Isabel's Pink and White Nursery
Isabel’s nursery is almost finished! Her sweet nursery has become my favorite room of the house, without a doubt. I love to come in here and organize her clothes and wait patiently for her arrival. It won’t be too much longer until she’s here in my arms!
When we moved in, I knew this room would become the nursery once we were ready to start our family — it gets the most gorgeous light and the crepe myrtle outside the window makes it feel like a treehouse. And I’m so excited to see how it has turned out. As soon as we found out it was a girl, I knew exactly the nursery I wanted to design. I knew I wanted to do something soft, pretty, with a bit of whimsy for the nursery. Something that felt magical — I had so much fun designing and decorating this space and I hope you love it too!

DESIGN DETAILS
For Isabel’s nursery, a lot of time and thought went into sourcing each piece. I’m so happy with how everything turned out, so here you’ll find my thought process behind each design detail.
I was pretty set on doing wallpaper, but decided to leave the walls white so it was a room she could grow into. We went with Sherwin Williams “Cotton White” and it’s the perfect soft shade that compliments the rest of our home. I’m so glad we decided to keep things simple — everytime I walk into her room, I feel calm and relaxed.
When it came to choosing nursery furniture, I knew everything needed to be eco-friendly, clean, and sustainable. I sourced pieces that were Green Gold Certified (and everything else is vintage). This is so important to me because it means that the piece has been tested for chemicals — leading to cleaner indoor air and safety for baby.
I instantly fell in love with this recliner from Million Dollar Baby — it might be our favorite piece in the nursery. We have it in the Performance Cream Eco-Weave. The fabric is water-repellent and stain-resistant, making it the perfect spot for nursing and feeding baby girl. And the fabric is made from recycled water bottles — how cool is that? Not that you could tell, it has such a luxurious texture and feel. Truly our favorite spot in the house as we wait for Isabel’s arrival. I dressed it up with a gingham pillow from Heather Taylor Home and it’s just perfect.
Alongside her nursing station, we paired a side table from Pottery Barn Kids and a charming rattan floor lamp (sold out, similar here).
We went with the Austen crib from Pottery Barn Kids, as well as the Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress and Crib Sheet in Organic Cotton. Her gorgeous petal pink quilt is from Louelle (the bedtime gift set makes an amazing gift for new moms). And the Belgian linen crib skirt is from Pottery Barn Kids, shade is Flax. Her floral De Buci Teddy Bear is one of my favorite things in the nursery! For monitoring and safe sleep, we went with the Nanit Pro which came highly recommended by many!
An Olli Ella changing basket sits atop her Pottery Barn Kids dresser, while the Ubbi diaper pail is in a conveniently hidden spot next to it.
We chose this white scalloped mirror for above the changing table, and I found these lovely vintage floral prints while thrifting with my mom. To add some soft color and texture, we went with this stunning vintage-inspired rug from Pottery Barn Kids. I wanted something vintage, but knowing she would be crawling thought it would be better to source new — this was the perfect compromise.
Her rattan book holder is another favorite vintage piece I found on Chairish, allowing for little hands to easily reach for books as she gets older. A few more woven elements I love in her room are these baskets from Jenni Kayne Home to store her blankets and quilts and this Strolley from Olli Ella.
