A Striking Light Blue & Red Nursery

When Brieanne sent over her remarkable nursery before and after pics we could not wait to share the major transformation. Here is her letter:

Last year my sister asked me (her younger sister with the architecture degree) to assist her with her nursery for my future (and now fully adorable) niece Claire. Because my sister and brother-in-law could possibly have more than one child in their current space, they hoped a decently gender neutral nursery. Beginning with some bedding by Skip Hop my sister enjoyed, we began a “mood board.” The criteria: gender neutral, plain, non-cluttered and Low-cost. Jen (my sister) hoped something fresh and relaxing for herself, knowing the nursery would be mostly for her enjoyment. Armed with these thoughts, I chose to do a modern ode to “The Little Prince,” even though the baby was/is a girl–it was one of my sister’s go-to stories growing up. Hope you like the nursery as much as I enjoy your journal! – Brieanne

Here is the room serving as a half-hearted guest bedroom before the big makeover:

And here it is now after it has been transformed into a lovely nursery for baby Claire:

Oh and here is a resource list from Brieanne:

• Crib and changer: Cub Kids by NettoCollection
• Toy box: my sister’s from when she was a kid
• Rocking chair: my grandmother’s
• Bedding: Mod Dot by Skip Hop, given to my sister by her inlaws
• Side table: LACK table by Ikea.
• Shelf: LACK shelf by Ikea
• Lamp: Confiscated from another room (lampshade from Ikea)
• Mobile: needle felted birds made from red wool, hung on sticks found at our family cabin in Lake Tahoe, all assembled by me “on site.”
• Mural: painted by me, blown up with a projector, image from “The Little Prince”
• Decal: Bloom, by Elephannie @ etsy.com
• Quote: stick on letters. The quote says:“It is simply as it is with the flower. If you enjoy a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. All the stars are a-bloom with flowers.”

Did not Brieanne and her sister do a strong job making that room cozy and adorable for the lucky little lady? Let us play a little game we like to call what is-your-go-to-part? We enjoy everything from the mobile to the charming quote on the wall so it is truly a tough call.

Update: Brieanne in fact does have a journal and simply shared the addy with us. Feel free to pop by and ogle the eye candy.
