Can You Imagine It? The Perfect, Pink Baby Nursery!

As mothers, we at the Bella Cottage believe that in order to create the perfect place of rest for your little one, the nursery room has to be a peaceful haven for Mommy, too! With all the hours you’re going to spend with your new baby in this space, we believe that the room should be beautiful, soothing as well as functionable. Our children have grown up and our of their nurseries, but that doesn’t stop us from dreaming! Here are our ideas:

We’re huge fans of PINK and we would love to have a space just filled with it! Imagine a gorgeous, crystal pink chandelier -with pink shades– hanging in the center of the room. The right lighting will add a peaceful ambiance as you gently rock your child to sleep.

The right wall decor will also add a charming statement to the room’s decor. Alot of mothers will add wooden plaques spelling out their child’s name on the walls. A nice alternative is a hand-painted, personalized banner with your baby’s name. Personal and so unique! And with the right touch of soft pinks and roses, you can’t go wrong.

Of course, the right area rug and furniture will add the finishing touches. Our favorite rug is the Sienna Rose Wool Rug. Looking at it, it’s like constantly walking in a rose garden. And it’s high quality materials will withstand any stain! (Trust me, we’ve had coffee incidents on ours!) And finally, little touches besides the usual furniture will add even more comfort and personal style. A handmade tuffet, for instance, will give you an extra sitting spot and it’s just too cute! It’ll add the perfect amount of softness to your room.

Sex and the City Movie – Lily’s Bedroom is fit for a pink princess!

What better way to wind down the end of the week than with a fun girly movie? That’s what I thought I was going to do when I popped in Sex and the City: The Movie today. But it’s SO HARD to take the work out of the girl sometimes!

There’s this darling scene where Carrie sits in Lily’s room and they’re on her bed reading a fairy tale book. (Lily, if you didn’t know, is Charlotte’s lovely adopted daughter.) So, while the characters are discussing Prince Charming, my eyes are wandering over the interior decor.  And suddenly I think, “OOH! I KNOW THAT FABRIC!” I hit pause and I stare at Lily’s bed.

There! In the lower left corner! (I have a sharp eye for these things.) What do I see but none other that that charming Pink & Brown Toile Fabric with darling little angels & cherubs! This fabric is EVERYWHERE! I was so excited, because we actually carry a line of handmade items made of this exact fabric!

You can view the entire Pink and Brown Angel Toile Collection here on our website. Everything ranging from custom made furniture upholstered in this gorgeous fabric to a variety of fabulous ruffle pillows. A few of the pillow designs we carry even have pink satin accents and backing — it looks so sweet and charming!
