Crystal Coast Parent: A Beautiful Nursery on a Budget
Sep 19, 2011
View Article
Nursery décor isn’t what it used to be. And that is great news for those who love interior design and décor! Many parents-to-be are moving away from character themes and the expected pinks and blues and are instead opening their minds to design possibilities. In fact, a survey by Baby Shop magazine found that nearly half (47 percent) of current and future parents want nurseries that are an extension of their stylish home décor.
To help you find the right style for your baby’s nursery, here are some tips from the team behind the Inspired Nursery blog at www.inspirednursery.com:
Get Temporarily Trendy
There are certain nursery items that you will be able to change out easily as trends evolve and as your child grows and expresses him or herself. Keep up with the latest color trends? Add a pillow and throw to your glider or buy some homemade or purchased wall art as a way to infuse a trendy color without committing to it forever. Love today’s trends of owls, or find yourself drawn to colorful knit dolls designed overseas? These are easy items to bring into the room, sit on a shelf or display in a bookcase, but can be changed out when the next trend comes along. Obsessed with the latest celebrity nursery designs? Take some inspiration from your favorites but know you don’t have to try to match a room item by item. Choose a color scheme or theme and then find a way to incorporate parts of it within your budget.
Invest in Rest
The smart move is to invest in a few pieces of high-quality furniture that will grow with your child. These are pieces that will remain in the nursery as it evolves into a toddler’s and then big kid’s room: Select furniture that complements the look of the rest of your home. Love traditional style? Seek out nursery collections that fit right in. Focused on a transitional look? Seek out cribs and furniture with clean lines and solid construction. Do you love the look of rich brown furniture or are you eager to see white wood furniture against pops of paint color and bedding? Nursery furniture comes in a wide variety of beautiful finishes. You can browse the images at www.facebook.com/inspirednursery for inspiration. Look for Lifestyle cribs which easily convert from crib to toddler-, day-, and eventually a full-sized bed, which means they will grow with your child. Consider other adaptable furniture pieces. This includes armoires that can convert into media centers, and dressers that can serve as changing tables. Learn more at www.LaJobi.com.
Get Personal
Give the nursery its own special look with accessories that are not only attractive, but have special meaning, too. Celebrate your family’s heritage with treasures from scrapbooks, old family photo albums, textiles and art pieces from your family’s native country. Personalize baby’s room with handmade art and accessories from local artists or from online sources such as www.Etsy.com. Wall decals are a great way to transform a room. You can find everything from sophisticated small border decals and medium sized murals to large trees and fun circus animals – and you can apply them yourself. You don’t need to be a designer to create a beautiful nursery – you just need a little patience and the right inspiration.

You just have to like Inspired Nursery and then sign up for the giveaways with your name and email address. Winners will be notified by email.
I was looking around Inspired Nursery at all the brands that Inspired Nursery offers and wow! Bonavita, Europa Baby and Little Miss Matched and more. I think I would get a glider cradle if we have anymore babies because I know how Baby B was when he had colic. He always had to be moving or “wwwaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” all night long. We had a convertible crib for both of our boys. Why buy multiple beds when you can move 1 around and use it for years and years? Looking at these cribs all most makes me want another baby, all most. Good luck if you take the minute to enter.

Hurry! Today is the LAST DAY!
I just found out about a contest that I think some of my readers might be interested in. Inspired Nursery (www.InspiredNursery.com) is having a special contest on their Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/InspiredNursery). If Inspired Nursery can get 1,500 “likes” on their Facebook page they will give away a beautiful CoCaLo baby bedding set and a Serta Crib Mattress. If they can reach 2,000 fans they will give a lucky fan a brand new crib from the Babi Italia collection. Right now they are at 1,488 “likes”. I’m sure they can easily hit 2,000 with your help. Be sure to spread the word with family, friends and those you network with. All you have to do to enter is simply “like” their Facebook page. You can’t get any easier then that.
I was checking out some of the product lines that Inspired Nursery works with. One of them is Bonavita (www.Bonavita.com). Oh my! I wish they had crib sets like this when my children were babies. I absolutely love the convertible crib sets. Those are the ones that go from a crib, to a toddler bed and eventually they turn into a full size grown up bed. You just need the one bed set to take your child from infancy to adulthood. Talk about getting your moneys worth. I love the Sheffield Lifestyle Crib. It’s so pretty! I love the additional matching pieces you can purchase with it too. They have lifestyle sets ideal for girls, boys and unisex.
Another company is Babi Italia (www.BabiItalia.com). Oh my! Check out this beautiful Glider Cradle. I REALLY could have used this for our son when he was an infant. He had the worst colic in the world and constantly had to be kept moving or he’d scream his head off. This went on every day from around 5:00 PM to approximately 1:00 AM for around 4-5 months. It was a nightmare. If we had a Glider Cradle I bet it would have helped us out a lot. It would be much easier to gently push the cradle back and forth compared to walking around our home bouncing him up and down. I have never seen, or even heard of a Glider Cradle before. I had a Glider Chair when my daughter was an infant. They are really nice.
Check out www.Facebook.com/InspiredNursey and “like” their page for a chance to win a beautiful crib. For more information and tips by other moms about nurseries and nursery designs please visit www.InspiredNursery.com.

When you envision your baby’s nursery do you see a crib with a classic or vintage look? The crib is often the anchoring element in the room, the first piece of furniture picked out when the planning process begins.

Bonavita’s collections are traditional yet versatile enough to fit any nursery style. They design their furniture collections with families in mind, from style and finish to safety.
