real kids rooms

Interior designer and blogger Bailey McCarthy of Peppermint Bliss is a young, hip mama, and her almost-1-year-old daughter Gracie's room shows off her daring design skills in spectacular fashion. Bailey even found a craftsman to re-create a Paule Marrot tulip fabric (recently featured on Mad Men) that had been discontinued! An electric mix of colors, patterns, and design styles makes this nursery beautifully unique and marvelously whimsical (the gigantic daffodils are just fantastic!).

We were wowed by the woodland bedroom Traci Fleming, owner of Nurseryworks, created for her son, Mason. So it's no surprise that his big sister's room is equally (if not more!) awesome. Using a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings and accessories, Piper's sophisticated room has a whimsical feel that's totally kid-appropriate, but it also has a sense of glamour that will work well as she grows up. We have to admit, vintage Murano lights and Asian bedside tables, a Madeline Weinrib ikat rug, and coral tones have us feeling a bit jealous of little Piper's bedroom.

When your mom is a stylist and interior design Shannon Wollack and your dad is Brad Wollack, a comedian and producer of Chelsea Lately, you're probably going to have a pretty cool, quirky room. (Just check out the office Shannon designed for Chelsea.) And little Spencer's nursery doesn't disappoint. Shannon wasn't afraid of color when she designed Spencer's space, filling it with pops of orange, electric blue, and, most awesome of all, chartreuse. But those bold colors are grounded with lots of black-and-white elements, including a zebra rug and accessories and an amazing Alexander Calder lithograph hanging over Spencer's custom-made dresser. Judging from his room, Spencer is going to have one exciting life (he's already appeared on Chelsea Lately, rocking a bow tie!).

If takes one brave, design-obsessed mama to paint three-toned stripes on her nursery wall at 35 weeks pregnant, but that's exactly what Belinda of Nest Design Studio did while expecting her second son, Charlie. That striped wall isn't the only beyond-amazing element in the room. We're also loving the replica egg chair and pint-size Eames table, the scattering of Ikea spice racks as book holders, and the gallery wall that's both modern and totally kid-appropriate. Keep clicking to see it all!

If you have a boho bone in your body, prepare yourself to fall in love with the nursery Justina Blakeney, a self-described "designer and maker, mover and shaker" (love that!) and popular blogger, created for her baby girl, due in July. Blakeney transformed her walk-in closet into a bohemian, girlie, and truly inspiring space for her lil one. "I love to mix handmade, modern, vintage, and international pieces," says Blakeney. "Our little nursery contains of all of these things: pieces from our travels, hand-me-downs, thrifted finds, hand-crafted elements, and a few modern pieces from Tottini to give the nursery a fresh feel. We also have worked hard to keep the nursery green. We have wooden and bamboo toys, upcycled pieces like our closet bars that used to hold pots and pans in our kitchen and the curtains that used to be a tablecloth."
