I recently finished this little nursery for baby Ben. The brief from my client (Ben's mum) was "create something really simple and natural". This is what I created.
Soo beautiful Anna. I love serene nurseries and I'm sure babies appreciate the non-garishness too! I love the chair - where did you find? Or is it from your store? B
It's so adorable. It is simple and natural, but you balanced it so well with all the wonderful children's artwork and displays. I especially love the blue word print. Love your work!
I love the natural hues and fibers in this nursery! It's very tranquil! Something I'll have to keep for inspiration when it comes time for me to start my family! By the way, love your blog!
I adore this room. If I were a baby, or a new mom, I would find this very calming. I would have never thought to do a baby's room in neutrals. You and the mom are brilliant.
This is such lovely work! I am so tired of seeing gaudy, over-the-top nurseries (though they are so fun...), but this is restrained and just wonderful!!!!!
You have awaken the sweet memory of the time when I was preparing the rooms for my children, all the joy, the expectation...Oh! thst unique feeling! Thank you for bringing it back, that is such a beautiful post.
its really beautiful - i love the calmness and the neutral colours look FAB! great art work too - love the poster as well! Great job Anna - im sure Ben's mum is very excited!!
Anna, You are such a talented designer! I'm such a big fan of your work and a daily reader of your blog. So that's why I gave you a "you make my day" award. Check it out on my blog and keep on making those wonderful posts! Julie
Lovely! I always especially love your chairs. they are so different from ours in the US. I wonder if they are more typical to australia or just to you!
I adore the whole nursery!! We're expecting a baby this summer, and your decor is very inspiring. :) You are so talented! Do you have any pics of the crib or the whole room from afar?
Beautiful job, Anna! The color palette is so soothing and it will be easy for the room to transition as Ben grows older. I really love the chair in the natural fabric with the monogram.
Wow, if my girls were bubbas again I would have their rooms just like this. Actually they dont need to be babies to have a room like this, thats the beauty of it, it just grows up with them! alicia ~ time worn style
Okay, where were you when I had my babies? Oh yeah, you were in Brsibane, I am in the US. Darn that mundane fact! I wish I could have them all over again just to copy your amazing rooms! I love your style and I must share on my blog your amazingness. Thanks for sharing with the rest of the world.
What a beautiful and relaxing nursery! Looks like the perfect place for mama and baby to spend time together, just bonding and getting to know one another.
Oh, wow - a big thank you to everyone for your very kind comments. A few of you have asked me about the chair. This is a chair I had custom made for the client to my design and specification. These chairs are becoming a signature of mine as most of the houses I am doing these days gets at least one chair which is contrast piped with a special embroidered motif on the inside back panel. If anyone is interested in pricing please email me at anna@blackandspiro.com.au
Thanks again to all! Glad you liked Ben's special nursery! XX Anna
