FedEx, UPS, and USPS have all worked hard over the past year, but no one has been busier delivering precious parcels than the stork! As growing families feather the nest for their new arrivals, the nursery is the latest room of the house to become the decorating muse of our beloved Grandmillennial style — and a current object of our affection here at The Glam Pad.
A few years ago, Amy Berry’s designs were some of the first Grandmillennial-graced nurseries to catch our attention, and since then, spaces by Clary Bosbyshell and others have continued to use style elements that we love, such as chintz and soft color palettes paired with classic crib silhouettes and timeless furniture. Whether you are color scheming for an expected arrival from the stork, or hoping and praying for a baby-to-be, Andrea and I are pleased to share some of the Grandmillennial nursery projects that have ruffled our feathers recently, plus an inspired source list to keep the (ahem) non-avian package carriers bringing you bundles of baby joy! — Lacelliese

Wonderful rooms~very lucky boys and girls who live in them. Beautiful work.
Please stop showing crib bumpers as part of “good design”. As interior designers we have a duty to take health and safety into account when presenting design solutions. Crib bumpers are known suffocation dangers and should not be used, per the American Academy of Pediatrics, among others. Interior design is so much more than creating pretty rooms or getting great pictures- we have a real responsibility to our clients!
Could not agree more about the bumper pads and pillows in the cribs and I hope those lovely shelves are all bolted to the wall so the child doesn’t pull the shelf down on top of themselves. They are all beautiful rooms but certainly show an unrealistic picture of what a child’s room should have in them.
That totally depends on the developmental programs the parents are providing for the child. Some children can very safely have bumper pads included in a healthy environment. In certain circumstances, one month olds can crawl well enough to hit their heads or get hands and feet stuck. Those babies need bumper pads. Bumpers are only dangerous to babies who have to withstand a confining developmental environment.
Baby fever!
I had twin girls so I just wanted a pretty room that they could grow with.
Happy to see many of these rooms would grow with the child.
Something that make me nervous is when art hung above crib or changing table…looks pretty but sure enough curious hands and feet alway find a tug a kick..
Thank you Andrea and Lacelliese for featuring beautiful, inspiring rooms– including these charming nurseries. Like the clients who commission these lovely spaces, we, your audience, are informed and intelligent folks who can determine the right and best choices for our own families’ health, safety, and well-being. One of the many things about your blog that I find so refreshing is the fact that is a place to simply come and enjoy expressions of grace, beauty, creativity, and inspiration. There are precious few places remaining that are not politicized, polarized pulpits for the sanctimonious condemnation and “correction” of others. I am grateful that your blog is one of these precious few places! Keep posting what is beautiful to you and continue to trust each of us to remain “self-influenced” as we share in the beauty…
Totally agree, Dianne, thank you.
Love this blog and really do think people should chose whatever is best for their own family.
