We met with our (glowing) clients quite early in their pregnancy. They were thrilled to share that they were pregnant with not one…but TWO babies! So, a home office, located directly across from the Master Bedroom, needed to be converted into a nursery. The location within the home as well as the large windows were perfect – but the challenge was maximizing the use of the small space to accommodate two cribs, a dresser/change table, bookshelf, glider and ottoman. A thoughful Furniture Layout Plan was crucial as we needed to make sure the space wouldn’t feel cluttered and was easy to navigate (especially at 4:00am). Working under the design premise of a soft and classic, gender-neutral aesthetic (the sex of the babies was yet to be determined), we went to work. Dust-trapping wall-to-wall carpeting was ripped out and replaced with solid Maple hardwood. Charcoal-colored walls were repainted in airy creams and soft blues, separated with a new trim-moulding dry-brushed for an antique look. A classic yet whimsical tree-patterned wallpaper was applied to the window wall – paying homage to the mountain-side forests surrounding the home. Two hand-carved birch mobiles of branches and swallows appear to extend out of the trees to adorn the cribs. The solid wood, antique buttercream furniture is a collection from Restoration Hardware. http://www.lipsettphotographygroup.com/

I painted the pillows on the crib, bed and pouff. The story walls were hand-painted using a diluted paint technique to give it a light appearance and the story was created following a metric and a self harmony, incorporating the toys figures in a pleasing pattern.

Creating a Gender neutral nursery is harder than it looks. Having different gender twins made it impossible to go overboard on a theme. The budget was kept light, with the exception of the statement furniture, something easily transportable to the next home, since a future move was inevitable. Theme: Trees and animals. The sparrow cribs converts to adorable toddler beds. Photos courtesy of Modern Kids Photography

We featured the calming aesthetic desired by mom, but with the orange that is dad’s favorite color! And we did it with furniture that will convert as the daughter grows up. Photo Credit: Rolfe Hokanson Photography
