Loading ...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: Amelia’s Fabulous Fabrics
Amelia used the colors of her favorite cosmetic bag to inspire this nursery. She paired the bright coral color with shades to gray to create a sophisticated yet fun space.
The exciting and inspirational aspect of this nursery is the combination of fabrics that Amelia used. She paired the Elephant and Umbrella fabric and Geo Tile from Spoonflower.com with Duralee’s Smoke Scroll fabric for the canopy and the crib skirt. The rug is a great coral shade and the crib bedding and seat cushion are more custom fabrics by Holli Zollinger from Spoonflower.
It’s not too often that you find a little seating area like this near the crib, but I can see this set up being very useful during “sleep training”. The antique chair was made modern with the bright coral paint job and fantastic fabric.
Real Room Tour: Susan’s (Zuzia’s) Sunny Space
It’s been a while since I featured a nursery tour, so I was very excited when Kate sent me the photos of her daughter’s nursery.
This nursery makes me really miss DwellStudio’s Gio Lemon Crib Set. While it’s still available in Aqua, this mustard yellow and purple color combo looks so fresh and feminine.
It’s a little hard to see, but there’s a sweet giraffe wall decal to the left of the crib. It’s such a cute complement to the bedding.
The side table is perfectly accessorized with fun purple and yellow items.
Real Room Tour: Perfectly Not Pink Girl’s Nursery
I’ve got to admit, I’m a little jealous of those of you who get to get to decorate for a little girl. I always imagined having a little tomboy with denim overalls. pigtails and a red hooded sweatshirt. While I don’t hold it against anyone who goes with a pink nursery, this room is a little more like the look I’d be going for.
Kerry, of the blog First Time Fancy, put this peaceful space together for a little girl who is expected any day now! Formerly an uninspiring master bedroom, it is now exactly the opposite.
The fabric in the curtains inspired the entire nursery design. I’m enjoying the aqua and mustard yellow color combination. It’s got a sort of peaceful, old fashioned, homey feeling. Adding to that feeling is the white wicker chair that was in Kerry’s own nursery when she was a baby. You can’t argue with that kind of history.
The dresser was given a new life with a coat of paint and is a bright accent in the room as well as great storage.
The gallery wall is just waiting to be filled with the new baby’s initial.
The perfectly coordinated mobile was a great DIY project. Kerry posted a wonderful tutorial if you want to give it a shot.
I love a nursery full of books. Whenever I feel like something is missing in a child’s room, inevitably there are no books around. There’s no such problem here thanks to Kerry’s handy father. So sweet.
Finally, how precious is the little shoe display?! Yet another reason to be jealous of those of you with little baby girls!
You can get more information and additional photos in Kerry’s Nursery Reveal post on First Time Fancy. She’s also got lots of posts that chronicle the progress of the entire space. It’s worth a look as it’s fun to see all the love and thought that went into creating the perfect place to welcome the newest addition to their family.
Thanks so much Kerry for sharing the wonderful pictures of your nursery with us! It’s absolutely precious.

My Modern Guest from Chic & Cheap Nursery
I’ve been a great fan of Chic & Cheap Nursery for a long time. I love the budget perspective that Nicole uses in her blog, and it’s no wonder she has such a large fan base for her money saving ideas and lower cost design inspirations. I’m often envious of the “Featured Real Room” tours she scores, and her inspiration boards show that you don’t have to spend a lot to get a chic look. For her post today however, Nicole scrapped her usual price conscious perspective and went all out for this stylish inspiration board.
Hi everyone!
I’m Nicole from Chic & Cheap Nursery and I’m so excited to fill in for Esther today while she’s enjoying a lovely family vacation.
As you can tell from the name of my blog, I like to keep things affordable. But for this Pink & Navy Preppy Girl Nursery, I decided to do something that I’ve never EVER done before.
I chose everything for this nursery without even looking at the price. Eeek!
Some of the items are surprisingly budget-friendly. Others, not so much.
I decided on a pink, navy and white color scheme because it’s sophisticated and playful. Perfect for a little preppy girl! This room is filled with pieces that can grow with your child and/or can be moved to any other room in your home.
If I replaced the crib with a Queen size bed, I would be more than happy to call this room my own! Wouldn’t you?
Product links/info for this design board are available at ChicCheapNursery.com.
Hope to see you there!

Real Room Tour: Naya’s Papaya Cabin
This room is a stunner. Ikea plus that incredible wood wall and a bright and beautiful color palette makes for an incredible space for Naya to grow up in.
This room starts off with some Ikea basics like the Leksvik crib and dresser with changing top, and a Poang Rocking Chair.
With some fun colors and a mix of fabrics, it gains a personality all its own.
The bedding and matching bird throw pillow are from The Land of Nod as part of their Sleepin’ Safari collection.
The room is full of meaningful touches including this Brazil map and little chalk message dot near the crib.
I love the reading area next to the large window and the 3 Sprouts owl bin with the handmade owl inside it.
The lamp, wall shelf, rocking moose and even the curtains are Ikea finds, and you can get the monster prints in formaholic’s etsy shop. Aren’t they adorable?!
Papaya not only rhymes with her name, but describes the bright wall color in the changing area of the room.
Naya has a beautiful nursery to go with her beautiful name. I love that I can picture a little baby girl playing and spending her time in this space.
Thanks to her mother Priscilla for sharing this incredible tour with us! As you might guess from the phenomenal photos of this nursery, Priscilla is a photographer. You can find her work on priscillagragg.com and follow her blog at priscillagragg.com/blog!
