When we found out we were expecting, I was so excited to get started on the nursery. Even before I knew if we were having a boy or girl, I knew I wanted a very calm, neutral and serene space. I wanted lots of pops of white to make the room feel crisp and airy.
I’m really happy with how Harper’s room turned out and I can’t wait to share it with you all right now! I decided to add mint green to my color palette after not liking the way light pink was looking in the room. I think the mint green makes the space feel really fresh. I also installed wall bookshelves to add a pop of color to the otherwise neutral space.
The first two photos were taken by Allen Kramer during my maternity photo shoot and the rest were taken by me. Many thanks to Melissa at Fawn Over Baby for editing the color balance in these photos!
Her dresser, which we also use as a changing table. Please note I removed the changing pad for these photos. The gold prints don’t read as well on camera as they do in real life—they are beautiful!

Love everything – you are so talented at decorating! The grey color scheme is so soothing & beautiful, love the texture added by the faux sheepskin. The book ledge on the wall is a brilliant idea. You and Harper are going to have such a fun time together in here 🙂

A sweet room for a beautiful baby girl. Enjoy motherhood. It is a journey like no other. I noticed Harper's library. As a teacher and a Mimi always read to Harper. It affords a great educational foundation and a special time each day with your daughter.
Rachel says
Beautiful! I love that it's so light, bright and neutral and the gold prints and the "H" are so glam!
Katie says
This is so beautiful! Harper is lucky to have you for her mommy!
Bella says
Absolutely gorgeous!! You should go into home design!
Suz says
Beautiful room! You accomplished the calm and serene part. (As an aside, I don't think you "owe" anyone a disclaimer about the bumpers or netting, either. 😉
Casey says
So lovely! Congrats on the little one!
JMMarden says
I really love how this came together! Serene and polished but still with a few whimsical touches. Really beautiful 🙂

So beautiful and calming…just what a baby needs! The mint green is perfect, I think! Love the H above the crib too! Oh, and my son has always slept with a bumper and I saw the questions about the nap nanny on instagram and we used it for many months and we love it too!
Allison Tee says
Hey Veronika! Beautiful room! Congrats on your adorable baby girl! Moo Baa Lalala is my absolute favorite baby book. My baby boy just loves it. 🙂 As a side note, while I know people will make rude comments about bumpers one way or another, I can tell you that I planned to remove our bumpers once our baby started sleeping in his room and when that day finally came (around 6 months), we actually decided he seemed safer and more comfortable with the bumpers. All that to say—you have to decide as a parent what you feel comfortable with and what you feel is the safest. I would guess that most of the people out there with really strong opinions probably do something on their own that isn't the safest thing possible. You'll figure it out as you go! And don't stress about baby-proofing yet…you have a long ways to go before that becomes a concern. Best wishes to you!
Irene says
It's the best nursery I've ever seen! Wow so pretty! She's a lucky girl

absolutely lovely. I have been swooning over a similar color scheme for my next nursery whenever baby #2 comes along.
natasha {schue love} says
It's such a beautiful room! You did an amazing job. Love the neutral palette…will be very serene for baby girl! 🙂
Carolyn says
I love how beautiful and simple it is! I struggled with the simple part myself and so have taken various items down as I decide they're unnecessary. Now it just looks incomplete… Harper's is lovely.

oh, it is GORGEOUS. Next baby I have, you're coming to NC to decorate for me 🙂
Theresa says
Gorgeous room! I would love the ottoman for my son's nursery, but did not see it on the RH website link. Did you buy online or in store?
Schnelle says
Beautiful! I love the chandelier, I hope to get one for Aubrey's room when we move into our new home. The bunny theme is so cute- love the wall prints and rocker. Your glider looks so cozy and that can definitely transition into another room once she grows. You did a great job, it's so calm, serene, and fresh.
karebear304 says
Just wanted to mention to you that we did a change pad on top of a dresser and we weren't using the buckle, so we tucked it underneath and it scratched the top of our dresser pretty badly. After we fixed it we put down some of that semi-thick shelf liner down under the change pad and it works great. Bonus – it keeps the change pad from sliding around!

Very calming. Will you be adding anything with bright or contrasting colors too? Young babies don't have strong vision so they're mostly stimulated by items high contrasts (e.g. black/white, black/red, etc). That's why a lot of baby mobiles are very colorful.

LOVE!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!!

