I'm very excited to launch
A Lovely Lark with a project that's very near and dear to my heart - my nephew's nursery! My sister is due Monday - eek! and has just finished putting the finishing touches on the space. My brother-in-law and she live in a very modern home in Queensland, Australia, so I haven't been able to see much more than glimpses of the design via Skype. Needless to say I was thrilled to receive a pile of photos in my inbox the other day. So without further ado...
She was hoping to create a soft and soothing space but with fun pops of color. The room started out with a neutral palette of yellow and gray, but she added in a few touches of blue after she discovered that she was having a boy. She ran into a few challenges in finding the modern pieces that she loves in Oz, so they ended up having the dresser custom made (for less than the inspiration piece!) and found a company willing to ship her glider all the way from Canada. They also rolled up their sleeves for a few DIY's - they made the crib skirt and cornice themselves!
I think my little nephew is going to spend a lot of happy days in his lovely little space! Thanks sis for sharing your photos with us!

I've so been enjoying Katie's pregnancy journey - incredibly inspiring from her stylish maternity outfits to the sweet letters that her son Max has written to the new baby. I'm looking forward to her nursery reveal (which I'll definitely be sharing with all of you - thanks Katie!) and the birth of her little girl. See more photos from Katie's shower here, and visit her blog here.
