Shabby Chic Garden Nursery

I started the design of my daughter's Shabby Chic Garden nursery with no real idea where I wanted to go. I picked out her baby bedding set first which was Migi Posy.

I liked the colors and flowers of the pink and green baby bedding so I decided to go with more of a color theme than a particular baby nursery theme. I really liked the pink and green colors together and I thought that white pulled it all together nicely.

The wall paint color that I chose was called Prairie Sage and I painted the trim white. The bottom portion of the nursery walls was already wallpapered with two tone beige stripes and I decided to keep it because it matched the glider rocker.

We put in new floors which caused us to need to take down the closet doors. In the process, we decided to leave the doors off and install curtains in their place. The curtain on the window is Target's Simply Shabby Chic Faux Silk Balloon Shade in pink. The curtains that we used in the closet are also from Target. They are from the Simply Shabby Chic Fairy Tale as is the pillow on the chair which worked very nicely with our baby girl's shabby chic garden nursery.

The bookshelf and the area rug are also from Target. Her baby bed and chair came from a local baby shop called Brousse's A Child's World.

The butterflies hanging in the corner and the big flowers on the wall are also from Brousse's. I used scrapbooking paper to make the stems and leaves for the flowers. I used the same scrapbooking papers to decorate the letters of Marisa's name above her closet.

The mirror above the bookshelf came from Hobby Lobby and other accessories come from various stores. I have managed for the majority of her toys to be stored in the closet for the sake of containing the clutter.

Green storage baskets organize her smaller toys in the bookshelf and on the bottom shelves of the changing table which is stored inside the closet.

Wire racks from Target hold Marisa's bigger toys as does the toy box from Toys R Us. In my opinion, the pictures don't do my baby's shabby chic garden nursery justice. I suspect that I adore this room not only because of its beauty but also because of how it makes me feel while playing with my daughter and lying her down to sleep.
