Getting the nursery ready!

So you are ready to tackle the nursery and you are not sure where to begin! Let me give you a couple of pointers and ideas to get you started! For more help with this please contact me through my website at www.JLVbebeconcierge.com or call me at 480-717-2795.


Start with toxic free paints, flooring and furniture! At all costs GO GREEN in these areas since this is an area your baby will spend a lot of time in. Also keep in mind you will want furniture that will last, so cribs that convert into beds, or changing stations that can become a hutch/dresser set, etc. A fabulous place to find quality children's furniture is Babystop, which is local here in Scottsdale!

If your looking for a unique touch, having a mural painted to match your theme is perfect! Dana Railey is a local designer/artist here in the valley and does fantastic work! Check her website out at http://scottsdalemurals.com

Here is some of her work:





So we have covered some of the basics, now here are some ways to add decor! There are so many different themes to choose from, but no matter what the theme you will want to make sure all the elements of the room tie in. Lighting fixtures often get overlooked. Try a little chandelier for a girls room, or maybe even an airplane fixture for a boys room as seen below! The possibilities are endless and these pieces really make a statement! 

Have fun with your fabrics and if you are not finding what you want in a store, do not be afraid to purchase the fabric and have them made! For the windows you will want a material that can control too much sun and heat from coming in the room. If you went with a solid color for your walls this is a great way to get the room to pop! With drapes keep in mind a timeless pattern so you are not changing them out every couple of years! Paisleys, polka dots and stripes are a fun way to do this! 

Get a comfy chair for rocking and reading to your little one, and a book shelf stocked with the classics! A smaller lamp of some sort for soft lighting while you read is something you will want as well! Another thing to keep in mind is the layout of the room, not placing the crib right under a window, making sure the changing station is near the diaper pail and hamper, etc. For more information on this, how to stock your nursery, nursery decor and organization please call or email me for a private consult!
