eDesign | Baby Girl Mix

Urban Perch's most recent eDesign is for the Mix's newest addition, making her special debut in December.  Not only is this little girl entering into the world with two of the greatest (to be) parents, but now she has a sweet, non-thematic room to top it off.

Jess (baby Mix's mama) had picked out the furniture and bedding, and wanted some ideas for potential space layouts and decor to supplement the room.

I wanted to make sure the space was cozy and something the little lady could grow into.  Jess is a dance coach and vice principal, so I thought it would be fun to infuse some dance elements within the space (without plastering the wall with ballet slippers).

Baby Mix's new space plan is below (two were included - one with the sofa, one without), and you can find her Urban Perch designed Pinterest board here.

A few project details:
Avoid: Anything too thematic
Likes: Gray and Yellow
Style: Contemporary, Transitional
Existing furniture: Crib, Dresser, Sofa and Rocker

 
There are a lot of "favorites" in this design scheme.  But two of my favorite finds are this "Foods Before Dudes" print from Scout Mob.

And this linen pillow also available from Scout Mob.

eDesign | Baby E

I am always so happy to hear when friends are expecting their first baby.  There is so much joy, nervousness and love built into the news that it makes for an exciting mix of emotions!

I've seen Lindsey and Rob's relationship blossom (yes, I said blossom) throughout the years (college, long distance, DC, and now Alabama) and couldn't be happier for them.  Their little one is going to be one lucky gal (awesome parents and good genes, what?!).

Baby E's new space plan is below, and you can find her Urban Perch designed Pinterest board here.

A few project details:
Avoid: Too much color
Likes: Gray, White and Ballerina Pink
Style: Traditional, Shabby Chic
Space Issues: Make sure to fit the full bed
Existing furniture: Bed and Crib

Linds had picked out the bedding and palette, and the bed and crib were existing.  I wanted to make the two areas separate and also wanted to introduce furniture that the baby could grow into.

I also stalked Pottery Barn (meaning I called them) to figure out what grays they used in some of their bedroom sets.

I love how girly and sophisticated the room feels.  My favorite pieces have to be the lamb mobile available on Etsy, the Rifle Paper Co prints (the bobby pin one is adorbs), and the Head in the Clouds throw pillow by land of nod just makes me smile.

Shopping | Best of Baby

As I get started on another nursery e-design project, I'm finding more and more inspirational sites and e-commerce sites dedicated to all things baby.

See below for a list of just some of my favorites.  Inspiration free of charge!

Lay Baby Lay: Fresh takes on nursery "themes" like this Camping concept board.  Love the mix and matching of vintage furniture with newer finds.  You can find some of her darling prints here.

Pkolino's Safari Collection is one of my favorites.  Their furniture is creative and whimsical, and well made.  And (icing on the cake), one of the founders is a Babson MBA grad.

 Abe's Market is good for all things eco-friendly, particularly their baby and kids products.  I'm particularly fond of Sprout's City Print Cardboard Cubby Bins.  A fun storage solution that kids could definitely grow into.

Design Mom is pure inspiration.  Designer, mother of six, and currently living in the French countryside.

Target's Little Castle Charleston Swivel Glider (lets work on a shorter name) is available here.  Good reviews and reasonably priced at $450 makes this a nursery must have.

 























Also fun is the Nurseryworks Empire Rocker from New Arrivals Inc.

And last, but not least, is Urban Perch's very own Lilypad mirror.  Too cute.
