HOME DWELLER: whimsical nursery

Start your child on their path to chicness with a fabulous nursery. Create a nursery that isn't obvious or typical. There should be an eclectic mix of styles to add personality: modern/vintage, feminine/masculine...Be imaginative, keep the foundation (walls, flooring, furniture) simple, and have fun with artwork and fabrics.


This nursery was featured in the modern British home magazine Living, Etc. in July 2006. I love the cloud white paint color and old fireplace. The polka dots are fresh and young, but the colors have slightly vintage tints to keep with the retro feel. The pink dots and green satin are girly without all the fluff expected in a girl's room (a.k.a. pink, pink, and more pink).

Suggestion: light wall color, keep polka dots in one area and don't add too much else on other walls or it will become overbearing.
