One of my favorite people I’ve met through blogging is Erika over at Urban Grace- a force to be reckoned with in the design world and a really nice person to boot. She recently announced she was pregnant with a girl and that inspired me to design a nursery for her little decorator-to-be!
She’s already picked out this fabulous vintage light fixture and I thought I’d pair it with the Restoration Hardware Sutton Canopy crib I’ve been coveting (it’s on sale)!
A crib bumper in the Quadrille chocolate pink toile and crib skirt in China Seas pink and white graphic pattern set against Benjamin Moore’s Touch of Pink on the walls:
The ceiling painted in a chocolate and white stripe like J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons’ nursery in her home as shown in Domino:
White cotton duck drapes (like these by Palmer Weiss) and valance trimmed in a pink and white greek key and a graphic chocoltae and white rug from West Elm:
A vintage faux bamboo dresser (turned into a changing table) with pink knobs from Anthropologie and a large Andy Warhol sunset print hanging above it (need to introduce the kid to pop art early on) :)
A touch of modern with Duc Duc’s pink rocker and Thomas Paul’s dog print pillow (to represent Erika’s two other babies…)
French alphabet cards by Etsy seller Bibitty in white IKEA Ribba frames with chocolate grasscloth mats hung in a grid on the brown wall behind the crib!
What a beautiful crib and I love the dresser.
Wow! Love it! Would it be weird for a 40-something woman to move into that nursery? Because I think I would be very happy there.
love the nursery design. So very lovely.
Oh my, I love it all and I certainly think she’ll love it too!!!!!
The yellow striped ceiling caught my fancy. How fun! -susan
Oh, I just love this!
I love your nursery design! Im going to use some of those ideas in my own baby’s nursery. Thanks!!
I LOVE those French alphabet cards. Such a beautiful nursery design!
That nursery is to Die for! Love the yellow and white ceiling. Most people forget the ceiling when babies spend lots of time looking at it!
I’m crazy over the Thomas Paul greyhound pillow. I bought my friend one for Christmas.
Great post!
I think you just planned my dream (girl) nursery! I had 3 of those pics saved in a “nursery” file already on my computer, ha!
wow- I love it!
I LOVE Ericka’s blog – I constantly am stalking both of your blogs! Such great talent!
Oh, I love that crib and the pink and brown combo is beautiful!!
Ummm hello. I’m obviously just getting caught up on my blog reading and am FLOORED (with delight!) to see this for my little peanut! She just gave me a big kick (of approval) on all these precious and wonderful selections. Thank you for thinking of us!!! ;) You’re the best!!

I love love love your ideas for the nursery! I’ve (mentally)collected some of the same images myself. I especially love your picture framing idea. Are the grass cloth mats available at Ikea?
Jill- you can have some made at a frame shop or make your own, like I did by buying pre-cut mats and a roll of grass cloth wallpaper and gluing it to the mat!
Seriously lovely…a little girl’s dream room, I’m sure. I love the treatment you thought up for the curtains; simple, classic, and timeless. And that dresser, oh my! Lets just say I want one.
makes me want to have another baby…just for the uber cool design.
Wow! That is incredible…who wouldn’t love that gorgeous nursery? Just perfect. Love it! : )
I am DYING over that faux bamboo dresser. Wherever did you find it? I would pay big bucks for that !!!
Bravo, what an amazing nursery board!
Lovely nursery!!
Love EVERYTHING, especially the window treatments. I have been coveting those exact Alphabet cards – are they not just fabulous? You did an awesome job! So beautiful!
This would be one fabulous nursery.
I love the alphabet cards too!
Oh wow, with this fierce little nursery Erika’s baby will be one stylin’ diva.
Love it!!!
those french alphabet cards are so much better than the average alphabet pictures. i love these!
Love the dresser :)
Great job, Erin.
This is going to be a wonderful room.
Almost makes me want to have another baby.
Almost!

Brooke
makes me want to be her baby.
now how is a girl supposed to sleep with all that style!
Beautiful room!!
I have sat in that rocker and it is NOT comfortable at all! A little sad, because that is the one I wanted for my nursery!
I am foaming at the mouth in anticipation of Erika’s nursery! Can you imagine the eye candy that little girl will soak in every day in her crib?! Thank you for this post…I’m bookmarking it for my own future nursery:)
And thank you so much for including me in your blogroll! I am so honored and absolutely love your style. I’ve just linked to you, as well. Thanks for making my day!
Omg, I've been admiring those cotton duck drapes that I spotted somewhere else. I want to recreate them for my master, but with an aqua grosgrain trim. Now that I know it's just cotton duck, it's off to the fabric store for me! Thanks! :)
