ORC Reveal: Baby Girl’s Whimsical Nursery

By Sabrina @pinklilnotebook · On May 11, 2016

Well it’s here. The sixth week of the One Room Challenge – aka reveal day!

Thank you to Linda of Calling it Home who orchestrates this challenge biannually. It’s such an exciting way to get a sneak peak into other blogger’s homes (or client’s homes) and watch them transform their spaces. The creativity and let’s face it, endurance through it all, is remarkably inspiring.

For my One Room Challenge, I finally completed my daughter Olivia’s nursery. Shamefully, I only began this nursery design two weeks before she was born. Of course, it was nearly impossible to finish before her arrival. Olivia who is now 10 weeks old is almost ready to transition to her own room hence why I needed a kick in the butt to get this done!

My inspiration all began with this charming wallpaper. This print reminds me of a fairy tale enchanted forest where everything is magical and it’s the norm for over-sized talking animals to join you for a garden tea party. . . is it obvious I watched Alice and Wonderland one too many times as a child 🙂

The great thing about this accent wallpaper is that this printed silhouette is still chic and subtle enough for Olivia to grow with. Something that was definitely high on my priority list. You can view more about the wallpaper from my week 1 post.

In my make-believe enchanted forest, the trees are draped with the prettiest of flowers so naturally, it’s only fitting to add some to this space.  Since the crib is fairly neutral against the wallpaper, I wanted to make it pop with a little art work from Minted and my very own DIY flower mobile.

As we continue through my fairy tale world, there’s always a quaint little house.  To mimic this idea, I created a house silhouette on the wall with pink paint which acts as the backdrop for Olivia’s crafting nook.

I also added hooks on the wall in fun pastel colours

Last but not least, Olivia’s dresser which incorporates the wood tones and also doubles as her change station. These simple DIY triangle shelves also make great wall displays.

    Love this room Sabrina! The DIY mobile is so charming. How sweet that she has spaces she’ll ‘grow into’ as well, like the table and chairs. The palette is so soft and pretty too. Well done!

      Thanks Jen! The soft palette makes it so much easier to change up in the future as her personality starts to develop.

    • Sabrina says: November 8, 2016 at 2:33 pm

      Hi Margaret, We got 3 rolls for our wall although our third roll we only needed about a 1/4 of it. I believe each roll covers 52 sq. ft.

    hi! love this nursery!! I am obsessed with the dresser, in your photos it looks grayish but the link looks super brown! What is it in real life?? More like your photos or Wayfair’s photos?

      Hi Kelsey, I was worried about the same thing when I put the order through but I was very happy with the colour. It has a brownish-greyish hue to it, as you see in my images.

    Hi Sabrina
    What are the measures for the triangle shelves ? What kind of wood are you used and what is the color. And how do you do your book shelve with olivia books.

  • Kim says: June 27, 2017 at 7:01 pm

    Hi! I absolutely love your wood floating bookshelves! Did you make them yourself or purchase them from somewhere? I would love to have them in my daughter’s nursery.
    Thanks!

    • Sabrina says: June 28, 2017 at 8:37 pm

      Hi Kim!
      We made the books shelves! It’s fairly simple to make, we used three-1″x2″ pieces of wood to create each shelf.

      Hi Mary, I definitely use an electric hand sander on most of my projects. It makes the job so much easier.
