We finally have a new room reveal! The first space of 2023 and it was made for the sweetest baby. Without a doubt, nurseries are the most special places to decorate. The excitement of a newborn, the beautiful choices available for babies, and the love that you feel when you walk in the room. Isabella’s nursery was a dream to design and I feel so honoured to be a tiny part of this beautiful family’s beginnings.
Isabella’s Mom has a great design eye and already knew that she wanted to include this forest wallpaper as a feature in the baby nursery so this was the piece that we worked with to create the rest of the dreamy space.
This room had been used as a guest room previously and the smaller space made it a perfectly cozy place to create a baby nursery. The gorgeous windows allow plenty of sunlight and we positioned the nursing chair in this corner for two reasons. The first was to be close to the crib, so feeding to sleeping transitions were made easier, especially at night. The second was the view from the window. When laying out a nursery, it’s essential to think about who will be spending time where and having the chair in this position allows both parents to hold baby while enjoying the forest view.
The crib is a forever piece of beautifully made furniture from Kalon Studios that can be converted to a toddler bed when the time comes. In the photos it’s tricky to see the mobile, but in the room it’s a pretty piece for baby to look at when falling to sleep.
SHOP THE LOOK…
The sunlight that pours in these windows makes the entire room glow and we layered soft linen curtains on top of the blackout shades that can be pulled down to create darkness for sleep time. We chose this solid wood dresser as an interim piece until the real dresser arrives, but with time delays on some furniture being the reality of life in the design world, we decided to go ahead and photograph the nursery as is. I think it’s beautiful enough to share now and this dresser provides the function of holder baby goods, such as diapers, tiny clothing and blankets perfectly well.
On the small wall next to the walk-in closet, you can see that we added bookshelves that act as both functional storage and an art display. Here’s a look at that spot, before and after.

Here’s a close up shot of the dresser with change top basket and mirror. I absolutely love how the wallpaper can be seen through the mirror.
