Baby Girl Floral Nursery
When it comes to decorating, I don't think any room is more fun to create and design than a nursery. Check out an inside peek at my baby girl's nursery with a vintage Bohemian garden party theme.
The nursery is a perfect mix of equal parts rustic, vintage, and whimsical topped with Boho accents and floral elements. Combining the refinished Victorian pieces with the rustic furniture kept things interesting and gave the room a unique look.
TEXTURES & COLORS
Our color scheme included various shades of seafoam, sea salt, peach, soft pinks, white, cream, and soft rustic tones.
From the softness of these beautiful throws to the makeshift rug to the crib bedding to the curtains, we kept the colors in mind with every detail.
After searching for the perfect rug and giving up without finding what I was looking for, I came across this soft peach furry fabric remnant from JoAnn Fabric that instantly became the accent rug for a fraction of the cost and was just the look we were going for.
VICTORIAN FURNITURE & DECOR
The Victorian cream dresser and nightstand were originally finds from Facebook Marketplace that I refinished as they were previously a dingy yellow color. To learn how to refinish your own furniture piece, check out my tutorials on the Furniture Makeover page!
Painting the pieces cream freshened up their look and gave them the update I was looking for. I kept the original hardware but transformed it into a more elegant finish with satin nickel and a hint of gold.
On top of the cream nightstand, I added a faux bouquet of flowers that kept the color scheme flowing. To incorporate the muted seafoam color, I spray painted eucalyptus leaves seafoam and added glitter. I found these flowers at Hobby Lobby and on Amazon. Check out these beautiful Faux Flowers (on Amazon)! I also added a flower and leaves to a little basket I had spray painted to tie the look all together.
A friend gave me this scripture cross back in college which I have always adored and kept all these years, so thought it was the perfect addition to the nursery.
For the floral arrangement above the dresser, I started with a rustic tobacco basket (on Amazon) as my base, then added 3 white geometric basket vases (I spray painted the metal brackets silver) with peach faux hydrangeas (on Amazon). I then used a nail to hang the basket vases through the tobacco basket and onto the wall. I threw in some leaves to balance out the look. We centered the basket above two vintage windows that I had previously painted to coordinate with the dresser.
This changing pad cover kept the whimsical theme and color scheme going strong, and I love that you can customize them along with crib bedding and just about anything else. Find the changing pad on Amazon and the changing pad cover at Carousel Designs.
CRIB
I looked all over for a reasonably priced yet softer rustic looking crib until I landed on this beautiful crib "Sorelle Providence 4-in-1 Convertible Crib" in Heritage Fog from Bed, Bath & Beyond. When we originally ordered it, they called us a week later and let us know it was backordered until a month after my daughter's due date, but we figured she would be in our bedside bassinet (on Amazon) in our bedroom for a few months anyway, so it would be fine. The set ended up being shipped the week before she arrived, so we were ecstatic as I was able to finish decorating the nursery a couple days before she made her grand entrance into the world.
Note: The pillow and stuffed animals in the crib are just for the photo... We all know that nothing goes in baby's bed except baby. :) 1 year later though, her Jellycat Bunny (on Amazon) and Charlotte Cuddle & Kind dog (on Amazon) are her favorite nap buddies.
MATCHING FURNITURE SET
To incorporate the soft rustic furniture throughout, we also purchased a few of the matching pieces that were in the "Sorelle Providence" line in the color Heritage Fog. This matching furniture set came in various pieces, but since we were already using the cream vintage set, we opted to purchase the crib, tall dresser, nightstand, toddler rails and conversion kit so E can use this even after she outgrows her crib...

Below is the coordinating "Sorelle Providence Nightstand" in Heritage Fog. A Boho lamp from Pier 1 and picture frames from HomeGoods complete the look.
FLORAL MOBILE
When searching for the perfect mobile for the nursery, I couldn't find what I wanted while still keeping the price reasonable. Instead of spending over $200 on a mobile that may or may not have coordinated, I opted to create my own. I selected faux flowers (on Amazon) and flocked leaves (on Amazon) that coordinated with the nursery color scheme.

READING NOOK
There are so many favorite spots in her nursery, but this cozy reading nook is perfect for cuddling up with baby. From the customized, cozy and adorable Storytime Series Best Chairs rocking chair (find a similar style Glider Rocking Chair on Amazon) and matching ottoman to the lace accented bookshelves stocked with favorite reads, to the macrame hanging baskets (on Amazon), to the Boho reading lamp and buttery soft throw blanket. This little nook is the perfect place to take time to unwind and relax with your little one and create memories while diving into fairytale land. Our days start and end with this rocking chair with many more moments here in between.
For a list of some of our favorite children's books, organized by category, check out "Must Have Books to Stock Your Baby's Library".
The wall bookshelves were originally galvanized metal, but I transformed them into a vintage look by painting them cream then and adding seafoam lace to the front.
And when you run out of room on the shelves, there's always room for more! Nothing like a basket full of books to keep things interesting and fresh while keeping a child's excitement for reading alive.
