Name: Wynn Charlotte Johnson (8 months)
Location: Utah
Room Size: 10x14

The inspiration for Wynn's room came from what might seem like an unlikely source: a thrifted rocking chair that Wynn's mom, Cate, fell in love with. Cate decided to make the butter yellow, armchair-style rocker the seed from which the whimsical meadow theme would grow. WIth nearly everything in the nursery "thrifted or gifted," Cate and her family were able to put together a special, soothing space for their new baby girl.

It's a sad state of affairs when a baby's room looks more sophisticated than my own, grown-up bedroom, but what am I going to do? Share it on Apartment Therapy, of course! That's certainly simpler than trying to compete. With its bold color palette of charcoal gray, sunshine yellow, and soft pinks, Natalie's parents, Scott and Leah, managed to create a whimsical space while retaining the soothing nature of a functional nursery.

Tina and Stefan were first-time parents but second-time clients, brought to me from Apartment Therapy itself several years back. Tina's "Good Question," about preserving the freshness in their master bedroom while still showcasing some gorgeous family furniture led to my working with this lovely couple, and designing a nursery for their newest gender-to-remain-a-mystery-until-delivery-date soon-to-be.

While I'm normally a lover of color, my jaw dropped when I first came across Sarah's son Cooper's nursery. I think it's actually more difficult to create a visually appealing children's space with neutrals, but Sarah's design is spot-on. The patterns, textures, and well-thought out details make this neutral nursery anything but dull. Read on to find out more about this gorgeous and welcoming space.

One wouldn't generally think a room with white walls, furniture, and bedding could ever be called colorful, but add a few pops of neon here and there and what was once a monochromatic space suddenly leaves a very colorful impression. That's exactly what Andrea decided to do in her littlest one's nursery. She started with a soothing base of whites and neutrals and added traditional furniture and a handmade quilt - all the makings of a very classic nursery. But with the addition of a few neon accessories, the room suddenly took a more modern twist and became full of life - perfect for its newest little inhabitant.

Canadian designer, painter, and blogger Christine Dovey is constantly on a quest for the perfect score for her nearly perfect home.
