Whimsical Nursery

Sarah Pope designed this beautiful room for baby Annalee. She found inspiration for the wisteria branches above the changing table from a Land of Nod catalog.

Attention Grabber

Pope kept the decor simple yet purposeful. The bird and flower arrangement by the crib gives the area a fun focal point.

Cohesive Design

Pope painted the branches and frames white so that they would work better with the nursery. The colors of the birds complement the grey walls.

We love the artwork over the crib: It uses the bird theme without being overwhelming and works well with the blue wall.

This framed bird brings the theme subtly to life. Once you're finished with the nursery, it would work well in an office setting.
