re-create this look in your own home.
Real Room Tour: Tori Spelling’s Nursery for Little Finn
I love when celebrity nurseries are full of products and ideas that we can all purchase or emulate. In this, Tori Spelling’s fourth (and my favorite) nursery, she and her longtime friends Bill Horn and Scout Masterson (aka: The Guncles) put together a space for Finn that looks “collected” rather than “decorated.” This isn’t a space full of custom furniture and built ins. You can really achieve this stylish look in your own home without hiring a decorator and a carpenter.
Tori was inspired by a vintage giraffe figurine that she spotted at a flea market early in her pregnancy. She decided to execute the giraffe theme in a modern regency style with vintage touches. Because of some unexpected complications during the pregnancy, Tori oversaw the details of her little one’s nursery from a hospital bed.
The Regency Crib and Savannah changer from ducduc nyc define the modern regency style and are the foundations of this glamorous nursery.

The bold turquoise and gold walls are a dramatic backdrop. Amazingly, this look was achieved with Tempaper‘s Marrakesh Honey Jade temporary wallpaper. The Guncles discovered the pattern and Tori’s husband Dean hung in her hospital room for her 2 1/2 months stay. It was such a part of her and Finn’s journey together that she had to use it in his nursery at home as well.
The beautiful orange Beckett dresser from SPI Baby adds a great pop of color in the room and is a perfect home for a collection of vintage (and modern) giraffes.

On the changer you can see a custom orange ChangePad from Nook and Finn also enjoys a Pebble mattress. Of course the Ubbi diaper pail is orange to match as well.

The comfy vintage looking rocker from Anthropologie happens to be named “Finn” so Tori took this as a sign that it was the perfect chair for her little boy.

Tori and the Guncles trolled Etsy and eBay for all the vintage giraffe artwork and figurines that appear throughout the room. I’m kinda jealous of the awesome giraffe collection they gathered together!

In addition to some fancy furniture pieces, this nursery, like so many of yours, includes DIYs, crafts and sale finds. Tori made the rug by sewing together some vintage place mats from an estate sale. The yellow bookshelf was a yard sale find that Finn’s older siblings helped paint to match his chair. Tori worked with a friend who taught her how to macramé to make the mobile with paper mâché giraffes.

Congratulations to Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott on Finn’s safe arrival. He’s a lucky little boy to have his special space and loving family to come home to.

Thanks to Marquee Communications for sharing this nursery with us and for the hand they had in putting it together!
Real Room Tour: Lucy’s Lovely Lodging
Lucy is one lucky little lady! Her mother Jenny, from the blog Mint in the Middle, created this beautiful, soothing and neutral space. I adore the natural color palette and personal details that make this modern nursery uniquely special.
The first thing that really caught my attention in this space is the Anthropologie rug. I have toyed with using that rug in a nursery design before and now I wish I had. Jenny has put the rug together with a number of different fabrics and patterns and I approve wholeheartedly of the combination.
The artwork and keepsakes around the room are sweet and meaningful. Hand and footprint projects are not expensive, but they will be treasured.
The changing area atop a thrifted and painted dresser is made extra efficient with a colorful hamper and metal shelf with hanging rod.
The deer lamp and clock are lovely modern details that are stylish and useful.
To see (many) more photos of Lucy’s nursery and information about the items in the room, visit the nursery reveal post on Mint in the Middle. Thanks so much Jenny for sharing this space with us! It’s perfect.

Real Room Tour: Owens Nebraska Nursery
I’m excited to have a brand new nursery tour all the way from Lincoln, Nebraska for you all today! Dana filled this cozy space for now 10 week old Owen with a mix of graphic prints, old and new furniture, vintage accessories, and animal artwork. It’s also full of BuyModernBaby favorites including the Red Fox and Lion from Sass & Peril, some Missoni for Target pieces, and the popular Baby Mod Olivia crib.
I’m always envious when people score great Craigslist purchases like this beautiful dresser that works as useful storage and a changing area.
The Ikea curtains add a lot of color and drama, and what child’s room is complete without an Expedit?
Brian Rubenacker’s dressed up dogs and a vintage copy of The Poky Little Puppy create a bit of a dog theme…
… which their Corgi seems to enjoy. 
The nursery was inspired by this Swedish dala horse figurine and I love how the horse, frame, and black and white Missoni prints work so beautifully together.
Owen is a lucky (and very cute!) little boy.
Thanks Dana for sharing your wonderful photos with us! You did an awesome job on Owen’s nursery!

