Room Tour // Poppy's Pretty in Pink Dreamy Nursery

We have been so busy around these parts with putting together rooms for our little girls. The first to be finished and ready to show off to you is Poppy's nursery. The room design started with a chance outing to the hardware store where I found a copy of Dulux's Inspiring Nursery Ideas booklet. We hadn't even considered redoing the girl's spaces but the photos and ideas took me away to a happy place. I have such a fondness for design for kids and diy and this seemed the perfect mix. Poppy’s room used the Dreamy Baby theme as a basis and developed from there.

Please come in and have a peak at a little place of whimsy & delight.

The inspiration and instructions for the scalloping effect can be found on the Dulux site here. 

We chose to use a canvas it makes a lovely  3D effect by leaning it on the wall shelf. It turned out exactly as we wanted. The walls are painted in Dulux's Whisper White, a great neutral white for all the pops of colour and texture we chose. The warmth of it helps to make Poppy's small and darker room feel warm and relaxed. It also compliments the brown tones chosen in the decor. I could talk about white paints all day, the choices and effects are amazing.

The monogram circle on the door is a wall sticker from 41 Orchard. The print inside the door is by the amazing Mara Girling from Print Space, an talented group of artists and designers based out of Melbourne. I think it makes the perfect keepsake for a baby. 

The cot was bought for Piper to use by her Grandmother and has been passed along. Her {amazingly soft and luscious world's softest cotton} sheet is from Adairs. As is the Marrakesh Lattice black and white throw rug & the silver velvet cushion.

Her change table {dresser} is from Ikea. Her change mat cover is from Eco Nino Nursery. Made using GOTS certified100% organic cotton jersey and super easy to launder {necessity!}. 

Above the change table is a collection of beautiful things to keep Poppy distracted during changing time and also inspire those changing her!

The baskets scattered around the room are collected treasures and dollar store delights. We sprayed them with Dulux Spray Pak (in pink flamingo & silver enamel} to make them modern and funky. We LOVE how they turned out. A super fun DIY project.

Her clothing rack is a painted spice rack from Ikea, we used the same whisper white from the walls. Above it is a basket we were given by a beautiful Martu lady from when we lived in a remote community in the desert. It holds great memory and importance to us.

The curtains are another DIY and were white and dip dyed in pink dye. Then washed to make them have a pink tinge. This lets us play with the mood in the room. The other grey curtains are black-out {again, a nursery necessity around here!}

The nursing chair is a basic Ikea Poang. The cushion is from India and is so bright and beautiful.  The stool is another updone ikea piece with Dulux Spray Pak in pink flamingo.

On the wall is a print Moon for Neil by Martin Krusche. The joining wall has the most amazing wall stickers by 41 Orchard. I chose to use the simple white clouds on the creamy white walls because I love that you have to look twice. They are the definition of whimsy to me.

This space is perfect for use. I can sit and feed Poppy and be transported to a calm and happy place up in the sky looking down on a colourful and happy haven.

Thank-you for visiting Poppy's little space.

Stay tuned for Piper's Vintage Woodsy Wonderland coming next week!
