Angel Baby Nursery Theme for a Miracle Baby

by Katharina

Our daughter is truly a miracle baby after having lost a baby to miscarriage five years ago. A combination butterfly and angel baby nursery theme is a good description of the design that I decided on. It's a good fit because it holds two things that are dear to me as evidenced by all the decorative items that I've collected over the years that I plan to put on display.

These items were angels or cherubs and butterflies. I knew that whatever theme I chose, it would have to be one that was befitting of a very special "miracle baby". This combination of two very different styles of decor may seem to others an unlikely match, but once the process of decorating was underway we found that an angel and butterfly nursery decor worked very well together.

Taking the first step in blending the butterfly angel baby nursery design involved choosing a color scheme that would be appropriate and workable as a background for the decorations that I planned to use. I ended up choosing a palette of pastels to use for the colors, most of which were shades during the Victorian era. Soon a rose, lavender and lilac baby girl’s nursery was beginning to take shape. My sweet, miracle baby was born 5 weeks prematurely so I knew very early on that I would be decorating the baby’s room using "girly" colors and with the nursery theme that I had in mind, that was a nice perk.

Along with the butterflies and angels that I had collected, I looked for decorative pieces that fit into a vintage or Victorian angel nursery theme as well. Items made of velvet fabrics with handmade lace were at the top of my shopping list. If you are thinking of using this theme for your own baby girl, take my advice and don't forget a
vintage Guardian Angel picture and a small rocking chair with the porcelain Victorian doll to place in the corner.

The end result of our efforts is a tranquil angel baby nursery where our precious baby is surrounded by gossamer wings from both Heaven and earth.