Real Room Tour: Radiant in Raspberry
It’s always so much fun to share a new nursery tour with you and I’m sure you’ll enjoy this lovely space for a baby girl. Julia, who writes the blog My Life In Transition recently completed this clean but colorful space for her daughter Cecelia.
The focal point of the space is the awesome magenta crib which Julia painted (Behr Fuchsia Kiss in case you’re interested) and the arrangement of lanterns.
The Babyletto Nara glider and Kyoto Ottoman look really chic in here and make a comfortable seating corner. Julia purchased these from our friends at My Urban Child!
The changing table is a repainted dresser that was picked up via Craigslist. This is a charming and functional corner.
The prints over the changing area include a couple from ours friends at Urban Tickle. The custom “You Are Loved” Print is in the center and “Owl Family Tree” is on the left. Julia made the birth announcement print on the right.
All the details in this room come together perfectly and create a feminine, but not typical nursery for Cecelia. Just how I like it!
Great job Julia! I’m sure Cecelia and the rest of your family are going to enjoy this lovely space for years to come.
You can see many more photos of this space and a complete product source list on Julia’s original nursery reveal post on Life in Transition.

Real Room Tour: Quite Perfect for Quinn
I can’t believe that it took me almost three months to discover the photos of this incredible nursery online. I adore everything about it, and little Quinn’s space is going straight onto my top 5 nurseries list! It’s so much fun to find a space where so many of the things you love come together so beautifully.
I don’t know where they found the Nurseryworks Macaroni Crib Skirt, but it’s one of my favorite now discontinued bedding lines. If you google it, you may still be able to find a set somewhere. It looks so fresh here in the Classic Oeuf Crib.
The reading corner features an Empire Rocker from Nurseryworks and the 3 HI Componibili Round Storage Module by Kartell. I believe the lamp is the Squirreled Away Lamp from Anthropologie, but it’s no longer available. You could try Roost’s Porcelain Squirrel Lamp as an alternative.
Ikea’s Expedit has a place in any nursery or child’s room, no matter how plain or fancy. It’s just the perfect place to store lots of toys and books. (Just search expedit on this blog and see just how versatile it is!)
And what modern tot wouldn’t love a Panton Junior Chair of their very own? This Tangerine one is even more chic topped with a Small Feathers Pillow from Coral and Tusk.
The stylish storage under the window looks like the rolling crates from Serena and Lily. I love seeing these in use in a real space!
The papier-mache giraffe head can be found at DwellStudio, the pillow is another Coral and Tusk creation and here’s a Rocking Sheep!
Yup, a Rocking Sheep in a real nursery! It does not get much cooler than this.
The Arrows Pillow from Coral and Tusk sits in this lovely white corner atop a Bertoia Side Chair.
The dresser is topped with an Oeuf changing station, the wood alphabet from bookhou, and a Bear Face Mirror by All Lovely Stuff. You can find the mirror on Oeuf’s website.
I even tracked down the Melamine Zoo Tray by Shinzi Katoh for you. Finally, I spy an Areaware LED clock and faint from the awesomeness of it all.
Of course, Emily McCall’s photos (of Emily McCall Photography) of her little boy’s modern nursery really capture the space to perfection. Thanks so much Emily for sharing the pictures with us. You can see more (and larger) images on Emily’s original nursery reveal post.

Real Room Tour: Henry’s Home with a Hint of Nautical
I’m so pleased to have discovered this fresh nursery on the lovely blog You’re So Martha. Justine, who is expecting Henry’s arrival any time now, has a spectacular space to welcome him home to. Using just a hint of a nautical “overtone,” this room comes together perfectly.
I love the soothing gray with navy aqua and orange as color accents. Even the small name canvas on the wall make such a great impact. It’s so simple and so perfect.
In this wide-angle view of the room, you can see the layout of the entire nursery.
I like seeing a glider near the crib. It makes it so much easier to rock a baby to sleep and then transfer them to the crib if you don’t have to cross the entire room. It’s also a good place to sit when trying to comfort a baby back to sleep when you don’t want to grab them out of the crib.
The reading bench summarizes the scheme of the room perfectly. It’s a great spot where all the colors in the room come together and it’s a great way to add storage to an awkward spot under the window.
continue to see the rest of Henry’s nursery…
