My Modern Nursery #111: Mid-Century Tangerine Nursery Inspiration Sponsored by Lullaby Paints

When my friends at Lullaby Paints suggested Tangerine for this months wall color, I was hesitant. It’s been about three years since last we did an orange nursery and I still like that one, so I agreed to take on the challenge. Tangerine is a brighter orange than Blaze so I would suggest using it on only one or two walls instead of for the entire room.

This Tangerine space seemed the perfect place to use the Skylar collection from Newport Cottages and from that decision, a mid-century modern style was the obvious direction. With the retro look of the furniture, it would have been very easy to go overboard with the styling of this space, but I tried to stay away from any choices that were too obvious. If you want to take the mid-century style further, I did pin those options on our Tangerine Nursery Inspiration Pinterest Board.

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.
