Guest Picks: A Nursery Starts With Art
A beautiful art print is the catalyst for this happy blue and yellow nursery design
I often get asked how I come up with my nursery design ideas, and the answer is that I almost always start with one inspirational piece. In my daughter's nursery, it was her curtains; in her big girl room, it was her rug. But one of my favorite things to use as a jumping-off point is artwork. The lion print by Lizzy Stewart is a perfect example: It has serious style and a beautiful color palette. Read on to see the space that it inspired. — Lauren from A Lovely Life
