norah's nursery tour...

i was more than thrilled to receive an email from carrie, the editor of apartment therapy's children blog ohdeedoh, asking to do a tour of norah's nursery!

her curiousity was peeked when i posted a little sneak peek of norah's nursery a while back.

here's a mini tour of the nursery. for more pictures, and information on how i put it together, check out the nursery tour and interview over on ohdeedoh, click here.

and, for more pics, you can always go to my flickr page, here.

thanks for all the nice comments everyone!

molly. i used spray paint. krylon yellow called bright idea in gloss.

aurora. all the pillows are from pier one, as well as the window treatment. it was a table runner :)

Catherine said...

I love the nursery, it's so beautiful! I am wondering about the fabric used in one of the hopps - it's the animal print in the lower right. My mom recently picked up a bib made with this pattern and have been looking for it ever since! Can you tell me more about it, if you don't mind? Thanks! And again, beautiful job!

.caroline armelle. said...

catherine.

thanks for the comment!

i bought that fabric at a local fabric store, and i have no idea who makes it? sorry i couldn't help.

Allison said...

Love the nursery! I was wondering where you got your crib bumpers. I too am using several busy fabrics and want the bumpers to be plain white. This is harder to find than I thought it would be. Could you tell me where you found yours?
Thanks!

Allison said...

Me again. Did you make your curtains? I want to do a short curtain like that with blinds.
Ok that's all :)

.caroline armelle. said...

hi allison.

the bumpers are from pottery barn. they have a pink edge to them. the curtain/valance is actually a table runner from pier one that i used as a valance.

thanks!

Amy said...

Oh my word!! I love this so much.

Stephanie said...

This is one of the most darling nurseries I've seen!

carrie said...

absolutely beautiful! where did you get the crib sheet? i love it. thanks for the inspiration!

.caroline armelle. said...

hi carrie.
thanks!

the crib sheet is the part of the brooke bedding from pottery barn kids.

carrie said...

one more question...where is your rocker/glider from? thanks!

Meredith said...

This makes me want another baby....specifically a girl. But, since I have a 3 year old and 1 year old...yeah, better not.
But, I love everything about this room! Hope you don't mind, but I linked to you I loved it so much! Great job...and 8 months pregnant while doing it? Even more amazing.

Laura said...

Mind if I ask what color you used for the room walls?

Lassy_21 said...

Beautiful Nursery. If you don't mind me asking where did you find that picture with the red birds on it?

Lerra said...

This nursery is adorable!! I found it a couple of months ago, and used it as color inspiration for my daughter's room, who we just adopted a couple of weeks ago. I hope you don't mind but I posted a pic of your room on my blog since it was part of the inspiration for mine. :) I also did the fabric swatch project from The Purl Bee, thanks to your post. :) Thanks for posting these pics!

Erin said...

I love your yellow crib!! I would like to paint a crib and I was wondering what needs to be done so that the painted crib is safe for the baby. Thanks!

Would you mind sharing the name of this paint color!? It is beautiful!
Thanks!!! cami@lovelulus.com

Natalie said...

Lauren said...

Norah's nursery is beyond gorgeous! Any chance you can tell me how you spray painted the chandelier? Thanks!

Kelly said...

I love this! I'm planning on using a similar color palette. Thank you for the inspiration!

Katie said...

LOVE THIS NURSERY! Our baby is due in a week and we still don't have a crib bc the husband and I just can't find one we both love... until now! I know you spray painted the crib, did you sand before hand? And how did you finish it off afterwards? THANK YOU for the tips!!
