room decor

346 Living features style-conscious DIY projects and a youthful, easy approach to interior design. So when Lizzie, the brains behind the blog, shared the news of her pregnancy, her readers knew that a fabulous nursery was just around the corner.

Baby Zoe's room is crisp, cool, and features a decidedly un-baby color palette of mint and white with pops of gold, black, and pink. "Try and use pieces you already have in your home, or pick furniture that could easily go into another space," Lizzie said. "This way you have amazing pieces that will be very versatile.

Stylist and designer Estee Stanley has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, styling red-carpet looks for Jessica Biel, Lea Michele, Ashley Olsen, and Penélope Cruz, designing homes for Amanda Peet and Rashida Jones, and launching awesome site HomeMint with Justin Timberlake.

"Being a designer, I've always found that everything for nurseries was so childlike . . . princesses and weird animal wallpaper," Estee says. "That's not my aesthetic. You can have a cute child's room without it looking like you're in Disneyland!" Kid-friendly but mature, the spaces Estee designed for her son, Teddy, 4, and daughter, Flora, 1, feature her design hallmarks of muted tones, artistic details, and high-end pieces mixed with vintage finds.

Its been a year since the American Academy of Pediatrics updated its sleep guidelines to officially advocate against the use of crib bumpers. While many moms simply remove the offending piece from their lil ones' cribs, they've still paid (often a hefty price) for the padded fabric that is going to waste. Rather than throw money down the drain, parents in search of safe, AAP-approved crib sets can now find a variety of bumperless options to complement their nursery. While some simply play up the crib sheet and crib skirt, others are specifically designed to mimic the bumper look, without the actual product. Keep reading to see some of our favorite options!
