Motherly nursery tour: a beautiful + budget-friendly home for baby

I have two little boys and as much as I loved decorating their nurseries, there is something that strikes me as extra special about creating a serene space for a baby girl. I’m especially enamored with the room Instagram influencer Jennifer Bithell created for her daughter, Mila.

Mila’s room is full of precious pieces that really tie it all together. From the baby-sweet bonnets and rattles that serve double-duty as decor to the fun teepee that Mila will love for years to come, it’s both simple and perfect.

Here’s what Jennifer had to say about Mila’s precious little space:

1. What inspired your nursery?

Simplicity. We wanted to keep it peaceful—a room that would make you go “oh, that’s lovely.” And, most importantly, we wanted a nursery that would fit in our budget.

2. What was the first item you bought for the nursery?

About a year before we found out we were having Mila, I purchased the teepee from Etsy. I loved that it was neutral and I imagined our future children playing and making memories in it. 

3. What is the most meaningful piece included in the room?

My husband and I love traveling, so we have few pieces, like the sheep displayed on the shelf, from our travels.  This is our way of connecting our daughter with “our thing” from an early age.
