Ruby's Grey and Red Nursery

by Shannon

The design of Ruby's grey and red nursery is most likely due to the fact that I love vintage colors even though I didn't want to get stuck with a limited palette that was very restrictive.

To prevent this, rather than using a single theme or inspiration piece, we chose to blend the best elements of a vintage and modern look that complement each other but are not pieces of a collection or a "matched set".


For instance, my mom and I made all of the baby bedding. I just picked out fabrics that I liked and made sure that they all went together. The Apple and Pear print is by Alexander Henry and I found it at JoAnn Fabrics.

I also made the mobile using scrap fabric into pinwheels and a craft ring covered in ribbon.
The bright red and white polka dot fitted crib sheet is framed with a bumper made of fabric with a fruit print edged with white eyelet lace. The background of the fabric is baby blue and covered in yellow and lime green apples and pink pears with touches in the same shade of red as the crib sheet.

Ruby's white crib is one of the vintage touches in the room and looks perfect with the red and white ties that attach the bumper to the rails.




FLOOR COVERING

My mom made a rectangle shaped area rug that we keep on the floor next to the baby's bed. It has all of the colors of the baby bedding as well as a "dotted" pattern of sorts.




NURSERY FURNITURE & STORAGE

We felt that the best color for the furniture for Ruby's grey and red nursery would be a clean white. The armoire, "changing" table and crib are all "vintage" and have been repainted.

If you will notice, the polka dot design from the red portion of the baby bedding is repeated in the colorful storage bins.





LIGHTING

My dad and husband installed the light fixture which was from Ikea. The crystal beads of the chandelier add some sparkle to the room. The table lamp next to the SUPER comfortable chair is less formal but very colorful and fun!

WINDOW TREATMENTS

The fabric of the window valance is the same bright red color as seen in the baby bedding. The rich red looks amazing next to the gray wall color.

I really liked the sweet touches of vintage including book ends that I found on Etsy and old vintage prints found at a thrift store.