Such a lovely nursery – my jaw dropped, it's so gorgeous but serene and calm at the same time! I'm really loving all of the touches of gold, especially that "H" hanging behind the crib! Really pulls things together 🙂

Hi, congrats on the baby. I'm just wondering if you're going to be posting any more fashion/beauty updates or is it going to be more about baby stuff from now on? I feel like all my favorite bloggers have turned into nothing but baby stuff 🙁 I'm def nowhere near the age of having a child, so I'm wondering if I'll have to find another other blogs to read now? Thank you

Love the nursery and I'm looking at the ottomans at RH for our second nursery. Do you know the name of the color you purchased? It appears to be a light gray in your pictures which would work perfectly in our room but all I see right now is what seems to be a darker gray called Dove and a cream color called Natural. Thanks!
[email protected] says
I believe it is called dove gray— but mine looks lighter than the pic shows on the site…so I don't know if it's just a bad pic or if they changed the color or something? sorry 🙁
Donna says
So pretty! Even though we went the opposite route with our nursery (lots and lots of colors), I think this monotone gray is nicely done 🙂 The chandelier was a great idea, it really makes the room.
Deidre Forcillo says
I love this! You have fantastic taste. I've been in search of your ottoman. I can't find it on RH Baby or RH. Did you purchase in store or on-line?
Deidre Forcillo says
Beautiful nursery! I love the feel of the room. I've been searching for your ottoman. I can't find it on RHBaby.com or RH.com. DId you purchase in store?
[email protected] says
@deidreI would call the store. I don't see it online but it was online a few weeks ago. I ordered at the store to get free shipping but they ordered it from the website. Call customer service they can help! 🙂
Kathryn Duchnicky says
Absolutely beautiful! I am positive that Harper loves her room!
Charlie says
I love the curtains! Are these the same ones you have downstairs in your kitchen? I know you said you purchased them from RH Baby & Child, but I was wondering what style and color they are. They have optic white and warm white on the site. I absolutely love your style!
[email protected] says
The ones in the kitchen at Thai Silk and the nursery ones are cotton. I got the optic white 🙂

Hi Veronika,
Like the carpet! Can i have the brand and model, please?? Thanks a lot
[email protected] says
I'm sorry but I don't have that information because our house was a model home so we didn't pick it. I actually can't recommend this carpet either and would encourage you to check out other options. The color is not ideal and it shows any kind of dirt and debris very quickly. Hope this helps!
Ada Leung says
Hi Veronika,
Thanks for the reply!! I really like your home work, you have a very good taste. Any color or pattern would you recommend for the carpet (living room)? Thanks a lots! Have a nice weekend!

What bible verse did you use above the dresser? I love everything about this nursery!

James 1:17

swati shah says
This room is so gorgeous! Veronika – is the Revere Pewter full strength? It looks lighter (in a good way) than pictures of other homes I've seen online
[email protected] says
thank you! yes it is full strength but the photos were brightened up a bit because some of them were a little dark and didnt represent the true brightness of the room.

I'm sorry! I see it's on here as "bunting." Just never heard it called that before! Do you know the brand and style type of the glider?
[email protected] says
I'm sorry I don't remember the style or brand. It's from a local boutique in houston cles doodles. It's one of their best sellers.
Adrianna says
What finish did you use for Revere pewter????
Liza says
Nursery is stunning!! I want to do that exact paint color and I see that it’s Benjamin Moore’s “Revere Pewter” but when I google that color it looks darker than in your pictures. Did you get the color lightened by any chance? Thanks so much!
Veronika says
No I did not, but the pictures were lightened to be brighter and have ideal white balance. If you want something lighter, we used sherwin williams “first star” in our new home! It’s a little lighter. Very neutral and airy.
hailey valenti says
do you know what color you used on the walls? and is it more of a tan or a grey?
Veronika says
It’s revere pewter by benjamin moore— it’s a very light neutral gray. My new house has sherwin williams first star which is even lighter and I prefer it. Check out my son’s nursery here: https://www.veronikasblushing.com/2017/01/lincolns-nursery-reveal.html

They’re RH baby & child
Mary Shine says
Could you tell me the make and color of the carpeting in the nursery.
Thank you!
Veronika says
I’m sorry Mary – this was a model home and we did not select the carpet. Having said that, we hated this carpet and would never choose it for a home. I recommend looking into light colored Berber carpet (it’s what we have in our current home and we adore it!)
