There is the cutest little shop in Santa Rosa, CA with a great little tag line – “A boutique for the trendy tot and mom-to-be”.  Full of whimsical and adorable clothing and decor, you can’t help but want to buy everything in the store.

Lucky for those of us who live far from Santa Rosa, you can browse online to your heart’s content and purchase their maternity clothing, baby clothing, nursery bedding, kid wall decor, and personalized baby gifts from the comfort of your own home.

Check out this modern bird nursery wall decor for a taste of the style of the baby boutique.  A beautiful combination of colors and patterns, these wall art pieces would work well in a girl’s room. Bright pinks, blue, yellow, green and chocolate bring all your favorite girl decor colors together in one piece. The birds are decorated with patchwork-like patterns in the modern style we love.

This bird wall art giclee reproduction is hand stretched over sturdy wood stretcher bars and gallery wrapped around a 3/4 inch thick frame. It comes ready to hang. There is a bio of the artist on the back.  Each piece is 10.5″x10.5″ and sells for $52.

Up, Up, & Away for a Space Themed Kids Room

Space themed kids bedroom decor

Space themed kids bedroom decor

Help your little boy or girl blast off to dream land via a ride through space with this astronaut-worthy kids bedroom decor set from Land of Nod.  This navy and orange 100% cotton bedding set can help you create an out-of-this-world (literally!) spaced-themed kid’s room that is both fun and stylish.

The bedding set comes with a choice of two options. Choose the navy blue quilt that depicts our solar system with the sun, stars, moons, and the eight planets revolving around it.  Or, try the star decorated duvet cover in light blue and navy with matching sheets.  Don’t forget the formerly known planet Pluto with a cute little round throw pillow to puncutate the bed.

Once you have your bedding, there are so many ways to build around it to bring your space-themed room to life – or shall we say extra-terrestial life.  For example, seek a pale, smoky blue wall paint to create a space-like aura.  If you have floor, chair, or ceiling molding, consider painting it navy to bring visual depth to the room.  Consider wall decals, wall stickers or other hanging wall art of rocket ships, stars, and planets.  Or, try glow in the dark star stickers on the ceiling so your child can doze off while watching the stars of the galaxy.

If space is not your thing, see our other ideas for fun baby nursery and kids room themes.

Seeing Green? Beautiful Tree Wall Decal for a Nature Themed Nursery

Green Tree Nursery Wall Decal

Green Tree Nursery Wall Decal

Nature themes are a great way to create a calming, zen-like nursery for your little one and there are many creative ways to do that.  An easy way is with removable wall decals because there are so many ways to create a unique look for your baby’s room.  You can use them sparingly as wall decor accents or more aggressively to create a sticker wall mural.

This tree wall decal from Pottery Barn Kids is brand new and we think an adorable way to get that zen look. It depicts a nature or forest scene in a cozy shade of apple green.  The stenciled look is subtle and classy depicting trees, leaves, bears, deer, and birds. The wall decal is shown here with Pottery Barn Kids’ Peter Rabbit nursery bedding collection, a sleigh crib, and a cute little knit rocking horse.

The wall decal is 48″ w x 15.5″ high and sells for $49.  You may need to purchase more than one should you want to achieve the wall mural look.  Another way to way to save on costs is to seek matching wall paint to cover other parts of the wall.

So, you have your crib, changing table, and bedding set.  You just finished painting the wall.  Now, it’s time to put the finishing touches on your nursery. One of our readers told us that New Arrivals, Inc. had lovely little nursery or kid’s room decor accessories for such a task and we couldn’t agree more. 

Started by mom and entrepreneur Tori Swaim, New Arrivals, Inc. started almost a decade ago when Tori had this “nagging” idea for a box that would cleverly disguise baby wipes. She designed Hide-a-Wipe Boxes™ and has since followed with a high end line of various nursery décor items and accessories including frames, hanging wall letters, wastebaskets, bookholders, growth charts, outfits and most recently a line of bedding and furniture products.

Several celebrity nurseries have been adorned with New Arrivals’ products and Tori’s design eye including Julia Roberts, Christina Auguilera, Jennie Garth, and Marcia Cross.

Though plenty to choose from, we found these three accessories particularly cute:

Decorative Containers – Beautiful little waste baskets and tissue holders are decorated in baby boy blue, baby girl pink, and gender neutral green.  Many of them can come personalized with your baby’s initial or you can keep it simple with their polka dot and striped patterns. 

Tiny Step Stools - Great for getting to those hard to reach places and keeping with the design aesthetic of your room. 

Fabric Wall Letters – Choose from pink and green for decorating a girl’s room or blue and green for decorating a boy’s room.  The fabric texture creates a softer feel than wooden wall letters and provides more visual depth than letter wall decals.

Most of want a way to make our baby’s nursery or kid’s room special to reflect the uniqueness of our little one. But, that can be hard to do. Lucky for us, Custom Nursery Art by Kimberly is here to rescue us from the usual.

Austin, TX, based Kimberly Cox is a canvas artist who does custom wall art for the discerning mom. She promises no two pieces of wall decor are ever alike so you can be sure you will have a one-of-a-find look.  Kimberly also provides ideas, inspiration, and tips for nursery decorating and can work with you to develop a concept that will make your nursery unique and special.  If you already have a style or color palette in mind, she can work with you to make sure your wall art matches your kid’s room decor.

We’ve chosen a few of her custom wall canvases to showcase here.  These black and white elephants wrapped in pale blue and green stripes are stylish for a boy’s room. The cute, bright pink curly-cue style wall letters are not what you’d find among mass retailers.  They are way too extraordinary!  And, the blue and olive argyle-styled baby name wall art (complete with white stitching and a few decorative polka dots) feels as cozy as your favorite sweater.

Prices are very affordable and start at $30 a canvas. You can specify your size, color, and Kimberly can get it to you in three weeks.

Ogling Over Orange Leopards, Lions, & Other Cats for Unique Nursery Decor

Orange lion organic baby bedding and decor

Orange lion organic baby bedding and decor

We love the idea of using orange in a nursery.  It’s a statement-making color that shouts modern, stylish, and fun. We especially love it when the color is used in a way perfectly fit for a kid’s room.  This organic bedding set from Pixel Organics does just that.  Orange is the primary color in the decor accented by beautiful matching cats – an orange striped tiger, a spotted leopard, a soft black cat, a peach cat, all with friendly faces bringing lots of smiles to your feline themed baby room. 

The addition of the bamboo-like pattern complements the bedding with an element of nature bringing realism to the room.

We love the clean lines of the cats, the modern white and brown crib, and the brown wood rocking chair.  And, the punchy throw pillows are a nice touch.  The surprising olive green wall paint softens the sharpness of the orange and white color scheme bringing an earthy feel to the room.

Pixel Organics takes their company mission seriously by sourcing their 100% organic cotton products from Turkey and India and producing them in the US.  Their bedding is made with 100% certified organic cotton and their bumpers and comforters are filled with recycled PET (beverage bottle) fill that emits zero measurable VOCs (volatile organic compounds) to help reduce waste.

The 4 piece bedding set comes with a reversible comforter, a reversible bumper, a fitted sheet, and crib skirt and sells for $390.
