Parker’s Nursery Decorating Ideas

When we arrived in New Orleans last week, the moving truck was just leaving, having delivered the new chest and hutch for the baby’s room. They had ordered it from a local company and had been waiting a few weeks and thought it would even be longer to wait, to get the nursery completely finished.  So, that was a happy early delivery that couldn’t have been timed better. Since my sister and I are all into decorating, we couldn’t wait to get started in there and hang pictures and style the hutch and chest.  We all discussed hanging the pics and decided what needed to go where. So, I hope you enjoy these nursery decorating ideas.

It was really fun to see this nursery come together, especially since we painted the stripes on the wall last fall.  Adding the pink toile and the beautiful bedding was the icing on the cake.  Parker was ONE month old yesterday!

nursery looking from door

Lauren made those nursery drapes herself with fabric from Online Fabricstore.  They have a nice selection and the toile was the perfect accent in here.  This room has a nice traditional feel, but still good for a little girl too.

She’s also got a cute pink and cream rug for the middle of the floor that’s coming soon.

The chair/rocker and ottoman was passed on to her from her sister-in-law, as was the baby bed.  Nice to have that perk in the family.

nursery art

Artwork Lauren and Philip picked up which has a fun whimsical feel.

chair

They will eventually get a little side table for the chair and add a lamp that she already has.

nursery bed

Isn’t it cute?

nursery monogram

The monogram was ordered online too from Scrappin Plus and Philip stained the wood the same as the bed.

nursery bedding

I didn’t get a really good shot of the inside of the bedding, but it’s so cute and she found this at Bye Bye Baby store.  And how serendipitous that it has the exact SAME toile as the drapery fabric?!  It has a mix of about 4 fabrics all in pink and cream/tan colors and was perfect for the bed.

The diaper stacker with the same toile.

chandelier

The pretty crystal chandelier came from Pottery Barn and her parents and I got that for her.  It adds just that touch of bling to the room.

nursery chest

New chest that just came in and we added artwork over it.

Etsy artwork 1

Lauren found this cute children’s artwork at an Etsy shop called Loxly Hollow and fell in love with them. They had them framed.

Parker’s middle name is Fox (a family name) and so she is going to have lots of foxes in her room.  Love this artwork!

nursery furniture

The chest and hutch completes the room.

hutch

We filled up the hutch with books and cute stuffed animals.

hutch with tea set

Lauren added the tea set after we left and I love it in here.  Her friend, Catherine made the tea set.

So cute and adds a lot of color to the hutch.

clock

Our dear friends here in Marietta, Paul and Judy Clark, gave Lauren this adorable handmade clock (that Paul made) just especially for little Parker. Notice the fox behind the fence.  Lauren just loves it!

nursery cinderella lamp

I love this carriage light too and it’s so cute all lit up.   See that little sign hanging up?  It says, This baby girl is perfect and it was hanging in Lauren’s room when she was a baby.  Not sure where it came from originally, but it was a part of Lauren’s childhood.

nursery white fox

This cute white fox is one I found and gave her and it came from Pier One.

watch me grow stickers

Two very sweet shop owners, Fern and her twin sister, Fran, from Watch me Grow Stickers, have been reading my blog for a long time and emailed me about giving Lauren a few things from their shop and she sent these cute stickers that can be used in photo shoots for growing babies.

closet dividers

These closet organizers came from them too and what a treat for Lauren to have these in Parker’s closet. This little girl already has a closet full of clothes so she will be one styling baby.

We really love how great the nursery turned out and how cute it is, so hope you enjoyed the tour and maybe got a few ideas for a nursery too.  We don’t get to decorate nurseries too often, but this one sure was fun!

    Did they by chance mention the furniture line of the dresser and chest?

    Rho,

    Little Parker’s room is beautiful. I love toile, it makes me so happy.

    Thank you for showing the clock. Paul so enjoyed making it for little Parker. We have always loved Lauren. Can still see you sitting on your Daddy’s lap. We love your entire family.

    I love all of Lauren’s decorative touches….especially the touch of bling! The Monogram is so special and is so “Lauren”. ( I love monograms too) They certainly have an eye for artwork …. Fun and whimsical . Many happy memories to come in that room! Thanks for sharing!

    What an absolutely darling and sweet nursery!! I love the Toile drapes with the stripes on the walls! And this decor will easily grow with that beautiful little baby girl–so smart I think to do instead of making the nursery too babyish! You, your sister and niece did a fabulous job in creating this darling nursery…

    Love the nursery! So pretty! I love Loxly Hollow too! I have the print of a little red-headed girl sitting in a big pink chair reading a book to her teddy bear and bunny. Got it for a reading nook for my daughter’s room. And I think the foxes are adorable – love the punch of color!

    Very sweet, indeed. I, too, have tone on tone neutral stripes in our nursery. It has served us well through both a girl and boy, with only minor changes. We used coral accents for our daughter and red and gray accents for our son. I also adore the fabric choices. My eldest son’s nursery also incorporated the ‘Central Park Toile’ fabric, but in sage. Thank you so much for sharing a lovely nursery. So much love was put into the room.

    So lovely Rhoda!! Congrats to your family on such a wonderful addition! And glad the fabric worked so well for Parker’s room. My only critique is that Sophie the giraffe doesn’t belong on a shelf 🙂 (My boys gobbled her up!)

    I’ve always loved brown and pale pink together – and that toile? Creme de la creme! Love how the foxes ground it, and identify with the family, too. Very nice!

    Love everything about it, such special touches. But where does the baby’s nappy (diaper?) get changed?
    Is there a bathroom en-suite with a changing table?
